Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Sliding Dichotomy modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3 months

    The primary efficacy endpoint is improvement beyond expectations on the modified Rankin Scale at 3 months (sliding dichotomy), assessed in primary populations of: 1. modified intention to treat (mITT) 2. confirmed cortical involvement (CCI), defined as baseline NIHSS ≥ 10 and signs of cortical involvement in baseline imaging (at least one of the following ASPECT regions: M1-M6, Insular Cortex) Type I Error is controlled at an overall level of 0.05 (two-sided) using the Hochberg method.

    90 days±7 days

Other Outcomes (9)

  • Subgroup analysis

    90 days±7 days

  • Additional clinical efficacy outcome: SIS-16

    90 days±7 days

  • Additional clinical efficacy outcome: Dichotomy 0-2 mRS at 3 months

  • +6 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Active Stimulation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Implantation/ISS Stimulation during 5 consecutive days \& Standard of Care (SoC). Day 1: First stimulation initiated within 24 hours from stroke onset, following implantation completion. All subjects will be treated according to SoC for treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke. Day 2-4: ISS Stimulation treatment sessions repeated daily. Each treatment will be initiated within 18-26 hours from the preceding treatment. Day 5: Following completion of the last ISS Stimulation treatment session, imaging performed for assessing Injectable Neuro Stimulator (INS) positioning and/or lesion. Implant removal procedure will then be performed. Subsequently, patients will be evaluated for safety and effectiveness. Subjects will continue with SoC as needed and discharged from the hospital based on the judgment of the study investigator.

Device: Active Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG) Stimulation

Sham Stimulation

SHAM COMPARATOR

Sham Implantation and Sham Stimulation during 5 consecutive days \& Standard of Care (SoC). Day 1: First Sham stimulation initiated within 24 hours from stroke onset, following Sham implantation procedure. All subjects will be treated according to SoC for treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke. Day 2-4: Sham Stimulation sessions repeated daily. Each Sham Stimulation will be initiated within 18-26 hours from the preceding treatment. Day 5: Following completion of the last Sham Stimulation session, imaging performed for lesion assessment. Sham Implant removal will then be performed. Subsequently, patients will be evaluated for safety and effectiveness. Subjects will continue with SoC as needed and discharged from the hospital based on the judgment of the study investigator.

Device: Sham Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG) Stimulation

Interventions

SPG stimulation and standard of care. During all study periods, patients will receive Standard of Care in accordance to the general management of ischemic stroke and secondary prevention, following the guidelines of the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association and of the European Stroke Organization (ESO), including the use of antiplatelets, management of secondary stroke, dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes and counseling regarding smoking cessation. Off-label uses of drugs and devices should not occur during any of the study periods.
