First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is observing 500 adults with severe pulmonary embolism (a dangerous blood clot in the lungs) to see if the timing of clot-busting treatments affects survival and complications. Researchers want to find the optimal time window to start treatment, similar to how heart attacks and strokes are treated. The goal is to improve outcomes by understanding when treatment is most effective.
