Efficacy and Safety Study of DP-b99 in Treating Acute Ischemic Stroke — MACSI  

Acute Ischemic Stroke Clinical Trial

Official title: A Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group, Multicenter Phase 3 Pivotal Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of 1mg/kg/Day Intravenous DP-b99 Over 4 Consecutive Days Versus Placebo When Initiated Within Nine Hours of Acute Ischemic Stroke Onset

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this trial is to determine if intravenous administration of the metal ion trapping agent DP-b99 up to 9 hours following acute ischemic stroke onset, and then for 3 additional days (4 consecutive days in total) is effective in improving long term outcome. Patients will be followed up for 3 months after the stroke.

Clinical Trial Description

This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, multi-national, parallel-arm, pivotal study comparing a placebo group to a DP-b99 group treated with intravenous 1.0 mg/kg/d for 4 consecutive days, in acute ischemic stroke patients with an entry National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 10-16 and a clinical syndrome that includes at least 1 of the following: language dysfunction, visual field defect or Extinction and Inattention (formerly Neglect) (as reflected by at least 1 point on any of the corresponding items of the NIHSS: 9, 3 or 11). An interim analysis for futility will be performed after Day 90 (or last available observation) primary endpoint data have been collected on about 45% of subjects planned to be enrolled. Clinical trial material (CTM) will be administered within 9 hours after the onset of acute ischemic stroke symptoms. Subjects will be randomized at a ratio of 1:1 to receive either DP-b99 or placebo. A data and safety monitoring board (DSMB) will assess the accumulating safety data periodically and will oversee the interim futility analysis. ;
