What is being measured

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

  1. The percentage of patients who achieved Excellent outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] ≤1 and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] ≤1 and Barthel Index [BI] ≥95) on Day 91 in Cohort 3.

    Measured: 91 days

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Percentage of patients who achieved mRS ≤ 1 or mRS ≤ 2

    Measured: 366 days

  2. Percentage of patients who achieved BI ≥ 95

    Measured: 366 days

  3. Percentage of patients who achieved NIHSS ≤ 1, who achieved improvement of ≥ 75%, and who achieved improvement of ≥ 10 points

    Measured: 91 days

  4. Changes in EQ-5D-5L scores

    The EuroQOL 5 dimension 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) consists of 2 parts: the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS).

    The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: 1="no problems", 2="slight problems", 3="moderate problems", 4="severe problems" and 5="extreme problems".

    The EQ VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale, where the endpoints are labelled 'The best health you can imagine' and 'The worst health you can imagine'.

    Measured: 366 days

  5. Percentage of patients who achieved excellent outcome (mRS ≤ 1, NIHSS ≤ 1, and BI ≥ 95)

    Measured: 91 days

  6. Percentage of patients who showed overall improvement (mRS ≤ 2, NIHSS improvement of ≥ 75%, and BI ≥ 95)

    Measured: 91 days

  7. Incidence of Adverse events (signs and symptoms)

    Measured: 366 days

  8. Changes in Laboratory tests (hematology, blood chemistry, blood coagulation test, urinalysis)

    Number of participants with clinical laboratory abnormalities for each parameter

    • hematology Red blood cell count, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Platelet count, Leukocyte count, Leukocyte formula (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils)
    • blood chemistry Total protein, Albumin, Total bilirubin, Aspartate aminotransferase , Alanine aminotransferase, Alkaline phosphatase , Lactate dehydrogenase , γ-Glutamyltransferase, Blood urea nitrogen , Creatinine, Uric acid, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Chloride, Creatine kinase , C-reactive protein
    • blood coagulation Prothrombin time (International normalized ratio) , Activated partial thromboplastin time
    • urinalysis Urine Protein, Urine Glucose

    Measured: 366 days

  9. Changes in Vital signs (blood pressure [systolic/diastolic], pulse rate, body temperature)

    Number of participants of the vital signs abnormalities for each parameter: blood pressure (mmHg), pulse rate (bpm) and body temperature (℃).

    Measured: 366 days

  10. Changes in Oxygen saturation (SpO2)

    Measured: 366 days

  11. Changes in findings of imaging examination by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or Computed Tomography (CT).

    Measured: 31 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing JTR-161 in people with Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by Teijin Pharma Limited at 1 site 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 4 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 30 Jun 2022. 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 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 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?

The percentage of patients who achieved Excellent outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] ≤1 and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] ≤1 and Barthel Index [BI] ≥95) on Day 91 in Cohort 3. (time frame: 91 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 NCT04608838, 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 30 Jun 2022.
