A Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Efficacy of B2065 in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke.

This Phase I/IIa, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of B2065, an allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cell (AD-MSC) injection, in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Participants receive a single intravenous infusion of B2065 or placebo within 36 hours of stroke symptom onset. Phase I uses dose escalation with sentinel dosing to assess dose-limiting toxicities within 28 days and to inform dose selection. Phase IIa expands 1-2 selected dose level(s) and randomizes participants 2:1 (B2065:placebo). Safety and functional outcomes are assessed through 24 months.

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of participants with dose-limiting toxicity

    Time frame: Within 28 days after dosing.

    Tolerability assessment (Phase l dose-escalation stage only). Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as Grade ≥3 adverse events related to B2065 occurring within 28 days after dosing, assessed according to CTCAE (v6.0).

  2. Infusion reactions

    Time frame: Within 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days.

    Infusion-related reactions include hypersensitivity reactions and systemic complications.

  3. All-cause mortality

    Time frame: Within 14 days,12 months, and 24 months.

  4. Tumorigenicity surveillance

    Time frame: Month 6 and month 24.

    Tumorigenicity assessments included chest and abdominal CT scans and tumor markers, including alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA199), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCA), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE). Additional tumor markers assessed in female participants included carbohydrate antigen 15-3 (CA15-3), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), serum ferritin (SF), and beta-2 microglobulin (β2-MG).

  5. Adverse events (AEs)

    Time frame: Day1 to month 24.

    Occurrence rate of AEs.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of participants with an modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2 after treatment

    Time frame: Day 28, day 90, month 6, and month 12.

    The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is used to assess functional recovery after stroke. The scale consists of 7 levels, ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death). An mRS score of 0-1 is defined as a favorable clinical outcome, and an mRS score of 0-2 is defined as functional independence. The mRS will be assessed by investigators at screening/baseline, Day 28, Day 90, Month 6, and Month 12.

  2. Proportion of participants with an modified Rankin Scale score of 0-1 after treatment

    Time frame: Day 28, day 90, month 6, and month 12.

    The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is used to assess functional recovery after stroke. The scale consists of 7 levels, ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death). An mRS score of 0-1 is defined as a favorable clinical outcome, and an mRS score of 0-2 is defined as functional independence. The mRS will be assessed by investigators at screening/baseline, Day 28, Day 90, Month 6, and Month 12.

  3. Proportion of participants with a decrease in NIH Stroke Scale score of ≥4 points from baseline or an NIHSS score ≤1 after treatment

    Time frame: 24 hours, day 3, day 7, day 14, and month 12.

    The NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) quantitatively evaluates the severity of neurological deficits in stroke patients, with scores ranging from 0 (no deficit) to 42 (most severe deficit). A decrease in NIHSS score of ≥4 points from baseline (or an NIHSS score ≤1) is defined as neurological improvement. The NIHSS will be assessed by investigators at each visit. The NIHSS score assessed within 20 minutes prior to dosing will be used as the baseline value.

  4. Change from baseline in NIH Stroke Scale score after treatment

    Time frame: 24 hours, day 3, day 7, day 14, and month 12.

    The NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) quantitatively evaluates the severity of neurological deficits in stroke patients, with scores ranging from 0 (no deficit) to 42 (most severe deficit). A decrease in NIHSS score of ≥4 points from baseline (or an NIHSS score ≤1) is defined as neurological improvement. The NIHSS will be assessed by investigators at each visit. The NIHSS score assessed within 20 minutes prior to dosing will be used as the baseline value.

  5. Proportion of participants with a Barthel Index score of 95-100 after treatment

    Time frame: Day 28, day 90, month 6, and month 12.

    The Barthel Index (BI) is used to evaluate a participant's ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL). It includes 10 items: feeding, bathing, grooming, dressing, bowel control, bladder control, toilet use, transfers (bed to chair and back), mobility, and stair climbing. Total scores range from 0 (complete dependence) to 100 (independence). A BI score of 95-100 is defined as slight or no disability.

  6. EQ-5D-5L score after treatment

    Time frame: Day 28, day 90, month 6, and month 12.

    The EQ-5D is a standardized instrument for measuring health status developed by the EuroQol Group, providing a simple and generic measure of health. The EQ-5D-5L consists of the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The descriptive system covers five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression), each with five levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems/unable to perform. The EQ VAS is a vertical visual analogue scale anchored by "the best health you can imagine" and "the worst health you can imagine." Participants will select the option that best describes their health state in each dimension and record their self-rated health on the EQ VAS.
