Safety and Tolerability of Adjunctive TBO-309 in Reperfusion for Stroke
Australia80 participantsStarted 2023-09-27
Plain-language summary
STARS is a prospective, multicentre, open-label, dose escalation, Phase IIa study to assess the safety and tolerability of TBO-309, an adjuvant antiplatelet therapy, in patients with AIS.
Acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is caused by a severe blockage of an artery leading to immediate reduced blood flow to part of the brain. Standard therapies target the blocked artery by either dissolving the blockage or removing the blockage. However, even after successful treatment, re-blockage of arteries can occur. The use of an antiplatelet therapy, TBO-309, in addition to standard therapies offers the possibility of improved restoration of blood flow and reduced rates of artery re-blockage.

. Patient has an acute ischaemic stroke
. Patient will be treated with either:
. Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with alteplase or tenecteplase for a diagnosis of AIS that is confirmed by CT imaging;
. Endovascular Thrombectomy (EVT) for large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery (M1 segment), middle cerebral artery (M2 segment) or with tandem occlusion of both the cervical carotid and intracranial large arteries who either:

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
