Key exclusion criteria

medical evidence, that treatment with a plasminogen activator is indicated.

3. Large core of established infarction defined as ASPECTS 0-4.

4. Absent or poor collateral circulation on qualifying imaging (e.g. collateral score of
0 or 1).

5. Any intracranial hemorrhage on the qualifying imaging.

6. Planned use of an endovascular device not having approval or clearance by the relevant

2c/3 reperfusion or completion of groin / arterial closure.

8. Clinical history, past imaging or clinical judgment suggesting that the intracranial
occlusion is chronic or there is suspected intracranial dissection such that there is
a predicted lack of success with endovascular intervention.

9. Estimated or known weight > 120 kg (264 lbs).

10. Pregnancy/Lactation; female, with positive urine or serum beta human chorionic
gonadotropin (ß-hCG) test, or breastfeeding.

11. Known prior receipt of nerinetide for any reason, including prior enrolment in this
ESCAPE-NEXT trial.

12. Severe known renal impairment defined as requiring renal replacement therapy (hemo- or
peritoneal dialysis).

13. Severe or fatal comorbid illness that will prevent improvement or follow up.

14. Inability to complete follow-up treatment to Day 90.

15. Participation in another clinical trial investigating a drug, medical device, or a
medical procedure in the 30 days preceding trial inclusion.

Summary
Brief summary
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if a single dose of nerinetide can reduce
global disability in people who have had a stroke and are selected for endovascular therapy
without the use of a tissue plasminogen activator (alteplase, tenecteplase, or equivalent).
