Acute ischaemic stroke S troke is the third leading cause of death in the industrialised world and a leading cause of serious, long-term disability. In the USA alone, 600,000 people suffer from a stroke each year, and around 20% of them die within four weeks. Ischaemic stroke is the most common type of stroke and occurs when an artery in the brain is obstructed by a blood clot. The only currently available clot-dissolving agent must be administered within three hours of symptom onset; however, approximately 80% of stroke patients arrive at the hospital after the three-hour limit. Lundbeck is developing desmoteplase for the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke and in collaboration with the American biotech company Warren Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Lu AA24493 for the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke and other diseases with neuronal damage. 57
