First seen Jan 21, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study tests whether giving a powerful cholesterol-lowering drug (PCSK9 inhibitor) before a clot-removal procedure helps people recover better from a severe stroke. About 652 adults who are having a stroke due to a large blocked artery in the front part of the brain will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug plus standard care, or standard care alone. The main goal is to see if more people are able to live independently 90 days after the stroke.
