  • 4. Patient is 24-48 hours from time of stroke onset when the first dose of NTx®-265 therapy is administered. Time of onset is when symptoms began; for stroke that occurred during sleep, time of onset is when patient was last seen or was self-reported to be normal.
  • 5. Reasonable expectation of availability to receive the full 9 day NTx®-265 course of therapy, and to be available for subsequent follow-up visits.
  • 6. Reasonable expectation that patient will receive standard post-stroke physical, occupational, speech, and cognitive therapy as indicated.
  • 7. Female patient is either :
  • a. not of childbearing potential, defined as postmenopausal for at least 1 year or surgically sterile (bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy) or,

  • ? a vasectomized partner
  • ? abstinence

  • 11. Patients with known and documented elevated PSA levels
  • 12. Patients with a known history of hypercoagulability, including known cardiolipin / antiphospholipid antibody syndrome

  • 17. Uncontrolled hypertension, defined in the context of acute stroke as blood pressure persistently above 220 mm Hg systolic or 120 mm Hg diastolic despite antihypertensive therapy
  • 18. Use of either hCG or epoetin alfa within the previous 90 days
  • 19. Any condition known to elevate hCG, active in the prior 24 months, e.g., choriocarcinoma or germ cell tumor
