| Summary | Can Semaglutide help reduce the damage caused by a stroke? ASSET trial is a national, multicenter, clinical trial, investigating the safety and efficacy of Semaglutide in non-diabetic patients with acute ischemic stroke. Stroke is a worldwide leading cause of long-term disability and death. In the most common type of stroke (ischemic stroke), a blood clot obstructs an artery in the brain, and thereby prevents oxygenated blood from reaching an area of the brain. Brain cells are particularly vulnerable to the lack of oxygen. In the areas most severely affected by a stroke, brain cells die after 5 minutes. As more time pass, the affected area expands, and more brain cells perish. Today, efficient treatments aiming at reestablishing the flow of blood by either breaking down the blood clot (thr |
