A Double-Blind, Controlled Phase 2b Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Modified Stem Cells in Patients with Chronic Motor Deficit from Ischemic Stroke
◼
◼
The Fugl-Meyer Motor Scale (FMMS) is widely recognized as a clinically relevant measure of body function impairment
The FMMS includes items measuring movement, upper extremity subscale (scored 0-66) and lower extremity subscale (scored 0-34)

Background of Composite FMMS settings
Minimally Clinically Important Difference (MCID)
- A statistically significant mean difference does not necessarily represent a difference that is perceived as meaningful by patients3
- Regulatory agencies require an outcome to be BOTH statistically significant AND clinically meaningful
- Minimally Clinically Important Difference (MCID) is defined as the smallest change on a measure that is reliably associated with a meaningful change in a patient's clinical status, function, or quality of life1,2
- We determined MCID by performing all three methods: Delphi Expert panel, Anchoring on the GRPC form TBI trial and Distribution methods
- The expert panel recommended to assess the MCID separately for the upper and lower extremity, as it would be clinically more relevant
- Composite endpoint is a modified version of the Fugl-Meyer Motor Scale: FMMS Total, FMMS Upper Extremity, and FMMS Lower Extremity subscales
- Composite endpoint requires attaining MCID threshold in at least one of the following at 24 weeks:
- FMMS Total ≥9 points improvement from baseline
- FMMS UE ≥6 points improvement from baseline
- FMMS LE ≥4 points improvement from baseline

Results of Additional Analysis:
FMMS Composite Endpoint at Month 6
In patients with infarct size less than a certain amount, there was a 30% difference in "Composite Response %" between SB623 group (49%) and control group (19%).

Select patients with infarct size less than a certain amount

Condition 2.
Composite endpoint requires attaining in at least one of the following:
- FMMS Total ≥9 points improvement from baseline
- FMMS UE ≥6 points improvement from baseline
- FMMS LE ≥4 points improvement from baseline

Significance of volume of stroke's in clinical and preclinical (animal behavioral) outcomes and biology of stroke brain tissue
Is there any clinical relationship Vol Stroke & functional outcomes?
In Human
Baseline FMMS vs Volume of Stroke
Association of follow-up infarct volume with functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke: a pooled analysis of seven randomized trials
[April 7, 2018]. J Neurointerv Surg. Doi:10.1136/neurintsurg Anna M M Boers
1665 included patients, 83% were imaged with CT. Median
Follow-up infarct volume (FIV)
was 41 mL (IQR 14-120). A large
FIV was associated with worse
functional outcome with
OR=0.88(95% CI 0.87 to 0.89) per 10 mL in adjusted analysis.
In Animal
In Biology, Is there any explanation at the tissue level
SB623 cells were noticeably scattered in the penumbral regions (tissue which is still viable, but not functional, located between normal tissue and stroke core and relevant to the impairment). persistence of these cells in this condition are better than in severe stroke environments.

Summary of STR-02 additional analysis results
We conducted additional analysis using a modified primary endpoint in a selected patient group. As a result, we now expect to obtain statistically superior results and clinically meaningful improvement in the next trial.

- FMMS for lower extremity: | +4 points or more | certain amount | SB623 group (49%: 25/51) | |
- FMMS total: | +9 points or more | |||
- For additional analysis, the primary endpoint was reviewed in light of the minimal clinically important difference (MCID: the smallest change that could be interpreted as a clinically beneficial change in patients) and the results of the Phase 2 trial for TBI program. Even when compared to the primary endpoint originally established, we believe the appeal of the clinical significance of the treatment responses stands.
- The group of patients selected for analysis represented approximately half of the total STR-02 trial subjects, and we believe this is a feasible patient group.
