Description

The goal of this initiative is to accelerate the identification of the most promising neuroprotective therapies, and span the gap between preclinical and clinical testing, by creating a preclinical stroke network to support late stage preclinical parallel testing of promising neuroprotectants to be given prior to or at the time of reperfusion, with clinically relevant long-term outcomes and comorbidities. This approach will help to determine if an intervention can indeed improve outcome as compared to reperfusion alone and/or extend the therapeutic window for reperfusion, in an experimental controlled setting and in a time and cost-effective manner using an adaptive design approach.
