Stroke drug given during ambulance ride could boost recovery
NCT ID NCT07682922
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a sublingual (under-the-tongue) tablet of edaravone dexborneol, given within 6 hours of stroke onset during transfer between hospitals, can improve functional recovery in people with acute ischemic stroke. About 1,040 participants will receive either the drug or a placebo. The main goal is to see if the drug reduces disability at 90 days, measured by the modified Rankin Scale.
