First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This study tests whether giving a clot-busting drug (tenecteplase) before transferring patients with a severe stroke in the back of the brain (basilar artery occlusion) to a specialized hospital can improve recovery. About 316 adults who had a stroke 4.5 to 24 hours earlier will receive the drug or a placebo before a procedure to remove the clot. The goal is to see if more people regain independence at 90 days.
