Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the safety of microplasmin as well as its ability to open blocked arteries to the brain in patients with acute stroke when given into the artery at the site of the blockage.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with angiographically documented acute intracranial vertebrobasilar artery occlusion presenting within 24 hours of neurological symptom onset will be enrolled into this open-label trial. During study drug administration, angiograms will be repeated at regular intervals to determine degree of clot lysis.
