Study Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether desmoteplase is effective and safe in the treatment of patients with acute ischaemic stroke when given within 3 to 9 hours from onset of stroke symptoms.

Primary Outcome

The mRS is a clinician-rated scale designed to provide a global assessment of the patients dependency after stroke. The scale consists of a single item measuring the patient's function based on the ability to perform daily activities. The patient is rated on a 7-point scale from 0 to 6, where a score of 5 corresponds to severe disability, and 6 to death. Assessment of a pre-stroke mRS score is based on an interview addressing the status of the patient prior to the stroke
