Filter by:In developed countries, stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of permanent disability. Systemic and endovascular thrombolytic treatments in acute cerebral ischemic stroke caused by occlusion of large caliber vessels are currently the standard of care for the acute treatment of stroke. The rationale of this study is to validate the results of this treatment on a large scale, in the context of what can be called "real life". The study will have the characteristics of a descriptive observational study on patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke treated at the Policlinico A. Gemelli-IRCCS from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2023. These data will be compared with a retrospective control group of patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy for cerebral ischemic stroke in our polyclinic. The primary endpoint is the outcome of patients treated with mechanical endovascular thrombectomy evaluated with the modified Ranking Scale at 90 days, while as secondary endpoints some individual characteristics of the patient will be considered (sex, age, clinical history, etc.), characteristics of the thrombus (anatomical-pathological, radiological etc) and related to acute management (therapy, rehabilitation, etc).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether milvexian compared to placebo reduce the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke.
Intravenous thrombolysis is the first-line therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke within 4·5 hours of symptom onset, and recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (alteplase) is the preferred thrombolytic agent for this purpose. RhPro-UK is a specific plasminogen activator. rhPro-UK only acts on occlusive thrombus and has little effect on hemostatic thrombus. In addition, rhPro-UK does not form covalent complexes with protease inhibitors in plasma, so the concentrations of rhpro-UK and protease inhibitors in the blood do not decrease compared with alteplase. Therefore, rhPro-UK therapies have a potential advantage of less systemic bleeding in treated subjects. Data from several previous studies suggest that rhPro-UK is efficacious when used to treat patients with acute myocardial infarction. On April 2, 2011, rhPro-UK injection was approved by the National Medical Products Administration to treat acute myocardial infarction. Since then, rhPro-UK has been widely used to treat myocardial infarction in China. Since 2016, a phase 2 clinical trial was carried to explore the dosing of rhPro-UK in patients with acute ischemic stroke, followed by another study with a sample size of 680 patients to initially validate the efficacy and safety of the proposed dose of 35mg. The results of these studies suggested that rhPro-UK was effective, and there were no safety concerns. To further prove the efficacy and safety of rhPro-UK in patients with acute ischemic stroke, investigators conducted this phase 3 study (PROST-2).
To assess the Efficacy and Safety of Dengzhanxixin Injection in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Receiving Reperfusion Therapy.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of IxCellhUC-MSC-S as a single intravenous infusion in convalescent patients with ischemic stroke. To explore the efficacy of IxCellhUC-MSC-S as a single intravenous infusion in patients with convalescent ischemic stroke.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of evolocumab in combination with statin therapy (atorvastatin) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Extensive research is being conducted in search of neuroprotective agents for possible use in the acute phase of stroke and agents that can be used for neurorepair in later stages of stroke. Several trials have been conducted and are in progress using different pharmacological agents, but none of the studies involve the stimulation of ETB receptors to treat cerebral ischemic stroke. Sovateltide (IRL-1620, PMZ-1620) has been effective in animal models of cerebral ischemic stroke. Its safety and tolerability have been demonstrated in a human phase I study with 7 subjects. Clinical phase II and III results indicate that sovateltide is a novel, first-in-class, highly effective drug candidate for treating cerebral ischemic stroke. Safety and significant efficacy in improving the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Modified Rankin scale (mRS), and Barthel index (BI) obtained in phase II and III studies in patients with cerebral ischemic stroke in India are convincing and encouraged us to investigate its safety and efficacy in cerebral ischemic stroke patients in the United States. Therefore, the plan is to conduct a phase III clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sovateltide therapy along with standard of care in patients of acute ischemic stroke.
Neuroprotection is expected to be an important therapeutic strategy for acute ischemic stroke(AIS), but almost all neuroprotective drugs proved effective in rodent models have failed after entering clinical trials. This study aims to screen the differentially expressed proteins in peripheral blood of patients with acute ischemic stroke and with further study in the animal model of non-human primate cerebral infarction, we may determine the biomarkers that can evaluate the efficacy of neuroprotective drugs.
This phase II clinical study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LT3001 in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke
Researchers are looking for a better way to prevent an ischemic stroke which occurs when a blood clot travelled to the brain in people who within the last 72 hours had: - an acute stroke due to a blood clot that formed outside the heart (acute non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke), or - TIA/mini-stroke with a high risk of turning into a stroke (high-risk transient ischemic attack), and who are planned to receive standard of care therapy. Acute ischemic strokes or TIA/mini-stroke result from a blocked or reduced blood flow to a part of the brain. They are caused by blood clots that travel to the brain and block the vessels that supply it. If these blood clots form elsewhere than in the heart, the stroke is called non-cardioembolic. People who already had a non-cardioembolic stroke are more likely to have another stroke. This is why they are treated preventively with an antiplatelet therapy, the current standard of care. Antiplatelet medicines prevent platelets, components of blood clotting, from clumping together. Anticoagulants are another type of medicine that prevents blood clots from forming by interfering with a process known as coagulation (or blood clotting). The study treatment asundexian is a new type of anticoagulant currently under development to provide further treatment options. Asundexian aims to further improve the standard of care without increasing the risk of bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to learn whether asundexian works better than placebo at reducing ischemic strokes in participants who recently had a non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or TIA/mini-stroke when given in addition to standard antiplatelet therapy. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it. Another aim is to compare the occurrence of major bleeding events during the study between the asundexian and the placebo group. Major bleedings have a serious or even life-threatening impact on a person's health. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take asundexian or placebo once a day for at least 3 months up to 31 months. Approximately every 3 months during the treatment period, either a phone call or a visit to the study site is scheduled on an alternating basis. In addition, one visit before and up to two visits after the treatment period are planned. During the study, the study team will: - Check vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - Examine the participants' heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - Take blood samples - Ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments. In addition, the participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire on quality of life at certain time points during the study.
