Stroke recovery rehab trial testing Maraviroc vs. placebo
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if the drug Maraviroc (compared to a placebo) can improve stroke recovery when added to standard rehabilitation. It is for people who have had a specific type of stroke (ischemic anterior circulation) and have weakness on one side of the body, and are already in inpatient rehab.
