Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Amount of midline shift (MLS) at 72 hours from Last Known Well (LKW) [72 Hours from Last Known Well]

    Midline shift will be measured in millimeter on non-contrast computer tomography (NCCT)

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants with modified Rankin Scale-Structured Interview (mRS-SI) score </= 4 vs. >4 [At Day 90]

  2. Amount (in millimeters) of MLS [At 48 hours and 96-120 hours from LKW]

    MLS will be measured in millimeter on NCCT

  3. Percentage of Participants with Surgical DHC Performed [From Baseline up to Day 90]

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Received Hyperosmolar therapy following initiation of study treatment [From Baseline up to Day 90]

  5. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) Score [From Baseline up to Day 4]

  6. National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score [At Day 4 and Day 90]

  7. Mortality [At Day 30]

    Mortality in the first 30 days after the enrollment

  8. mRS-SI score [At Day 30]

  9. Functional Independence Measure (FIM) score [At Hospital Discharge or Day 10 and Day 90]

  10. Stroke Impact Scale-16 (SIS-16) score [At Day 30 and Day 90]

  11. Length (in days) of ICU and Hospital Stay [From Baseline to Day 90]

  12. Number of participants with adverse events and severity of adverse events [From Baseline to Day 90]

    Severity will be determined according to the NCI CTCAE v5.0

  13. Plasma concentrations of balovaptan at specified timepoints [From Baseline to 120 Hours After the End of the Last Infusion (or at discharge)]

  14. Area under the concentration-time curve from Time 0 to 24 hours after a given dose (AUC24hr) [From Baseline to 120 Hours After the End of the Last Infusion (or at discharge)]]

    As calculated by NCA from measured concentration

  15. Maximum observed concentration (Cmax) [From Baseline to 120 Hours After the End of the Last Infusion (or at discharge)]]

    As calculated by NCA or taken directly from measured concentration

  16. Plasma drug concentration 24hours after the administration of a given dose (C24hr) [From Baseline to 120 Hours After the End of the Last Infusion (or at discharge)]]

    As calculated by NCA or taken directly from measured concentration

  17. Number of participants with safety findings on brain imaging [From Baseline to Day 90]

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years to 80 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion Criteria:
  • Diagnosis of LVO in the anterior circulation such that study drug administration can be initiated within 12 hours of LKW and at risk of MCE development, as defined as follows:
