This study is a Phase 3, randomized, multicentre, blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel group, single-dose with a single interim analysis. Because AIS (acute ischemic stroke) is a medical emergency, the trial is designed to enable the administration of standard-of-care treatments without delay in order to save the life of the person concerned, restore good health or alleviate suffering.~Participants harboring an acute ischemic stroke who are selected for endovascular revascularization without intravenous or intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy will be given a single, 2.6 mg/kg (up to a maximum dose of 270 mg) intravenous dose of nerinetide or placebo. Outcomes of the main trial will be evaluated throughout a 90 day observation period.~Participants will be followed at 1-Year for the analytic sub-trial for further outcome assessment by telemedicine or telephone interview conducted by individuals blinded to the outcome of the main trial. This sub-trial will be conducted to explore the independent functioning and quality of life at 1-Year.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if a single dose of nerinetide can reduce global disability in people who have had a stroke and are selected for endovascular therapy without the use of a tissue plasminogen activator (alteplase, tenecteplase, or equivalent).
