Abstract

The STAIR (Stroke Treatment Academic Industry Roundtable) sponsored a workshop during the STAIR XIII conference in Washington, DC on March 27 to 28, 2025, to develop consensus recommendations, particularly regarding research priorities and design elements for trials of reperfusion therapies. This forum brought together stroke neurologists, neuroradiologists, neuroimaging research scientists, members of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and industry representatives to discuss future developments in reperfusion therapies. The reperfusion trials session summarized and compared recent acute stroke trials. The workshop developed consensus recommendations for research pr..
