Approximately 100 patients are being treated across about 25 hospitals in the United States. The trial is designed as an open-label, randomized study, with safety as the primary endpoint by measuring comparative adverse events such as hypotension. Acasti anticipates that early data from the trial will be available in early 2025. If GTX-104 shows improved safety and ease of administration over oral nimodipine, it could offer a new standard of care for aSAH patients.
