About this study

Official title: A Phase 1-2, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Blind, Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Activity of Ascending Single Doses of MRX-801 With Continuous Ultrasound Administration in Subjects With Acute Ischemic Stroke Receiving Treatment With Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator

This is a randomized, placebo controlled, parallel group dose escalation trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and activity of four sequential dose tiers of MRX-801 and ultrasound as an adjunctive therapy to tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) treatment in subjects with acute ischemic stroke.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing MRX-801 in people with Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by ImaRx Therapeutics at 14 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in United States, France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Sponsor decision). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (time frame: 36 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Apr 2008.
