- 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.
