Brief Summary: The goal of the trial is to determine whether human albumin administered within 5 hours of symptom onset improves the 3-month outcome of subjects with acute ischemic stroke
Detailed Description: Human serum albumin at 2 gkg administered over 2 hours by intravenous infusion will be compared to placebo isovolumic normal saline among patients with acute ischemic stroke All patients will have a baseline stroke severity measured as NIH Stroke scale score 5 Patients will treated according to the best standard of care including concurrent treatment with intravenous or intra-arterial thrombolysis where appropriate The primary outcome will be determined at 3 months The primary hypothesis is that using the composite outcome of a modified Rankin score 0-1 or NIH stroke scale score 0-1 at 3 months or both the proportion of patients with improved outcomes will be greater by 10 or more in the active treatment group The current trial is termed Part 2 and incorporates revisions to the initial protocol that were instituted after the Data Safety Monitoring Board DSMB suspended subject recruitment because of a safety concern after 434 subjects had been enrolled The protocol revisions of Part 2 resulted from the study teams thorough review of the Part-1 safety data and were designed to optimize safety going forward
