Summary

This early-stage study tests the safety of a drug called EMPAVELI in 20 adults who had a stroke from a large blood clot and already had it removed. The drug is given through a pump shortly after the procedure and again at 24 and 48 hours to reduce swelling and inflammation when blood flow returns. Researchers will monitor participants with exams, blood tests, and brain scans, with follow-up visits at 30 and 90 days to see how they recover.
