Summary

This study tests a drug called sovateltide in 160 people who have had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blood clot). The goal is to see if the drug helps patients recover better and is safe. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo within 24 hours of their stroke, and researchers track their recovery over time using standard disability scales.
