Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Stroke Recovery
Day 90

Stroke recovery as defined by participants with excellent functional outcomes at Day 90 as assessed via the Modified Rankin Score (mRS \[dichotomized\]), mRS scores of 0 or 1 represent responders, scale range of 0-6. The mRS (Modified Rankin Scale) is a single-item, clinician-reported measure of functional disability in participants with AIS. Scores range in grade from 0 (no symptoms at all) to 6 (participant death).

Frequently asked questions about Recombinant human tissue kallikrein

What is Recombinant human tissue kallikrein used for?

Recombinant human tissue kallikrein is an investigational drug being developed for acute ischemic stroke and acute stroke. It is a small molecule exogenous protein being studied in patients who have experienced a stroke, with clinical trials evaluating its safety and tolerability in this patient population.

What does Recombinant human tissue kallikrein target?

Recombinant human tissue kallikrein targets the F9 gene product, which is factor IX, a protein involved in blood coagulation. As an exogenous protein, it is administered to modulate this target in the context of acute ischemic stroke treatment.

Who makes Recombinant human tissue kallikrein?

DiaMedica Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: DMAC) is developing Recombinant human tissue kallikrein. The company is conducting clinical trials of this drug candidate for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke and other stroke-related conditions.

What phase is Recombinant human tissue kallikrein in?

Recombinant human tissue kallikrein is currently in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug that has not been approved by regulatory authorities, and it remains under evaluation in clinical trials for acute ischemic stroke.

What clinical trials is Recombinant human tissue kallikrein in?

Recombinant human tissue kallikrein has been studied in three clinical trials: NCT02868996, a Phase 1b ascending dose study in healthy volunteers with stroke; NCT03290560, a Phase 2 safety and tolerability study in acute ischemic stroke patients; and NCT05065216, the Phase 2 ReMEDy2 trial currently recruiting patients with acute stroke.

Is Recombinant human tissue kallikrein the same as DM199?

Yes, Recombinant human tissue kallikrein is also known as DM199. Clinical trials such as NCT02868996 and NCT03290560 refer to the drug as DM199, and the ongoing ReMEDy2 trial (NCT05065216) evaluates this same drug candidate for acute ischemic stroke.
