Safety and tolerability of Rinvecalinase Alfa (DM199) for acute ischemic stroke (ReMEDy1)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Rinvecalinase alfa (DM199), a recombinant form of human tissue kallikrein-1 (KLK1), aims to promote local vasodilation to ischemic brain and enhance collateral blood flow. The ReMEDy1 trial tested the safety and tolerability of rinvecalinase alfa in ischemic stroke. METHODS: ReMEDy1 was a phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study conducted at 13 Australian sites. Ninety-two patients with NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) 6-25 were enrolled within 24 h of ischemic stroke onset. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive rinvecalinase alfa (1 µg/kg intravenous infusion followed by 3 µg/kg subcutaneously every 3 days for 22 days) or placebo. The primary outcome was safety, assessed by adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs). Secondary outcomes included changes in NIHSS, modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and Barthel Index (BI) at Days 22 and 90. Post hoc analyses excluded patients who underwent endovascular therapy (EVT). RESULTS: The median age was 72, NIHSS 10, and onset-to-randomization was 19.5 h. SAEs were reported in 20/47 (43.5%) rinvecalinase alfa patients and 14/45 (31.1%) placebo patients. Most patients experienced at least one AE; the most common in the rinvecalinase alfa group were constipation (60.9%), oral candidiasis (23.9%), and nausea (17.4%). Stroke-in-evolution by Day 90 occurred in 0 (0%) rinvecalinase alfa patients versus 6 (13.3%) placebo patients; 4/6 (66.7%) placebo patients with stroke-in-evolution died. No significant differences were observed in secondary efficacy outcomes at Day 90. Post hoc analyses in patients not treated with EVT suggested a tendency toward improved excellent global outcomes with rinvecalinase alfa. CONCLUSIONS: Rinvecalinase alfa appeared to be safe and generally well-tolerated in ischemic stroke patients, with potential efficacy in reducing stroke progression. Further studies are needed to confirm efficacy and long-term benefits in patients without EVT. REGISTRATIONS: https://www. CLINICALTRIALS: gov/study/NCT03290560.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
