ALT001 in Patients With Ischemic Stroke in the Sequelae Stage
A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicentre, Phase II Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of ALT001 in Patients With Ischemic Stroke in the Sequelae Stage
This is a phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ALT001 in patients with ischemic stroke in the sequelae stage (≥180 days and ≤5 years after the most recent event). A total of 200 participants will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive ALT001 at 65 μg/day, 130 μg/day, or 260 μg/day, or matching placebo, by intravenous infusion once daily (over ~60 minutes) using a 14-day-on / 14-day-off cycle for 3 cycles (12 weeks) in the double-blind (DB) period, followed by an optional open-label extension (OLE) period of 3 additional cycles. The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) motor score at Week 12.

Descripción detallada
Ischemic stroke (IS) is the most common type of stroke, yet for patients with persistent neurological deficits beyond 6 months (sequelae stage) there is no widely accepted effective therapy. ALT001 is an allogeneic unrelated human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived protein complex intended to promote neurological repair. This phase II study enrolls adults (18-80 years) with unilateral limb weakness (FMA motor score ≤90) and modified Ashworth spasticity ≤2, at least 180 days but no more than 5 years after the most recent ischemic stroke. Participants are randomized to one of three ALT001 dose groups (65, 130, or 260 μg/day) or matching placebo. Study drug is reconstituted in 100 mL normal saline and given by IV infusion once daily over ~60 minutes, 14 days on / 14 days off per cycle, for 3 cycles in the DB period. Eligible participants may then enter a 3-cycle OLE period (placebo group re-randomized to an active dose). Efficacy is assessed by FMA (primary, Week 12), mRS, NIHSS, Barthel Index, and modified Ashworth scale; safety by AE/SAE monitoring; exploratory outcomes include new vascular events and immunologic/cytokine changes.

Change from baseline in modified Rankin Scale (mRS) distribution / proportion of patients by mRS grade
Periodo de tiempo: Weeks 4, 8, and 12
|
The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is a global outcome measure of disability and functional independence after stroke, graded on an ordinal scale from 0 to 6: 0 = no symptoms, 1 = no clinically significant disability, 2 = slight disability, 3 = moderate disability (requires some help), 4 = moderately severe disability (unable to walk unassisted), 5 = severe disability (bedridden, requiring constant care), and 6 = death. The mRS score range is 0 to 6; higher scores indicate worse outcome (greater disability). The proportion of patients in each mRS grade and the shift in mRS distribution from baseline will be summarized at Weeks 4, 8, and 12. |

Change from baseline in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score
Periodo de tiempo: Weeks 4, 8, and 12
|
Difference in NIHSS score from baseline to Weeks 4, 8, and 12 of the double-blind treatment period. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is an ordinal scale used to quantify neurological impairment in stroke patients, assessing 11 domains including level of consciousness, gaze, visual fields, facial palsy, motor function of the arms and legs, limb ataxia, sensory loss, language (aphasia), dysarthria, and inattention (extinction/inattention). The NIHSS score range is 0 to 42, with lower scores indicating less severe neurological impairment. Higher scores indicate worse outcome (more severe neurological deficit). |

Periodo de tiempo: Weeks 4, 8, and 12
|
Difference in Barthel Index (BI) score from baseline to Weeks 4, 8, and 12 of the double-blind treatment period. The Barthel Index (BI) is an ordinal scale that measures functional independence in activities of daily living (ADL), assessing 10 items: feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, bowel control, bladder control, toilet use, transfers, mobility, and stairs. Each activity is scored on a 5-level scale, with level 1 being the lowest and level 5 the highest. A higher level indicates a greater degree of independence. The BI score range is 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better outcome (greater independence in daily living). |

|
Change from baseline in the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) score
Periodo de tiempo: Weeks 4, 8, and 12
|
The Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) is used to assess muscle tone and degree of spasticity during passive movement of skeletal muscles; the investigator performs passive stretching of the target muscle group and grades the increase in tone and resistance to passive movement. Scoring ranges from grade 0 to grade 4, with grade 1+ indicating a slight increase in tone with resistance intermediate between grade 1 and grade 2 (numeric range 0 to 4). Higher scores indicate worse outcome (more severe spasticity). In this study, six movements are assessed separately: upper limb - elbow flexion, wrist flexion, forearm pronation; lower limb - knee extension, knee flexion, ankle plantar flexion. Assessed once per cycle during the 3-cycle OLE period. |
