Brief Summary

The DIAS study (Part 2) was performed to support the dose finding of desmoteplase treatment in subjects with acute ischemic stroke selected by perfusion/diffusion mismatch on MRI within a time window ...

Detailed Description

Acute stroke is the third leading cause of mortality in developed countries and the major medical cause of disability. The outcome can be improved by early treatment with thrombolysis. Alteplase (r-tP...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion
