CHARM Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether a drug called BIIB093 improves functional outcome for people with Large Hemispheric Infarction (LHI) compared to placebo. The trial has two parts. The first part is to determine if the drug improves functional outcome at Day 90 and overall survival at Day 90. The second part is to evaluate long-term disability following LHI, to evaluate long-term outcome measures of clinical function, quality of life, and healthcare utilization, and to assess the safety of BIIB093 in subjects with LHI during the follow-up period.

Eligible Conditions
  • Brain Swelling
  • Stroke
