Who can take part
AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults under 80 who are having an acute ischemic stroke confirmed by brain imaging. They either have a clot removal procedure (EVT) or receive neither EVT nor standard clot-dissolving treatment.
- Age
- 18 to under 80 years
- Sex
- Women and men can join.
- Disease stage
- Acute ischemic stroke confirmed by brain imaging, with a visible blocked vessel and/or a lesion with ASPECTS 6-10 and target mismatch. NIHSS stroke score of 5 or more, also just before enrollment.
- Earlier treatment
- Must have been independent before the stroke (mRS 0-2). Must not have used an anticoagulant in the last 48 hours.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Bleeding inside the skull on imaging before treatment
- Clearly damaged brain area or early stroke changes with ASPECTS 5 or less
- Anticoagulant (such as DOAC or warfarin) in the last 48 hours
- Recent oral anticoagulant with INR 1.7 or higher
The registry criteria, word for word
Show all 8 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Age ≥18 and <80 years
- Functionally independent (mRS 0-2) prior to stroke onset
- Diagnosis of AIS supported by neuroimaging: a visible occlusion and/or an ischemic lesion (ASPECTS 6 - 10) with target mismatch
- Baseline NIHSS ≥5 and that remains ≥5 immediately before enrollment
- Participants who A) meet the local EVT eligibility requirements and undergo EVT or B) do not receive EVT or SOC IVT
Who cannot take part
- Intracranial hemorrhage on pre-intervention imaging
- Demarcated infarct or early ischemic changes resulting in an Alberta stroke program early CT score (ASPECTS) ≤5 on pre-intervention imaging
- Use of an anticoagulant, including but not limited to direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) or warfarin, within the last 48 hours or recent oral anticoagulant therapy with an international normalized ratio (INR) ≥1.7

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
To assess the safety and tolerability of single intravenous (IV) doses of TGD001 in participants with an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) diagnosis, supported by neuroimaging, who either 1) receive endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), or 2) do not receive EVT or standard of care (SOC) intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).
