Participating Countries in Patient Enrolment

EAST-STROKE is a collaborative effort and consists of several trials jointly investigating a shared research question. At the heart of this initiative is EAST-STROKE Europe, which will serve as the central and coordinating hub for a network of interconnected trials. These trials will also be conducted in Australia and Canada, where funding has already been approved, as well as in additional countries that are currently at various stages of preparation. By fostering international collaboration, EAST-STROKE aims to generate robust, globally relevant insights that will advance stroke research and improve patient outcomes worldwide.
