Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

This is a prospective, multicentric, randomized, double-blind, parallel, Phase III efficacy study of PMZ-1620 therapy along with standard treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke. A minimum of 132 patients (66 in each treatment arm) are to be evaluated as per the protocol, considering a discontinuation rate of about 20 %, a total of 158 patients (79 in each treatment arm) will be enrolled in the study. The enrolment period of the study will be approximately 15 months and the total duration of the study will be approximately 18 months. For an individual patient, the duration of the study will be 3 months (90 days), including 5 study visits: visit 1/Day 1 (screening/baseline/treatment visit), visit 2 (Day 12 + 2), visit 3 (Day 30 + 5), visit 4/telephonic visit (Day 60 ± 7), and visit 5/End of Study (Day 90 ± 7). At visit 1, a total of 158 patients will be randomized 1:1 into 2 treatment groups after meeting the eligibility criteria:

Group 1: PMZ-1620 + Standard treatment

Group 2: Normal Saline (Dose: Equal volume) + Standard treatment

PMZ-1620 or Normal Saline will be administered as an intravenous (IV) bolus over one minute within the window of 24 hours after the onset of stroke. In the PMZ group, three doses of PMZ-1620 (each dose of 0.3 μg/kg body weight) will be administered as an IV bolus over one minute at an interval of 3 hours ± 1 hour on day 1, day 3, and day 6 (total dose/day: 0.9 µg/kg body weight). In the control group, three doses of an equal volume of normal saline will be administered as an IV bolus over one minute at an interval of 3 hours ± 1 hour on day 1, day 3, and day 6 post-randomization. In both treatment groups, patients will be provided the standard treatment for stroke. Standard treatment to be provided to the patients shall be the one used in the particular hospital setup. Each patient will be monitored closely throughout his/her hospitalization for the qualifying stroke and will be followed for 3 months from randomization. Each patient will be assessed for efficacy parameters over 3 months from randomization.
