Observational Study of Ischaemic Stroke

The rationale for this study is to facilitate future Phase II/III clinical trials and improve outcome for patients suffering residual disability after an ischaemic stroke. Main study objectives are to document and better define the prognostic characteristics of residual disability in patients following an ischaemic stroke, to inform the design of small efficient Phase II studies when screening potentially efficacious interventions for signals of activity which merit further development and to establish a pool of patients who may be approached to participate in future clinical trials in the ischaemic stroke setting.
