What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of desmoteplase doses of 70 µg/kg and 90 µg/kg in Japanese patients with acute ischemic stroke as measured by the presence of symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage (sICH) within 72 hours after IMP

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. To evaluate the clinical improvement at Day 90 after administration of Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) as measured by modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    Measured: 90 days

  2. To evaluate the clinical improvement at Day 7 and 30 after administration of IMP as measured by modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    Measured: Day 7 and Day 30

  3. To evaluate recanalisation at 18±6 hr after administration of IMP

    Measured: 18±6 hr after administration of IMP

  4. To evaluate change in infarct size at 18±6 hr relative to pre-treatment infarct size

    Measured: 18±6 hr after administration

  5. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of desmoteplase

    Measured: 0.5 - 9 hr

  6. To evaluate the immunogenicity of desmoteplase

    Measured: Day 7, Day 30, Day 90

  7. To explore the predictive value of different volumes of absolute mismatch for the clinical response and other objectives

    Measured: Day 90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Desmoteplase in people with Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by Lundbeck Japan K. K. at 19 sites in Japan.

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 8 inclusion and 20 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in Japan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of desmoteplase doses of 70 µg/kg and 90 µg/kg in Japanese patients with acute ischemic stroke as measured by the presence of symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage (sICH) within 72 hours after IMP (time frame: 90 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01104467, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Aug 2021.
