About
The HEMERA-1 Extension (Part III) is a prospective, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate safety of two doses of PP-007 in Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) subjects receiving Intravenous Thrombolysis (IVT) or mechanical thrombectomy (MT) or IVT+MT as standard of care (SOC). Subjects will receive two doses of PP-007 infusion 24 ± 6 hours apart in addition to the site-specific SOC protocol. PP-007 is PEGylated bovine carboxyhemoglobin and will be administered via IV infusion. The effects on collateral flow, infarct size and functional outcomes will be evaluated.
Full description
Part III of the HEMERA study evaluates safety after extended drug exposure of PP-007 in subjects with AIS. Subjects would receive two PP-007 doses administered 24±6 hours apart, in addition to the site's SOC protocol of IVT or MT or IVT+MT. PP-007 is PEGylated bovine carboxyhemoglobin and will be administered via IV infusion. The effects on collateral flow, infarct size and functional outcomes (NIHSS and mRS) will also be evaluated. Other measures include assessment of plasma concentration of PP-007.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Subject or subject's LAR has provided informed consent.
≥18 years of age.
If the patient were to receive MT, patient must have a history of last seen well ≤ 24 hours prior to start of MT
If the patient were to receive IVT, patient must have a history of last seen well ≤ 4.5 hours prior to start of IVT or as per Institution SOC Note: Onset is defined as the time point when symptoms first began, or if unknown, the last time point when the subject reported or was observed having normal (baseline) neurological function.
AIS patient with ASPECTS ≥ 3 to 10
AIS patient with life expectancy of 90 days, as determined by the investigator
Patient with disabling stroke defined as baseline NIHSS ≥ 6 prior to IP administration
mRS ≤ 2 (pre-morbid), prior to onset of symptoms (self-reported or family/caregiver reported)
At the time of stroke, patient must be living in their own home, apartment or seniors lodge where no nursing care/support is required
Subject and caregiver are available for protocol-required follow-up visits
Contraception and pregnancy:
i. Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (i.e., oral, intravaginal, or transdermal).
ii. Progesterone-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (i.e., oral, injectable, or implantable).
iii. Intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone-releasing system, or bilateral tubal occlusion.
iv. Male sterilization performed more than six months prior to Screening. v. Sexual abstinence. c. Female subjects of non-childbearing potential must be either surgically sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, salpingectomy, and/or bilateral oophorectomy at least 26 weeks before Screening) or postmenopausal, defined as spontaneous amenorrhea for at least 12 months.
d. Male subjects must abstain from sperm donation during study participation and up to 90 days following PP-007 infusion.
e. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have negative results for the pregnancy test at Screening/Baseline.
Exclusion Criteria:
ASPECTS < 3 on NCCT
Multi-arterial territorial strokes (e.g. bilateral, anterior and posterior circulation)
Evidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, including subarachnoid hemorrhage, on initial CTA/CTP, or history of intracranial hemorrhage within the last 30 days.
Pre-existing neurological or psychiatric disease that would confound neurological or functional evaluations in the opinion of the Investigator.
A seizure at stroke onset that precludes obtaining an accurate screening NIHSS and mRS assessment
Clinical history, past imaging, or clinical judgment suggests that the intracranial occlusion is chronic
History of severe head injury within 90 days of Baseline with residual neurological deficit at the time of AIS.
Clinically significant heart disease including:
a. Symptoms or ECG evidence of acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina. b. Cardiac arrhythmia associated with hemodynamic instability. c. Heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III or IV) or known ejection fraction <30%.
d. ECG with second- or third-degree heart block in the absence of a permanent pacemaker.
Refractory BP (systolic >200 and/or diastolic >120 mmHg).

a. Platelet count <50,000/μL at Baseline b. Any anticoagulants within the previous 48 hours that leads to Prothrombin Time (International Normalization Ratio [INR]) ≥2.0 and/or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≥40 sec at baseline.
c. Any dual antiplatelet agents (e.g., aspirin plus clopidogrel) within the previous 48 hours that leads to Prothrombin Time (INR ≥ 2.0 and or aPTT ≥ 40 sec at baseline)
Known history or current evidence of renal or hepatic disease including:
Note: A subject without history or current evidence of renal or hepatic disease does not require creatinine, ALT, AST, or bilirubin results to be available prior to enrollment.
17. Mass effect or intracranial mass on NCCT defined as:
Significant mass effect with midline shift ≥8 mm.
Evidence of intracranial mass (except for small non-clinically significant meningioma based on the Investigator's discretion).
18. Employee of Prolong Pharmaceuticals or its designated clinical research organization or an employee or relative of the Investigator.
19. Any condition or situation which may put the subject at significant risk, may confound the study results, or may interfere significantly with the subject's participation in the study in the opinion of the Investigator.
20. Intracranial neoplasm, arteriovenous malformation, or aneurysm 21. Participation in another clinical trial investigating a drug, medical device, or a medical procedure in the 30 days preceding study inclusion Note: LVO and/or SVO will be allowed as long as the respective study subject meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria defined above.
Inclusion/Exclusion criteria for 2nd PP-007 dose: Prior to administering the second dose of PP-007, the subject, must be evaluated for the following:
Inclusion Criteria for 2nd dose:
Exclusion Criteria for 2nd dose:
