Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Adult males or females aged 18 – 80 years of age\n- Consent obtained per national laws and regulations, and in accordance with the applicable ethics committee requirements prior to study procedures\n- A stroke is ischemic in origin that is diagnosed clinically and/or radiologically confirmed by Computed Tomography (CT) scan or diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prior to enrolment. No hemorrhage as proved by cerebral CT/MRI scan.\n- Cerebral ischemic stroke patients presenting within 24 hours after the onset of symptoms with NIHSS score of ≥8 and <20, NIHSS Level of Consciousness (1A) score <2 at the time of screening. This includes cerebral ischemic stroke patients who completely recovered from earlier episodes before having a new or fresh stroke having a pre-stroke historical measure of mRS score of 0-2.\n- The patient is <24 hours from the time of stroke onset when the first dose of sovateltide is administered. Time of onset is when symptoms began; for stroke that occurred during sleep, time of onset is when the patient was last seen or was self- reported to be normal\n- Reasonable expectation of availability to receive the full sovateltide/placebo course of therapy and to be available for subsequent follow-up visits"}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Patients receiving endovascular therapy or is a candidate for any surgical intervention for the treatment of stroke, which may include but not limited to endovascular techniques.\n- Patients classified as comatose are defined as a patient who requires repeated stimulation to attend or is obtunded and requires strong or painful stimulation to make movements (NIHSS Level of Consciousness (1A) score ≥2)\n- Evidence of intracranial hemorrhage (intracerebral hematoma, intraventricular hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), epidural hemorrhage, acute or chronic subdural hematoma (SDH) on the baseline CT or MRI scan\n- Known pregnancy and lactating women\n- Known medical history of neurological (other than current acute ischemic stroke) or psychiatric condition that, in the investigator’s opinion, would confound the neurological and functional evaluations, lead to further deterioration of neurological status, or interfere with participation in this study\n- Concurrent participation in any other therapeutic clinical trial\n- Evidence of any other major life-threatening or serious medical condition that would prevent completion of the study protocol impair the assessment of outcome, or in which sovateltide therapy would be contraindicated or might cause harm to the patient"}
