Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary efficacy of multiple ascending intravenous doses of 3K3A-APC, a Recombinant Variant of Human activated protein C (APC), in in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke following treatment with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), mechanical thrombectomy or both.
Detailed Description
This was a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blinded Phase 2 study intended to evaluate the safety, PK and preliminary efficacy of 3K3A-APC following treatment with tPA, mechanical thrombectomy or both in subjects with moderate to severe acute ischemic stroke. Approximately 115 subjects were to be randomized, which included the planned 88 subjects in groups of 4 subjects to either 3K3A-APC or placebo (in a 3:1 ratio) and the additional placebo subjects who were enrolled during safety review pauses. This study used a modified version of the continual reassessment method (CRM) in order to establish a maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Eligible subjects received 3K3A-APC or placebo every 12 hours for up to 5 doses (approximately 3 days), or until discharge from the hospital, whichever occurred first. Subjects were monitored for safety evaluations through Day 7 (or discharge, if earlier) and were expected to be seen on Day 7, 14, 30, and 90 for safety and outcome evaluations.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants With Adverse Events That Meet Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) Criteria Specified in Protocol
Time Frame: 48-hours following last dose
Specific AEs in the study were defined in the protocol to be dose-limiting toxicity events. Any given patient was adjudicated in a binary way to either have had a DLT or not to have had a DLT.

- Number of Participants With a Presence of Measurable Bleeds in the Brain (Hemorrhage and Microbleeds) as Determined by 1.5T MRI(Day 30)
- PK of 3K3A-APC by Compartmental Analysis (Clearance)(Following a single dose, on Day 1, 2 or 3: End of infusion (EOI) and 20, 40, 60 and 80 minutes following EOI)
- PK of 3K3A-APC by Compartmental Analysis (Volume of Distribution)(Following a single dose, on Day 1, 2 or 3: End of infusion (EOI) and 20, 40, 60 and 80 minutes following EOI)
- PK of 3K3A-APC by Compartmental Analysis (AUC[0-inf])(Following a single dose, on Day 1, 2 or 3: End of infusion (EOI) and 20, 40, 60 and 80 minutes following EOI)
- PK of 3K3A-APC by Compartmental Analysis (λz)(Following a single dose, on Day 1, 2 or 3: End of infusion (EOI) and 20, 40, 60 and 80 minutes following EOI)
