Hi Nigel,

The main aim of the chant trial is safety and tolerability. The drug can be given in the first golden hour and the paramedics can't use the imaging tech to distinguish it in the first hour. So i think this is a better study in that respect to give the drug immaterial of whether it is ischaemic or H'agic. Getting the drug in within the first golden hour of stroke is a total diff issue.

What puzzles me more is that it didn't fare well in the NIHSS scale which is more widely adopted. MRS scale looks very vague to me.

However I think due to the increased trial no, it may show marginal efficacy in Saint II trial and get approved with FDA due to low threshold.

Regards,
Praveen
