About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double Blind, Multi Center, Multinational, Placebo Controlled, Single Parallel Escalating Dose Safety and Efficacy Study of ACT017 Used as an Add on Therapy on Top of Standard of Care of Acute Ischemic Stroke

To assess safety of single IV (bolus + infusion) doses of ACT017 in patients with an acute ischemic stroke in addition to best emergency standard of care (including fibrinolysis by rtPA with or without added thrombectomy), with a specific focus on hemorrhage, whether clinically symptomatic (NIHSS score + 4 points or death, without other explanation), or seen (excluding other diagnoses) on 24-hour (hr) CT scan, serious adverse events (SAEs), suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs), and medically important events and other safety items including biological and immunological tolerability.

Read the detailed description

This first in-patient randomized, double blind, multicenter, multinational, placebo-controlled, parallel-dose 2-phase study combines a dose-escalation phase (1b) and a consolidation phase (2a).

Dose Escalation (Phase 1b):

Phase 1b was designed to (I) assess the dose- related safety and potential efficacy of glenzocimab administered as soon as possible and no later than 3 hours after the start of thrombolysis with tPA (itself administered within 4.5 hrs of the onset of acute ischemic stroke symptoms), and (II) identify the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).

During this phase, patients were unevenly randomized between groups, to obtain a total of 60 patients, 12 at each dose level. At the starting level, 8 patients received either glenzocimab at the lowest pharmacologically active dose of 125 mg (n=4) or the matching placebo(n=4). After real-time review by the DSMB of clinical safety and a CT scan (and where available MRI) and giving a favorable opinion, the next patients were randomized in the second cohort (n=8) with 4 patients under a higher dose of 250 mg, 2 patients remaining at the initial starting dose (125 mg), and 2 patients under placebo. Following the same process, and after favorable opinion from the DSMB, patients were randomized in the third cohort (n=10) and received glenzocimab 500 mg (n=4), randomized versus 250 mg (n=2), 125 mg (n=2) or placebo (n=2). Similarly, the fourth cohort (n=12) randomized patients between ahigher dose of 1000 mg (n=4), versus 500 mg (n=2), 250 mg (n=2), 125 mg (n=2), or placebo (n=2). Once this fourth cohort completed, the DSMB issued a further positive opinion and the fifth cohort (n=22) randomized patients to 1000 mg (n=8), versus 500 mg (n=6), 250 mg (n=4), 125 mg (n=2), or placebo (n=2).

Consolidation Phase with Final Dose (Phase 2a):

After having reviewed patient's safety data included in the first part of the study, the DSMB confirmed that the study can continue with the glenzocimab recommended dose of 1000 mg. During this phase, a group of 100 patients will be treated, 50 with glenzocimab and 50 with matching placebo to complete the group of 160 patients planned to participate in this study.

In addition, patients in each treatment arm will be stratified by type of Standard of Care (SOC) administered:

  • Thrombolysis with tPA only;
  • Thrombolysis with tPA AND mechanical thrombectomy Each treatment arm will contain 25 patients with one SOC, and 25 with the other SOC. The active glenzocimab dose will be that recommended after the last safety analysis has been performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Intravenous ACT017 1000 mg in people with Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by Acticor Biotech at 1 site in France.

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 14 inclusion and 42 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 6 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in 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. 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?

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?

Symptomatic intracranial haemorrhages (time frame: 24 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03803007, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 6 Oct 2021.
