Recruiting at 78 sites Phase 2, Phase 3 Acute Stroke

Clinical trial for Acute Stroke

Official title Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke (ReMEDy2 Trial)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05065216

What this study is testing

What is Recombinant human tissue kallikrein (DM199)?

An investigational medicine being studied for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.

Also referred to as DM199.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The study wants to see if DM199 is safe and helps people with moderate strokes caused by small or medium vessel blockages.
Who it's for
Adults who have had a moderate ischemic stroke and can get to the hospital within 24 hours, but who are not getting clot‑removal surgery or clot‑breaking drugs unless they still have moderate symptoms after six hours.
What's involved
Participants will receive either DM199 or a placebo in a double‑blind, randomized design. They will have regular visits and tests to monitor safety and stroke recovery.
Time commitment
The study lasts about 90 days, with several clinic visits and tests during that time.
  • Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
