Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PF-03049423 following multiple dose administration to subjects with ischemic stroke. The study will also evaluate the efficacy of PF-03049423, relative to placebo, in subjects with ischemic stroke following 90 days of therapy. The study will also explore the relationship between PF-03049423 concentration and blood pressure.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Any Abnormal Laboratory Test Results (Part 1* and 2)

    The total number of participants with laboratory test abnormalities (without regard to baseline abnormality) was assessed. \*This endpoint was a primary endpoint for Part 1 (timeframe Days 1 to 14), as data for this timeframe were not reported separately, Part 1 and 2 data were reported together.

    Time frame: Day 1 (Baseline) up to Day 90

  2. Number of Participants With Vital Signs Data Met Criteria of Potential Clinical Concern (Part 1* and 2)

    Vital signs included blood pressure (BP; supine, sitting and standing) and pulse rate.

    Time frame: Day 1 (Baseline) to Day 90

  4. Number of Participants With Significant Change in Physical Examination Findings (Part 1* and 2)

    The complete physical examination included examination of the skin, eyes, ears, throat, neck, cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal systems.

    The complete neurological examination included an assessment of the motor, sensory, cranial nerves, reflexes, mental status and associated motor functions. The limited neurological exam could examine the same categories of neurologic assessments as the full examination, but would differ by the depth in the examination. The examination was required to be done to the extent needed to assess the participant for any potential changes in neurological status, as determined by the Investigator, but had to always include an assessment of motor, vision and hearing. \*This endpoint was a primary endpoint for Part 1 (timeframe Days 1 to 14), as data for this timeframe were not reported separately, Part 1 and 2 data were reported together.

    Time frame: Day 90

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Box and Blocks (B&B) Test at Day 90 for Paretic Hand (Part 2)

    The B\&B test is a measure of manual dexterity. The B\&B apparatus consists of a box divided into 2 sections and 1-inch hardwood blocks. The blocks began in the compartment of the test box to the dominant side of the participant. The participant was required to transfer the blocks one at a time to the other side of the box as quickly as possible in 1 minute using the non-paretic hand. The box was then turned so all the blocks were in the same side as the paretic hand. The participant was then required to do the test with his/her paretic hand. The participant was told that if more than 1 block was picked up at a time it was to only count as 1 block. The participant was also told that their fingertips needed to cross the partition for the block to be counted. The performance measure for this task was the number of blocks moved within 1 minute.

  14. Domains of Interest: Change From Baseline in Recognition Memory Test at Day 90 (Part 2)

    This test assesses the ability to recognize pictures of objects. The participant was presented a series of pictures, a subset of which were the objects presented in the RBANS Naming Sub Test. After each picture was presented, the participant indicated either manually (ie, affirmative head nod) or verbally whether the picture was seen previously. The participant was given 5 seconds per picture to respond. The performance measure for this task was the total number of pictures correctly identified.

    Time frame: Day 1 (Baseline), Day 90

  15. Gait Velocity Test at Day 90 (Part 2)

    The 10-meter walk test requires a 20 meter straight path, with 5 meters for acceleration, 10 meters for steady state walking, and 5 meters for deceleration. Markers were placed at the 5 and 15 meter positions along the path. The participant began to walk "at a comfortable pace" at 1 end of the path, and continued walking until he/she reached the other end. The rater used a stopwatch to determine how much time it took for the participant to traverse the 10 meter center of the path, starting the stopwatch as soon as the participant's limb crossed the first marker and stopping the stopwatch as soon as the participant's limb crossed the second marker.

The complete physical examination included examination of the skin, eyes, ears, throat, neck, cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal systems. The limited physical examination included examination of the cardiac, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal systems. \*This endpoint was a primary endpoint for Part 1 (timeframe Days 1 to 14), as data for this timeframe were not reported separately, Part 1 and 2 data were reported together.

The complete neurological examination included an assessment of the motor, sensory, cranial nerves, reflexes, mental status and associated motor functions. The limited neurological exam could examine the same categories of neurologic assessments as the full examination, but would differ by the depth in the examination. The examination was required to be done to the extent needed to assess the participant for any potential changes in neurological status, as determined by the Investigator, but had to always include an assessment of motor, vision and hearing. \*This endpoint was a primary endpoint for Part 1 (timeframe Days 1 to 14), as data for this timeframe were not reported separately, Part 1 and 2 data were reported together.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Box and Blocks (B&B) Test at Day 90 for Paretic Hand (Part 2)

The B\&B test is a measure of manual dexterity. The B\&B apparatus consists of a box divided into 2 sections and 1-inch hardwood blocks. The blocks began in the compartment of the test box to the dominant side of the participant. The participant was required to transfer the blocks one at a time to the other side of the box as quickly as possible in 1 minute using the non-paretic hand. The box was then turned so all the blocks were in the same side as the paretic hand. The participant was then required to do the test with his/her paretic hand. The participant was told that if more than 1 block was picked up at a time it was to only count as 1 block. The participant was also told that their fingertips needed to cross the partition for the block to be counted. The performance measure for this task was the number of blocks moved within 1 minute.

The 10-meter walk test requires a 20 meter straight path, with 5 meters for acceleration, 10 meters for steady state walking, and 5 meters for deceleration. Markers were placed at the 5 and 15 meter positions along the path. The participant began to walk "at a comfortable pace" at 1 end of the path, and continued walking until he/she reached the other end. The rater used a stopwatch to determine how much time it took for the participant to traverse the 10 meter center of the path, starting the stopwatch as soon as the participant's limb crossed the first marker and stopping the stopwatch as soon as the participant's limb crossed the second marker.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Box and Blocks (B&B) Test at Day 90 for Non-paretic Hand (Part 2)

The B\&B test is a measure of manual dexterity. The B\&B apparatus consists of a box divided into 2 sections and 1-inch hardwood blocks. The blocks began in the compartment of the test box to the dominant side of the participant. The participant was required to transfer the blocks one at a time to the other side of the box as quickly as possible in 1 minute using the non-paretic hand. The box was then turned so all the blocks were in the same side as the paretic hand. The participant was then required to do the test with his/her paretic hand. The participant was told that if more than 1 block was picked up at a time it was to only count as 1 block. The participant was also told that their fingertips needed to cross the partition for the block to be counted. The performance measure for this task was the number of blocks moved within 1 minute.
