What is being measured

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

  1. Summary of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event Reported by >10% of Participants Following Ascending Doses of DS-1040b and a Placebo in Participants With Acute Ischemic Stroke

    Treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event that emerges during the treatment period (from first dose date until 30 days after the last dosing date), having been absent at predose; or reemerges during treatment, having been present at baseline but stopped prior to treatment; or worsens in severity after starting treatment relative to the pre-dose state, when the adverse event is continuous.

    Measured: Baseline up to 90 days post last dose, up to 3 years 11 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Summary of Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter Maximum (Peak) Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of DS-1040b Following Ascending Doses in Participants With Acute Ischemic Stroke

    The PK parameter of Maximum (Peak) Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of DS-1040b was calculated from the plasma concentrations of DS-1040b using non-compartmental analysis

    Measured: Predose, 0.5, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours postdose

  2. Summary of Pharmacokinetic Parameter Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve From Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration Sampling Point (AUClast) of DS-1040b Following Ascending Doses in Participants With Acute Ischemic Stroke

    The PK parameter of Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve from Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration Sampling Point of DS-1040b was calculated from the plasma concentrations of DS-1040b using non-compartmental analysis

    Measured: Predose, 0.5, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours postdose

  3. Summary of Pharmacokinetic Parameter Terminal Half-life (t1/2) of DS-1040b Following Ascending Doses in Participants With Acute Ischemic Stroke

    The PK parameter of Terminal Half-life of DS-1040b was calculated from the plasma concentrations of DS-1040b using non-compartmental analysis in patients with available sample for the analysis.

    Measured: Pre-dose, 0.5, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours post-dose

  4. Summary of Activated Form of Thrombin-activatable Fibrinolysis Inhibitor (TAFIa) Following Ascending Doses of DS-1040b and a Placebo in Participants With Acute Ischemic Stroke

    The enzymatic activity of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor was assessed using the Stago Coagulation Analyzer.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 hours postdose

  5. Summary of Changes From Baseline at Day 30 in National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) Score Following Ascending Doses of DS-1040b and a Placebo in Participants With Acute Ischemic Stroke

    The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) quantifies stroke severity based on weighted evaluation findings. The score for each ability is a number between 0 and 4, with 0 being normal functioning and 4 being completely impaired. The patient's NIHSS score is calculated by adding the number for each element of the scale; 42 is the highest score possible. In the NIHSS, the higher the score indicates more impairment (worse outcome) in a stroke patient.

    Measured: 30 days post dose

  6. Percentage of Participants With a Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score of 0 to 2 Following Ascending Doses of DS-1040b and a Placebo in Participants With Acute Ischemic Stroke

    The modified Rankin scale (mRS) is a commonly used disability scale derived from the Rankin scale that is used to measure the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability. The level of disability following a stroke is assessed via a scale from 0 to 6, where 0 is no symptoms at all and 6 indicates death. Higher scores indicate worse outcome. The percentage of participants with an mRS score of 0 to 2 at Day 5 (baseline) and Day 90 is being reported.

    Measured: Day 5 (baseline) and Day 90 post dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing DS-1040b in people with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Thrombotic Disease, run by Daiichi Sankyo at 55 sites in 11 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 7 inclusion and 26 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 9 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 55 sites in United States, Spain, Italy, Australia, Taiwan and 6 more countries. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Sep 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Summary of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event Reported by >10% of Participants Following Ascending Doses of DS-1040b and a Placebo in Participants With Acute Ischemic Stroke (time frame: Baseline up to 90 days post last dose, up to 3 years 11 months). 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 9 Sep 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
