Description
This Study is testing the study drug to see if it can be used safely and effectively in people who have experienced an ischemic stroke in the past 24 hours and cannot take other approved treatments.
The study drug is a man-made form of an enzyme called kallikrein-1 (KLK1.) KLK1 causes the body to produce kinins, which are substances in the blood that widen blood vessels and improve blood flow in the brain. The study drug needs to be administered within 24 hours of the onset of stroke symptoms.
After a study screening to check if patients are eligible they will be randomly assigned (like flipping a coin) to study treatment with either the study drug or placebo, an inactive substance. Comparing against a placebo is important to make sure that any changes seen during the study are due to the investigational drug alone and not another reason.
This first dose is administered as an intravenous infusion (IV) IN THE HOSPITAL. Subsequent doses will then be administered as a subcutaneous injection, which is an injection under the skin in the abdomen arm or thigh.
Once patients are discharged the study drug injections will be given at either a rehab facility, the study doctor's clinic, or at their home by a caregiver or visiting nurses twice each week for the following 3 weeks. The study team will call patients or their caregiver or available healthcare provider to review the study drug injection process and to see how they are doing. There will be 2 final visits at 1 month and 2 moths after the end-of-study treatment for additional health checks.
