Safety and Tolerability of Adjunctive TBO-309 in Reperfusion for Stroke

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 1 Dec 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

STARS is a prospective, multicentre, open-label, dose escalation, Phase IIa study to assess the safety and tolerability of TBO-309, an adjuvant antiplatelet therapy, in patients with AIS. Acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is caused by a severe blockage of an artery leading to immediate reduced blood flow to part of the brain. Standard therapies target the blocked artery by either dissolving the blockage or removing the blockage. However, even after successful treatment, re-blockage of arteries can occur. The use of an antiplatelet therapy, TBO-309, in addition to standard therapies offers the possibility of improved restoration of blood flow and reduced rates of artery re-blockage.

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Known treatment with dual antiplatelet therapy or anticoagulant medication
  • Informed consent unable to be obtained from the patient or their Person Responsible/Medical Treatment Decision Maker prior to study interventions
  • Study drug cannot be given within one hour of thrombolytic drug bolus

Other illness

  • Patient is considered unlikely to benefit from study intervention defined by one of the following:
    • Advanced dementia
    • Severe pre-stroke disability (mRS score 4-5)
    • Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) 3 to 5
    • Evidence of a large well-defined ischaemic lesion measuring more than one third of the MCA territory
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (SBP \>180 or DBP \>110, refractory to medical therapy)
  • Myocardial infarction or stroke within the last 30 days
  • Patient has an underlying disease process with a life expectancy of \<90 days
  • Contraindication to thrombolysis i.e. increased bleeding risk
  • Contraindication to intravenous contrast agents including renal impairment or allergy
  • Known severe liver disease
  • Known bleeding disorder
  • Another medical illness or social circumstance that may interfere with outcome assessments and follow-up

Other

  • High likelihood of undergoing stent insertion and requiring additional antithrombotic(s)
  • ICH within the last 90 days
  • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or arterial puncture at non-compressible site or lumbar puncture within 7 days
  • Known or suspected pregnancy
  • Patients currently participating in another interventional clinical trial

Who the study is looking for

  • Patient aged 18 years or more
  • Patient has an acute ischaemic stroke
  • Patient will be treated with either:
    • Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with alteplase or tenecteplase for a diagnosis of AIS that is confirmed by CT imaging;
    • alone/OR WITH
    • Endovascular Thrombectomy (EVT) for large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery (M1 segment), middle cerebral artery (M2 segment) or with tandem occlusion of both the cervical carotid and intracranial large arteries who either:
    • presented within 6 hours of stroke onset
    • OR
    • presented between 6-24 hours after they were last known to be well and clinical observations and either CT perfusion or MRI features indicate the presence of salvageable brain tissue, defined as ischaemic core \<70mL with a mismatch ratio \>1.8 and absolute mismatch \>15mL.
  • Patient has at least a mild grade of neurological impairment i.e. NIHSS of 5 or more
  • Patient has an estimated pre-stroke mRS of less than 4
