E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of the neuroprotectant, nerinetide in:
• Reducing global disability in participants with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives are to determine the efficacy of nerinetide in: 1) Reducing mortality rate 2) Reducing worsening of stroke* 3) Reducing functional dependence 4) Improving neurological outcome * Worsening of stroke is defined as (A) progression, or hemorrhagic transformation of the index stroke, as documented by medical imaging that is (a) life-threatening requiring intervention and/or (b) results in increased disability as gauged by a >/= 4 point increase from lowest NIHSS during hospitalization or (B) results in death from the index stroke. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Analytic One-Year sub-trial. An analytic One-Year follow-up sub-trial component investigating the long-term effects of nerinetide treatment. This One-Year follow-up will be reported separately from the main trial. |
|
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1) Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) selected for emergency endovascular treatment 2) Age 18 years or greater 3) Onset (last-known-well) time to randomization time within 12 hours 4) Disabling stroke defined as a baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Score (NIHSS) a. NIHSS > 5 for internal carotid artery (ICA) and M1-middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion or b. NIHSS > 10 for M2-MCA occlusion 5) Confirmed symptomatic intracranial occlusion at one or more of the following locations: Intracranial carotid I/T/L, M1 or M2 segment MCA. Tandem extracranial carotid and intracranial occlusions are permitted 6) Pre-stroke (24 hours prior to stroke onset) independent functional status in activities of daily living with modified Barthel Index (BI) ≥ 95. Patient must be living without requiring nursing care 7) Qualifying imaging performed less than 2 hours prior to randomization 8) Consent process completed as per national laws and regulation and the applicable ethics committee requirements |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1) Treated with a tissue plasminogen activator (e.g., alteplase or tenecteplase) within 24 hours before randomization 2) Determination by the treating physician, based on current treatment guidelines and medical evidence, that treatment with a plasminogen activator is indicated 3) Large core of established infarction defined as ASPECTS 0-4 4) Absent or poor collateral circulation on qualifying imaging (e.g. Collateral score of 0 or 1) 5) Any intracranial hemorrhage on the qualifying imaging 6) Planned use of an endovascular device not having approval or clearance by the relevant regulatory authority 7) Endovascular thrombectomy procedure is completed as defined by the presence of TICI 2c/3 reperfusion or completion of groin / arterial closure 8) Clinical history, past imaging or clinical judgment suggesting that the intracranial occlusion is chronic or there is suspected intracranial dissection such that there is a predicted lack of success with endovascular intervention 9) Estimated or known weight > 120 kg (264 lbs) 10) Pregnancy/Lactation; female, with positive urine or serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) test, or breastfeeding 11) Known prior receipt of nerinetide for any reason, including prior enrolment in this ESCAPE-NEXT trial 12) Severe known renal impairment defined as requiring renal replacement therapy (hemo- or peritoneal dialysis) 13) Severe or fatal comorbid illness that will prevent improvement or follow up 14) Inability to complete follow-up treatment to Day 90 15) Participation in another clinical trial investigating a drug, medical device, or a medical procedure in the 30 days preceding trial inclusion |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Reducing global disability in participants with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
The proportion of participants with independent functioning on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), as defined by a score of 0-2 at Day 90. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1) A reduction in mortality rate, as defined by event rate (proportion, expressed as a percentage) for mortality over the 90-day study period. 2) Proportion of participants with worsening of stroke over the 90-day study period. 3) A shift of one or more categories to reduced functional dependence analyzed across the whole distribution of outcomes on the mRS at Day 90 post randomization. 4) Proportion of participants with good neurological outcome, as defined by a score of 0-2 on the NIHSS at Day 90 post randomization. |
