In the light of the information provided to the members of the
Independent Monitoring Committee (IMC), and in accordance with the
futility criteria defined in the protocol, the IMC recommends that
the GREEN study be discontinued.
In light of the Committee's recommendations, sponsor Assistance
Publique Hôpitaux de Paris (APHP), in agreement with Professor
Mikaël Mazighi, principal investigator of the study, has decided to
stop the GREEN study and halt enrolment. To date, 108 patients have

Paris, is part of the RHU BOOSTER program, with financial support
from the Agence Nationale de la Recherche and the Programme
Investissements d'Avenir.
GREEN (Glenzocimab for REperfusion in the setting of
Endovascular therapy for brain infarctioN) is a randomized,
double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 study of
the efficacy and safety of glenzocimab as an adjunct to mechanical
thrombectomy in the first 24 hours of acute ischemic stroke.

About ACTICOR BIOTECH
Acticor Biotech is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company
developing glenzocimab, an innovative drug for the treatment of
cardiovascular emergencies, particularly ischemic stroke.
The positive results of the phase 1b/2a study, ACTIMIS,
published in January 2024 in the Lancet Neurology (link to
publication) confirmed the safety profile of glenzocimab and showed
a reduction in mortality and intracerebral hemorrhage in the
glenzocimab-treated group of stroke patients. A post-hoc analysis
of brain imaging at 0 and 24 hours using artificial intelligence
confirmed these results, showing a reduction in the number and
volume of intracerebral lesions in patients treated with
glenzocimab.
On April 25, 2024, the company announced the initial results of
the international phase 2/3 ACTISAVE study in the treatment of
acute ischemic stroke, which showed no efficacy of glenzocimab on
the primary endpoint, the proportion of patients with severe
disability or death (mRS 4-6) 90 days after stroke, nor on the
secondary endpoint, the proportion of patients returning to life
without disability (mRS 0-2).
On May 15, 2024, Prof. Martin K�hrmann (Principal Investigator
of ACTISAVE) presented the main results of the study at the opening
session of the European Stroke Organization Conference (ESOC),
confirming the neutrality of the study on the primary and secondary
endpoints, and showing trends in return to normal life (mRS 0-1),
notably in sub-populations of patients with complete recanalization
after mechanical thrombectomy.
Glenzocimab is also being evaluated in a Phase 2b LIBERATE
clinical trial initiated by academic teams in the treatment of
myocardial infarction, with final results expected in Q4 2025.
Acticor Biotech is supported by a panel of European and
international investors (Mediolanum farmaceutici, Karista, Go
Capital, Newton Biocapital, CMS Medical Venture Investment (HK)
Limited, A&B (HK) Limited, Anaxago, and the Armesa Foundation)
and has been listed on Euronext Growth Paris since November 2021
(ISIN: FR0014005OJ5 - ALACT).
