About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase II Clinical Trial to Assess the Efficacy and to Evaluate Safety of HT047 in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke

To assess the efficacy and to evaluate safety of HT047 in patients with acute ischemic stroke

Read the detailed description

This clinical study is designed to initiate treatment with high or low dose HT047 or placebo in subjects with acute ischemic stroke within 2 weeks of onset of the disease and evaluate neurological function recovery in these subjects as measured by the extent of motor function recovery at Week 12 of treatment.

Subjects must have had a recent onset of acute ischemic stroke as confirmed by brain imaging. In terms of symptoms of ischemic stroke, patients who have motor function impairment with FMA motor score ≤ 55 as well as neurological function impairment with K-NIHSS score ≥ 4 and ≤ 15 are eligible for study participation. A subject who is considered by the investigator to be appropriate for study participation and provides informed consent will participate in this study.

At baseline, subjects will be randomized to HT047 high dose group (2250 mg/day), HT047 low dose group (1500 mg/day), or placebo group in a 1:1:1 ratio in a double blind fashion and be treated with the investigational product for 12 weeks starting from the next morning of baseline with a three times a day dosing schedule, 3 tablets per dose.

Since this is a first-in-human trial for HT047, subjects will have a study visit at Week 1 (Day 7) of participation for laboratory tests, ECG, and chest x-ray. A one-month portion of the investigational product will be supplied. During study treatment, subjects will visit the hospital at Weeks 1, 4, 8, and 12.

During the Week 1 visit, the above tests will be performed and the subject's physical status will be checked before he/she is sent home. In the subsequent visits, neurological function assessment and drug exchange will be carried out. At each visit, the study staff should carefully check the subject's medication compliance and verify the accurate number of remaining doses to be countered.

After 12 weeks of study conduct as shown in the above figure, at Week 12, laboratory tests performed at Week 1 will be repeated and overall change in the subject's status will be confirmed before all study procedures are ended.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change at Week 12 of treatment with HT047 Tab. from baseline in Korean version of Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) motor function score

    Total score of motor function test for upper extremity in 66 marks plus total score of motor function test for lower extremity in 34 marks is 100 marks.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change at Weeks 4, 8 and 12 from baseline in FMA motor function score

    Total score of motor function test for upper extremity in 66 marks plus total score of motor function test for lower extremity in 34 marks is 100 marks.

    Measured: 4weeks, 8weeks, 12 weeks

  2. Change at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 from baseline in FMA motor function score according to the timing of treatment initiation after the onset of stroke.

    Total score of motor function test for upper extremity in 66 marks plus total score of motor function test for lower extremity in 34 marks is 100 marks.

    Measured: 4weeks, 8weeks, 12 weeks

  3. Change at Weeks 4, 8, and 12 from baseline in FMA motor function score according to the presence of prognostic risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, etc.)

    Total score of motor function test for upper extremity in 66 marks plus total score of motor function test for lower extremity in 34 marks is 100 marks.

    Measured: 4weeks, 8weeks, 12 weeks

  4. Change at Weeks 4 and 12 from baseline in Korean-National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (K-NIHSS) scores

    Total score of K-NIHSS would be scored by 11 categories.

    Measured: 4weeks, 12 weeks

  5. Change at Weeks 4 and 12 from baseline in Korean modified Rankin Scale (K-mRS) scores

    Different 6 questions can be scored by 0-5 marks.

    Measured: 4weeks, 12weeks

  6. Proportion of subjects with K-NIHSS score 0 - 2 at Week 12

    Total score of K-NIHSS would be scored by 11 categories.

    Measured: 12weeks

  7. Proportion of subjects with K-mRS score 0, ≤ 1, and ≤ 2 at Week 12

    Different 6 questions can be scored by 0-5 marks.

    Measured: 12weeks

  8. Change at Weeks 4 and 12 from baseline in Korean Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) score

    Total scores (0-100) should be rated by 5 stages in 10 categories.

    Measured: 4weeks, 12weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing HT047 High-dose group and HT047 Low-dose group in people with Ischemic Stroke, run by Hocheol Kim at 8 sites in South Korea.

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 6 inclusion and 23 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 2 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in South Korea. 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?

Change at Week 12 of treatment with HT047 Tab. from baseline in Korean version of Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) motor function score (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 NCT02828540, 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 2 Oct 2018.
