Efficacy and Safety of QD202 in Participants With Acute Ischemic Stroke Undergoing Thrombolysis Excluding Endovascular Thrombectomy

May 6, 2026 updated by: Shanghai QuietD Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

A Multicentre, Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled Phase II Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Pharmacokinetic Profile, and Efficacy of QD202 Injection in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Undergoing Thrombolysis

This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study investigating the safety and efficacy of QD202 injection in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing thrombolysis excluding endovascular thrombectomy. Up to 120 male and female patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing thrombolysis excluding endovascular thrombectomy will be dosed with QD202 injection or placebo as a 60 minute intravenous infusion after completion of the thrombolysis procedure on Day 1-5 of the study period. Subjects will undergo interim procedures at Day 7 or the day of discharge, Day 30, and end-of-study procedures on Day 90.

  • 3. Time from stroke onset ≤ 24 hours (Onset time is calculated from the time stroke symptoms appear. If the stroke occurred during sleep or if the time of symptom onset cannot be accurately determined due to aphasia, impaired consciousness, or other reasons, the time the subject was last known to be normal should be used as the onset time);
  • 4. Pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≤ 1;
  • 5. After this event and prior to thrombolysis, NIHSS score is between 6 and 20 (inclusive), and the sum of scores on NIHSS Item 5 (motor arm) and Item 6 (motor leg) is ≥ 2;

  • 12. Concurrent malignancy diagnosed previously and currently undergoing anti-tumor therapy.
  • 13. History of severe systemic disease with an estimated life expectancy of <90 days.
  • 14. Diagnosed with severe active liver disease (e.g., acute hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >2.0 times the upper limit of normal (ULN).
  • 15. Diagnosed with severe active kidney disease, renal insufficiency, or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m².
