About this trial
Direct-to-angio approach from loCal hOspitals based on a PoInt-of-care bLOod Test for LVO (COPILOT) is a multi-center, prospective, cluster-randomized crossover trial that will evaluate if the triage assessment to thrombectomy puncture time is shorter after performing the LVOne testing compared to current management standards in patients with suspected large vessel occlusion.

Treatments tested in this trial
Diagnostic standard of care
Diagnostic testParticipants will receive the diagnostic standard of care: standard laboratory workup, non-contrast brain CT, brain CTA, brain CTP, or brain MRI.
LVOne Test
Diagnostic testParticipants will receive the LVOne test, which will measure D-dimer and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) levels to diagnose acute stroke.
