A Study of TAK-755 in Adults With Acute Ischemic Stroke

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a medical emergency that happens because of a sudden stop of blood flow to a part of the brain. This happens when a blood clot forms within the vessel (known as thrombotic occlusion) or a clot originating from somewhere else blocks a blood vessel (known as embolic occlusion). Strokes can cause serious health problems, death, and affect one's quality of life. To reduce long-term damage, it is important to restore blood flow to the brain as soon as possible. The main aim of this study is to check how safe TAK-755 is, and how well adults with AIS tolerate it. Other aims are to check how well TAK-755 helps participants to manage their everyday activities and to understand whether it helps reduce the seriousness of their stroke symptoms when compared to placebo. A placebo looks like TAK-755, but does not have any medicine in it, to make sure participants do not know which treatment they are taking. The participants will receive TAK-755 or placebo once; afterwards, their health will be monitored for about 3 months (90 days). All participants, regardless of their assignment to either TAK-755 or placebo, will receive the usual treatment for AIS as per the hospital's normal practice.
