Extension of Stroke Care by Added neuroProtection to Endovascular treatment (ESCAPE-NA1)
FY 2015-16
Summary
Major ischemic stroke is a fatal and disabling condition. Treatment with endovascular thrombectomy, a new treatment proven in the Canadian ESCAPE trial, markedly improves good outcomes. However, 50% of patients still have a poor outcome. To improve outcomes further, we will use a novel medicine - called NA1 - that protects the brain while the endovascular treatment can be completed. We propose to prove that NA1 is effective for treating stroke with a randomized controlled trial.
