Brief Summary

This clinical study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy of SP-8203 (otaplimastat) and thrombolytic standard of care in acute ischemic stroke patient. As a standard of care, thrombolytic therapy (for instance, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator) will be administered. When reperfusion is not achieved in spite of thrombolytic therapy, endovascular therapy can be performed.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with neurologic deficit of ≥ 8 points by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score * Patients with pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale (mRS) must be 0 or 1, which means they were able to carry out all usual duties and activities * Adults aged ≥19 years and ≤85 years * Patients who can receive thrombolytic standard of care within 4.5 hours after the onset of early symptoms of acute ischemic stroke * Patients available for brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanning * Patients who consent to participate in this study Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with systemic allergic diseases or hypersensitivity to specific drugs. * Patients who were diagnosed with myocardial infarction (MI) within the last 6 months. * Patients who had arrhythmia causing clinical symptoms such as dyspnea or palpitation within the last 6 months. * Patients showing the following abnormal ECG findings in stable condition at Emergency Room: * The range of pulse rate - under 55/min or exceed 120/min * 2nd or 3rd degree Atrioventricular (AV) block indicated in ECG * Congenital or acquired QT syndrome indicated in ECG * Pre-excitation syndrome indicated in ECG * Patients with severe heart failure of New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or Class IV. * Patients with fever (≥ 38℃) or infection signs which require antibiotic therapy at screening. * Patients with pulmonary diseases (asthma, Chronic Obstruction Pulmonary disease, and active tuberculosis etc.) who have being recently been treated more than 1 month at screening. * Patients with decreased hemoglobin (Hb\< 10g/dL), decreased platelet count (PLT\< 100,000/mm3) or hematocrit of \<25% in complete blood count. * Patients who have undergone hemodialysis and/or treatments due to nephropathies, acute or chronic renal failure at screening. * Patients with a cancer in following conditions: diagnosed within 6 months before the screening time, or any treatment for cancer within the previous 6 months, or with recurrent/ metastatic cancer. * Pregnant and lactating women.
