Stroke drug combo shows promise in clearing tiny clots
NCT ID NCT04785066
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a drug called dornase alfa (Pulmozyme) can help restore full blood flow to the brain after a stroke. The trial included 39 people who had a stroke and were already receiving standard clot-busting medication and a mechanical clot removal procedure. The goal was to see if the drug could clear tiny remaining clots that the procedure could not reach.
