NEW YORK, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Remedy Pharmaceuticals, a leader in stroke drug development, announced today that a Type C meeting held with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on October 16, 2024, provided valuable feedback on the design of a Phase 3 trial of its investigational drug, CIRARA, for large hemispheric infarction (LHI), a severe and life-threatening form of ischemic stroke.
A Type C meeting is a formal discussion between the FDA and a sponsor to review product development plans. Remedy sought feedback on the proposed Phase 3 study, and the meeting, along with meeting minutes, clarified key aspects of the trial's design.

About Large Hemispheric Infarctions
Large hemispheric infarctions (LHIs) are severe strokes affecting a significant portion of one cerebral hemisphere, typically involving the territory supplied by the middle cerebral artery (MCA). These strokes result in extensive brain damage and often lead to life-threatening complications such as severe cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, and brain herniation.
