Who might be able to join this trial:
- Adults aged 18 or older.
- People who have been clinically diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blockage in blood flow to the brain), confirmed by brain imaging showing a relevant area of damage, or with symptoms lasting more than 24 hours, with a scan ruling out bleeding or non-stroke causes.
- People experiencing their first stroke, or those who have had a previous stroke but recovered well with little to no lasting disability (as measured by a standard disability scale called the mRS, with a score of 1 or less).
- People whom the treating doctors have assessed as suitable to receive clot-dissolving medication given through a drip (either urokinase or alteplase).
- People who are willing to take part voluntarily and sign a consent form — or whose legally authorised representative or relatives can provide consent on their behalf where this is applicable.
Who may not be able to join:
- People for whom clot-dissolving (thrombolysis) treatment is medically unsuitable, based on contraindications listed in the 2018 Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke.
- Women of childbearing age who are known to be pregnant, are breastfeeding, or who have a positive pregnancy test at the time of admission.
- People with a known history of drug or controlled substance abuse or addiction in the past year.
- People with an existing cancer or severe systemic illness where life expectancy is estimated to be less than 90 days.
- People whose mental illness or cognitive (thinking or memory) difficulties would prevent them from being able to follow the study requirements.
- People who have taken part in another clinical trial involving a drug or medical device within the 3 months before screening.
- People whom the treating doctors consider unsuitable for this study for any other reason.
