Overarching aim | The aim of the RIGHT2 trial was to assess the safety and efficacy of transdermal glyceryl trinitrate, a nitric oxide donor, in hyper-acute stroke in the context of a multicentre ambulance-based trial. |
Objectives | Primary objectives
Secondary objectives
|
Methods | Randomised controlled clinical trial |
Outcomes
|
The most important expected outcomes of RIGHT2 will be to determine the difference between GTN and no GTN in death, disability, dependency, mood, cognition, and quality of life following stroke. |

Impact | Clinical-medical: a novel treatment for hyper-acute stroke which, if shown to be effective, will change management of stroke worldwide.
Economic: potential for reduction in costs of hospital treatment and long term health and social care from stroke. Social: potential for prevention of long-term disability and suffering from stroke. |
