Brief description Stroke is most likely caused by a clot in one of the large blood vessels supplying the brain. The approach is to save the 'at-risk' area of brain with drugs that break-down clots and by manual removal of clots. These treatments are limited by timely access within 4.5 hours to larger hospitals. We are trialing a new drug that protects the brain better on its own and may add to the benefit of current treatments. Moreover, it can be given in any rural setting.
