Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Co-STAR is a multicenter, prospective, open-label, Bayesian Optimal Phase 2 (BOP2) trial that aims to assess the safety and efficacy of adjunctive intravenous TBO-309 in Acute Ischaemic Stroke (AIS) patients with tandem occlusion receiving intra-cranial endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) and acute extracranial carotid artery stenting.

Co-STARS study will test the hypothesis that patients with tandem occlusion treated with EVT and acute stenting in conjunction with TBO-309 will:

* have persistent stent patency without requiring rescue therapy with GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors and
* not experience high rates of symptomatic intra-cranial haemorrhage (sICH).

Patients with tandem occlusion undergoing EVT and acute stenting will receive intravenous TBO-309 bolus and infusion. TBO-309 is a potent, selective and ATP competitive PI3K\[beta\] inhibitor which reduces platelet activation adhesion/aggregation particularly under conditions of disturbed blood flow and promotes platelet disaggregation. By targeting PI3K\[beta\], TBO-309 specifically inhibits thrombosis whilst minimizing the impact on normal hemostasis.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) typically causes large infarcts and results in severe disability and a high case fatality rate. Treating LVO by thrombectomy poses technical challenges, especially when the lesion involves not only the extracranial (cervical) part of the internal carotid artery but also its concomitant intracranial distal segment or the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery (tandem occlusion). For patients with tandem occlusion, stenting of the internal carotid is considered acceptable, but it requires the use of antiplatelet therapy to avoid stent thrombosis, often necessitating rescue therapy with GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors. This can lead to an increased risk of hemorrhage especially when potent antiplatelet agents such as GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors are used.

The novel investigational agent TBO-309 is a potent, selective and ATP competitive PI3K\[beta\] inhibitor which reduces platelet activation adhesion/aggregation particularly under conditions of disturbed blood flow and promotes platelet disaggregation. By targeting PI3K\[beta\], TBO-309 specifically inhibits thrombosis whilst minimizing the impact on normal hemostasis. This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of adjunctive TBO-309 in acute ischaemic stroke with tandem occlusion eligible to undergo intra-cranial EVT and acute extracranial carotid artery stenting.

The primary endpoint of this trial is a composite outcome of efficacy and safety, defined by:

1. Avoidance of intra-procedural GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor rescue therapy due to stent thrombosis, combined with persistent stent patency seen on angiographic imaging at 24-36 hours, and
2. no sICH.

This trial will use Bayesian Optimal Phase 2 (BOP2) trial design, and two intervention doses will be tested sequentially for TBO-309. TBO-309 at the dose of 60 mg will be tested first. Then either a higher dose of 120 mg or a lower dose of 30 mg will be tested based on the results of the 60 mg dose.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

Multicenter, prospective, open-label, Bayesian Optimal Phase 2 (BOP2) trial.

Two intervention doses will be tested sequentially for TBO-309, with 60mg tested first. Then either a higher (120mg) or lower (30mg) dose will be tested, based on results of the 60 mg dose.

The maximum number of subjects is estimated to be 78 in this two-dose BOP2 design study.

Masking Description:

Independent imaging assessors will review and adjudicate blinded study data to ensure the primary endpoint meets consistent pre-determined diagnostic criteria.

Imaging assessors will be qualified physicians who are independent of the study and not involved in study management.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

TBO-309 - 60 mg

An intravenous (IV) bolus of TBO-309 will be administered before the acute stent procedure. The allocated dose of TBO-309 will be given IV as follows:

20% of the dose will be administered as a bolus over approximately one minute; then the remainder of the dose (80%) will be administered over 3 hours as an infusion.
