Optimizing Reperfusion to Improve Outcomes and Neurologic Function
(ORION)
What this study is about
The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of JX10 versus placebo in participants with Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) who present for care within 4.5 to 24 hours. The main question the study aims to answer are: 1. JX10 improves functional outcomes as measured by the modified Rankin Scale score when compared with placebo following AIS. 2.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of JX10 versus placebo in participants with Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) who present for care within 4.5 to 24 hours. The main question the study aims to answer are: 1. JX10 improves functional outcomes as measured by the modified Rankin Scale score when compared with placebo following AIS. 2. Risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage of JX10 in participants with AIS.
Interventions
DRUG
JX10
JX10 is a thrombolytic agent.
DRUG
Placebo
Placebo is being used as the comparator.
Primary outcome measures
Efficacy: Proportion of participants with no or minimal symptoms (mRS score 0-1) at 90 days
Time frame: 90 days
Safety: Incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 36 hours post-randomization
Time frame: Within 36 hours post-randomization
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Age ≥ 18 and ≤ 90 years old. 2. Acute ischemic stroke with compatible clinical presentation and symptomatic high grade or complete occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid, M1, M2 or distal branches of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), anterior cerebral artery (ACA), or posterior cerebral artery (PCA). 3. Radiographic evidence of salvageable tissue. 4. Pre-treatment score of NIHSS ≥ 5.
Exclusion criteria
- Radiographic findings pre-randomization of any of the following: 1. Large core infarction, or 2. Occlusion in more than 1 vascular territory, or 3. Significant mass effect or clinically significant cerebral edema, or 4. Evidence of acute intracranial or extracranial hemorrhage, intracranial tumor (except small meningioma), neoplasm, or arteriovenous malformation), or 5. Clinical history, past imaging, or clinical judgement suggests that the intracranial occlusion is chronic. 2. Medical history or active clinically significant bleeding

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
