Brief Summary

This is a prospective, randomized (1:1), double-blind, multi-center, Phase II clinical study to test the safety and efficacy of a recombinant chimeric anti-tissue factor antibody (ALT-836) versus plac...

Detailed Description

Tissue factor (TF)-dependent procoagulant activity and associated inflammatory processes may play a role in the severity and progression of ALI/ARDS. Recent studies demonstrated that TF levels were el...

  • Known bleeding diathesis
  • Presence of an epidural catheter or lumbar puncture within 48 hours before study drug infusion or anticipation of receiving an epidural catheter or a lumbar puncture within 48 hours after study drug infusion
  • Stroke within 3 months of study entry
  • Trauma with an increased risk of life-threatening bleeding
  • A history of severe head trauma that required hospitalization, or intracranial surgery within two months of study entry
  • Any history of intracerebral arteriovenous malformation, cerebral aneurysm, or central nervous system mass lesion
