Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults who have had an acute ischemic stroke and will receive specific treatments to restore blood flow to the brain. Participants will also take TBO-309, an additional medication that may help improve recovery.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I am at least 18 years old
I have been diagnosed with an acute ischemic stroke
I will be treated with intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular thrombectomy
I presented within 6 hours of stroke onset or meet certain imaging criteria
I have at least mild neurological impairment
My pre-stroke disability level was less than moderate
You may not be able to join if
I have advanced dementia
I have severe pre-stroke disability
My Glasgow Coma Score is between 3 and 5
I have had a large ischemic lesion in my brain
I have uncontrolled high blood pressure
I had a brain hemorrhage in the last 90 days
I have a serious medical condition that may limit my life expectancy to less than 90 days
I am currently pregnant or think I might be

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.
