Summary

This study tests whether adding an interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor (a drug that reduces inflammation) to standard emergency stroke treatment helps people recover better after a severe stroke caused by a large blood clot in the front part of the brain. About 692 adults who are eligible for emergency clot removal will receive either the drug or a placebo. The main goal is to see if the drug improves disability levels three months after the stroke.
