Massive global trial aims to find best stroke treatments
NCT ID NCT06352632
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing several different treatments for stroke, including different doses of a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase and blood pressure management strategies. It aims to find which treatments or combinations work best to improve recovery and reduce disability. The study will include 20,000 adults diagnosed with stroke from hospitals around the world.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- tenecteplase (clot-busting drug) and blood pressure management
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this trial could identify the most effective combination of treatments to improve recovery and reduce disability after a stroke, potentially changing global stroke care guidelines.
- What could go wrong
- This is a large, complex trial testing many treatments at once, so results may take years and some approaches may not prove better than current care. Bleeding risk from clot-busting drugs is a known concern.
