Redasemtide for Stroke
(Revive Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called redasemtide for individuals who have experienced an acute ischemic stroke, a stroke caused by a blood clot in the brain. The trial aims to determine the effectiveness and safety of redasemtide for these patients. Participants are divided into two groups: one for those unable to receive typical stroke treatments like clot-busting drugs or surgery, and another for those who can. Suitable candidates for this trial are those who can begin treatment within 25 hours of their stroke and whose condition remains stable. As a Phase 2 trial, the research focuses on assessing the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of participants.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol mentions that certain medications or therapies are prohibited for the treatment of the current stroke, but it does not specify which ones. It's best to discuss your current medications with the study team to see if any changes are needed.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research shows that redasemtide is being tested for safety in treating sudden strokes. In earlier studies, participants generally tolerated redasemtide well. Common side effects included mild headaches and dizziness. These studies have not directly linked any serious side effects to the treatment.
Redasemtide is still under investigation, so while early results appear promising, researchers continue to learn about its safety. Always consult your doctor if considering joining a trial to understand the possible risks and benefits.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for stroke?
Most treatments for stroke focus on restoring blood flow to the brain or preventing further clotting. But redasemtide works differently by potentially promoting the repair and regeneration of brain tissue. This experimental treatment is administered as an intravenous infusion over a short period of just five days during hospitalization, which is relatively quick compared to other methods. Researchers are excited about redasemtide because it represents a novel approach to stroke recovery, offering hope for improved outcomes and faster recovery for patients.
What evidence suggests that redasemtide might be an effective treatment for stroke?
Research has shown that redasemtide may help treat sudden strokes. Previous studies suggest that redasemtide can improve recovery for stroke patients. In this trial, participants will receive either Redasemtide Dose A, Redasemtide Dose B, or a placebo. The treatment involves administering the drug through an IV drip, which may aid brain healing. Early results indicate that patients who receive redasemtide might recover better than those who do not. Overall, evidence suggests that redasemtide could be an effective option for aiding stroke recovery.23467
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults who've had an ischemic stroke within the last 25 hours and are not suitable for clot removal treatments. They should have a moderate level of stroke severity, be medically stable except for their stroke, and likely to complete the study without needing hospitalization.Inclusion Criteria
