NCT ID NCT07241520

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

Summary

This large Phase 3 trial is testing whether an investigational drug called SHPL-49 can help people recover better after an acute ischemic stroke. About 1,096 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo as an IV infusion twice daily for 7 days, alongside standard care. The main goal is to see if more people achieve functional independence (able to carry out daily activities) 90 days after the stroke.
