Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the leading causes of death and neurological disability worldwide. Despite the significant burden of IS, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA/alteplase [Genentech’s Activase, other brands]) is the only pharmacological therapy approved for the (acute) treatment of IS owing to persistent failure of investigational compounds over the past two decades. However, because of strict inclusion criteria and documented safety risks, only a small fraction of diagnosed IS events receive rt-PA. Therefore, a tremendous amount of unmet clinical need remains for alternative treatments that can help avert permanent neurological damage and restore neurological function in post-stroke survivors living with residual impairment.
