Further study details as provided by Vernalis (R&D) Ltd:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To establish the safety of five dose levels (1.0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mg/kg)of V10153 in patients with acute ischaemic stroke. [ Time Frame: Ongoing ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To compare recanalisation rates across dose levels. [ Time Frame: Ongoing ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To compare clinical outcome between treatments by NIHSS, Modified Rankin Scale and Barthel Index. [ Time Frame: Post-study completion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 49

Study Completion Date: March 2009
Primary Completion Date: November 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Drug: V10153
    Single acute intravenous bolus dose up to 10 mg/kg
    Other Names:
    • Code Names: V10153, BB-10153
    • CAS Registry Number: 931101-84-7

Detailed Description:

An open label, dose escalation study where patients with acute ischaemic stroke will receive a single intravenous dose of study drug. There will be five dose levels with groups of 10 patients in each. Escalation to higher doses will occur following review of safety data from the previous dose.
