Race against time: new stroke drug trial aims to save more brain function

NCT ID NCT06658197

Summary

This large Phase 3 trial is testing which of two clot-busting drugs works better for people having a major stroke caused by a large blocked artery. About 850 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard drug (alteplase) or a newer alternative (tenecteplase) within 4.5 hours of stroke symptoms, followed by a procedure to physically remove the clot. The main goal is to see which drug combination helps more people regain independence in daily life 90 days after their stroke.
