E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Primary Objective: • To show the efficacy of glenzocimab vs. placebo, on at least one of the 2 dual endpoints, i.e. the ordinal modified Rankin Scale (mRS) assessed at Day 90 or the binary poor outcome defined as a mRS score of 4-6 assessed at Day 90, either in the overall population (denoted as OP) or in the subgroup of patients who received Mechanical Thrombectomy (denoted as MT+).

|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Key Secondary Objectives: • To show the efficacy of glenzocimab vs. placebo on the all-cause mortality at day-90 either in the OP or in the subgroup of patients who received MT+. Other Secondary Objectives: Efficacy: • To assess the favorable responses defined as mRS score of 0-1 •To assess the good responses defined as mRS score 0-2 •To assess the utility weighted mRS (UW-mRS) •To assess the evolution of the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score •To assess recanalization in patients undergoing thrombectomy •To assess cerebral tissue reperfusion •To assess the impact on follow up imaging (follow up infarct volume, infarct growth and volume of hemorrhagic transformation) Safety: •To assess the number of the following events: o Symptomatic and non-symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages, o Deaths, o Serious adverse events (SAEs), 3 more are in the Protocol Synopsis |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Adult male or female patients ≥ 18 years (i.e., at least 18 years old at time of randomization). 2. Having given their own written consent 3. Presenting with an acute disabling ischemic stroke either in the anterior or in posterior circulation, with or without visible occlusion, with a known time of onset, that is ≤ 4.5 hrs 4. Presenting with a pre-IVT NIHSS ≥ 4 5. In whom thrombolysis with rt-PA is or has been initiated, whether or not patients are additionally eligible to mechanical thrombectomy (MT + alteplase). 6. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum/urine pregnancy test at baseline. Women of childbearing potential, i.e, fertile, are defined as women following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile, i.e, having undergone hysterectomy, bilateral sal pingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. 7. Post-menopausal women defined as not having menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. For WOCBP, a highly effective birth control method should be in place that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year that should last for at least 2 months after IMP administration. Birth control methods which may be considered as highly effective in WOCBP include: - combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (intravaginal, transdermal), - progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (injectable, implantable) - intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), - bilateral tubal occlusion, - vasectomized partner, Birth control methods which may be considered as highly effective for men and that should last for 4 months after IMP administration include: - vasectomy, - use of condom combined with a highly effective birth control method for their WOCBP partner. Please note that hormonal contraception is a risk factor for thromboembolic events and attention should be called to reconsider it passed the acute stroke phase.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Coma, or NIHSS >25 2. Patients < 18 years 3. Patients unable to consent 4. Protected adults under guardianship or curatorship 5. Prior ischemic stroke within the past 3 months 6. mRS pre-stroke known to be ≥ 2 7. Large (more than 1/3 of the middle cerebral artery) regions of clear hypodensity on Baseline Computed Tomography or Angiography (CTA) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or with vascular injection (MRA). 8. Significant mass effect with midline shift 9. Stroke of hemorrhagic origin 10. Patients likely to require dual antiplatelet therapy (DART) within the first 24 hrs after cessation of glenzocimab or placebo infusion for e.g., carotid stenting 11. Known renal insufficiency (Grades 4-5 – severe or terminal) 12. Known allergic reaction to contrast agents 13. Patients under anti-coagulant therapy, except preventative dose of injectable low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). 14.Known ongoing treatment with a mAb. 15. Prior cardiopulmonary resuscitation < 10 days. 16. Childbirth within < 10 days. 17. Seizures at stroke onset if it precludes obtaining an accurate baseline (pre-IVT)NIHSS, Epileptic seizure at symptom onset. 18. Life expectancy (except for stroke) < 3 months. 19. Pregnancy or breastfeeding. 20. Females of childbearing potential not using effective birth control methods. 21. Known current participation in another clinical investigation with experimental drug.
