About Desmoteplase Desmoteplase, the most fibrin-specific plasminogen activator known today, is a genetically engineered version of a clot-dissolving protein found in the saliva of the vampire bat Desmodus rotundus. It has received fast-track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the indication of acute ischaemic stroke.

About Stroke According to a recent publication by the American Stroke Association (ASA), stroke now is the second leading cause of death worldwide and is a leading cause of serious, long-term disability. In the US alone, 700,000 people suffer a stroke attack each year, and around 20% of them die within four weeks. For the US, the American Heart Association (AHA) expects the financial burden of stroke due to in-hospital costs, long-term care programs and productivity losses to be 63 billion dollars in 2007 alone.
