Evaluating BB-031 for patients with acute ischemic stroke
Official title: A Multicenter, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled, Single Ascending Dose, Two-part, Randomized, Phase 2 Clinical Trial to Assess Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of BB-031 in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients
Run by Basking Biosciences, Inc. · NCT06226805 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new drug called BB-031 to see if it is safe and helpful for people who have had an acute ischemic stroke within the last 24 hours.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with a clinical diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke and anterior circulation intra-cranial occlusion.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with large volume ischemic strokes, prior strokes within 90 days, or those with significant bleeding risks may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to assess the safety and tolerability of the investigational drug BB-031 in patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours of symptom onset. It consists of two parts: the first part involves ascending doses of the drug to determine optimal dosing, while the second part involves a randomized comparison of selected doses against a placebo. A total of 156 participants will be followed for 90 days, with outcomes evaluated by a central blinded reviewer. The study is designed to provide insights into the drug's efficacy and safety profile in this patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to a new treatment option for patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in its specific application, similar studies evaluating treatments for acute ischemic stroke have shown varying degrees of success.
