Who may not be able to join:

- People for whom the clot-removal procedure (endovascular thrombectomy) is medically not an option
- People whose weakness or paralysis is caused by a seizure rather than a stroke, or people with other neurological or psychiatric conditions that prevent them from cooperating with the trial

- People who have taken part in another interventional clinical trial within the past 3 months
