NIH StrokeNet Acute TrialsMulti-Arm Optimization of Stroke Thrombolysis Stroke Trial (MOST)
Location: University of Virginia
Purpose: The goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of combining a drug known as tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA, with blood thinners argatroban or eptifibatide. The research will look at whether combining tPA with either argatroban or eptifibatide will produce better results in stroke patients in the first 90 days after suffering a stroke versus tPA with a placebo.
The plan is for 110 hospitals to take part in the study through NIH StrokeNet, the University of Cincinnati based National Coordinating Center for all stroke trials funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
