Two new centers start in early 2017 with target end of recruitment September 2019. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p> This is the first randomized study to test for disability, healthcare utilization, and cost-effectiveness of a mobile stroke unit. The progress of the study suggests that it is feasible. Management of tissue plasminogen activator eligible acute ischemic stroke patients by a mobile stroke unit could potentially result in less disability and healthcare utilization, and be cost effective. Mobile stroke units are very costly. This trial may determine if the fixed cost can be justified by a reduction in disability and healthcare utilization. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical Trial Registration</jats:title><jats:p> NCT02190500. </jats:p></jats:sec>
