NCT ID NCT05403866

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tested a drug called LT3001 in 89 people who had an acute ischemic stroke. Participants received either the drug or a placebo within 24 hours of their stroke. The study found no serious drug-related side effects, suggesting LT3001 is safe. Researchers are now looking at whether it helps patients recover better than standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

LT3001 (a drug given by IV infusion to treat stroke)

What this could lead to

If successful, LT3001 could offer a new treatment option for acute ischemic stroke, potentially improving recovery when given within 24 hours of symptoms.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 89 participants, so results may not apply to all stroke patients. The drug's effectiveness is still unproven, and larger studies are needed.
