Conditions

Acute Ischemic Stroke

Brief summary

The primary objective of the study is to determine whether one 300 mg dose of intravenous (IV) natalizumab reduces change in infarct volume from Baseline to Day 5 on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in participants with acute ischemic stroke when given at ≤6 hours or at \>6 to ≤9 hours from when they were last known normal (LKN). The secondary objectives of this study in this study population are as follows: to assess the efficacy of natalizumab on change in infarct volume from Baseline to Day 30; to assess efficacy of natalizumab on change in infarct volume from 24 hours to Day 5 and Day 30; to assess the efficacy of natalizumab on clinical measures of stroke outcome; to assess the safety of natalizumab in participants with acute ischemic stroke.

Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Distribution at Day 5, Day 30, and Day 90Day 5, Day 30, and Day 90The mRS measures independence, rather than neurologic function, with specific tasks pre- and post-stroke, respectively. The scale consists of 7 grades, from 0 to 6, with 0 corresponding to no symptoms and 6 corresponding to death. The distribution of mRS scores was summarized at each timepoint. An excellent outcome on the mRS was defined as a score of 0 or 1, while a good outcome was defined as a score of 0, 1, or 2.
Barthel Index at Day 5, Day 30, and Day 90Day 5, Day 30, and Day 90The Barthel Index consists of 10 items that measure a person's daily functioning, specifically the activities of daily living and mobility, and can be used to determine a baseline level of functioning and to monitor change in activities of daily living over time. The scores for each of the items are summed to create a total score up to a potential of 100, with higher scores representing a greater level of independence.
Number of Participants Who Experience Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Up to Day 90 ± 5 daysAE: any untoward medical occurrence that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAE: any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; in the view of the Investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect; any other medically important event that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may jeopardize the participant or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above. Events were categorized as severe, moderate, or mild, and related or not related to study treatment.

Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Distribution at Day 5, Day 30, and Day 90

The mRS measures independence, rather than neurologic function, with specific tasks pre- and post-stroke, respectively. The scale consists of 7 grades, from 0 to 6, with 0 corresponding to no symptoms and 6 corresponding to death. The distribution of mRS scores was summarized at each timepoint. An excellent outcome on the mRS was defined as a score of 0 or 1, while a good outcome was defined as a score of 0, 1, or 2.

NatalizumabModified Rankin Scale (mRS) Distribution at Day 5, Day 30, and Day 90Day 90: Score 1; n=78, 7210 participants
Comparison: Analysis of distribution of mRS scores at Day 5. Odds ratio from a proportional-odds logistic regression model assuming a common odds ratio across all cut points of the mRS score. Covariates include baseline DWI volume (\< median vs \>= median), treatment time window, location of stroke abnormality (cortical/subcortical), and tPA use (yes/no).p-value: 0.56490% CI: [0.55, 1.45]Van Elteren's test
Comparison: Analysis of distribution of mRS scores at Day 30. Odds ratio from a proportional-odds logistic regression model assuming a common odds ratio across all cut points of the mRS score. Covariates include baseline DWI volume (\< median vs \>= median), treatment time window, location of stroke abnormality (cortical/subcortical), and tPA use (yes/no).p-value: 0.07790% CI: [0.8, 2.1]Van Elteren's test

Number of Participants Who Experience Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

AE: any untoward medical occurrence that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAE: any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; in the view of the Investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death (a life-threatening event); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect; any other medically important event that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may jeopardize the participant or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above. Events were categorized as severe, moderate, or mild, and related or not related to study treatment.

Time frame: Up to Day 90 ± 5 days

Population: Safety population (all participants who were randomized and received any portion of the infusion of study treatment).
