Citicoline in Ischemic Stroke

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

There is evidence that citicoline is the only neuroprotectant able to improve the functional status of the patients after an acute ischemic stroke. Citicoline is a neuroprotectant drug against cerebral ischemia, with positive results, both in experimental and clinical trials, in the treatment of acute stroke and head injuries Also, the safety profile of citicoline is good, and there are no associated problems when the drug is used in this kind to patients The aim of this study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of citicoline in patients with moderate-to-severe acute ischemic stroke in Egypt, according to the characteristics of the medical care in this country

Clinical Trial Description

This is a Prospective Randomized Open-label trial with Blinded Evaluators, Citicoline will be administered in continuous Iv infusion in a dose of 2000 mg per day for the first week following AIS then by oral route for the next 5 weeks. The number of patients needed for this proposal is 200 (100 per group): group 1 (citicoline): receiving citicoline and group 2 (control) not receiving citicoline. A 10% increase will be expected to avoid possible drop-outs. Assessment scales: Eligibility scale: NIHSS score ≥ 8. Outcome scales: modified Rankin Score (mRS) at 3 months Cutoff scores for mRS will be 0-2 as a cut-off point for a good outcome and 3-6 for a bad outcome. Also, a record of all the side effects will be done. Any kind of adverse effect must be recorded by filling the CIOMS form. Randomization: computer-generated randomization to either group. ;
