A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of BMS-986368, a FAAH/MAGL Inhibitor, in Participants With Post-Stroke Spasticity (The STIPS Study)
Sponsored by Alberto Esquenazi
About this study
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug BMS-986368 works to treat post stroke spasticity in adults who have had a stroke. BMS-986368 is a designed to increase natural compounds in the body that may help calm nerves that cause muscles to be tight or spasm. The study will also learn about the safety of drug BMS-986368
Post-stroke spasticity (PSS) is a common and disabling complication of stroke that can impair upper-limb function, limit activities of daily living, and negatively affect quality of life. Current treatment options, including oral antispasticity medications and botulinum toxin injections, may provide incomplete symptom control and are often associated with tolerability limitations. Therefore, there is a need for novel therapies that can improve both spasticity and functional recovery in individuals with PSS. Preclinical evidence and early clinical experience support evaluation of BMS-986368 as a treatment for post-stroke spasticity. The STIPS Study is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of BMS-986368…
