- People who had measurable stroke symptoms before receiving the clot-dissolving treatment, with a stroke severity score (NIHSS) of 4 or higher
- People whose brain scan at the start shows a sufficient amount of healthy brain tissue remaining (specific scan scores will be assessed by the trial site)
- People who showed little or no improvement — or who got worse after initial improvement — at one hour after receiving the first clot-dissolving treatment
