Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to treat strokes when other treatments are not possible. The trial will be conducted at 75 centers across the United States.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18, weighing between 50-160 kg, who've had an Acute Ischemic Stroke within the last 24 hours but can't have clot-dissolving drugs or mechanical clot removal. They should have a moderate stroke severity score and be in good health before the stroke. Pregnant women and those on certain blood pressure meds are excluded.
What is being tested?
The ReMEDy2 Trial is testing DM199 (recombinant human tissue kallikrein) for safety and effectiveness in treating strokes when standard treatments aren't suitable. Participants will either receive DM199 or a placebo at random, without knowing which one they're getting.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of DM199 may include allergic reactions like angioedema or anaphylaxis, changes in blood pressure levels, and potential issues with infection management due to its mechanism of action.
