Measure
SCENESSE® (Afamelanotide 16mg)
Six adult patients with clots located in the higher segments of the brain and who are ineligible for alternative treatments will be enrolled in the study and evaluated for six weeks. The study will assess patients' brain injury with computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as using recognised methods of clinical evaluation to measure changes in patients' neurological and cognitive function following treatment.

Changes of Neurological Function as Measured by the National Institutional Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS).
-4.5 Score on a scale
Interval -8.0 to 41.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline to Day 42

The mRS indicates the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of patients who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability. The scale runs from 0-6, running from perfect health without symptoms (0) to death (+6).
