Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous doses of 3K3A-APC, a recombinant variant of human activated protein C (APC), in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke following treatment with thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy or both.
The incidence of depression in stroke patients with frontal lobe involvement was reported to be as high as 42%. Agomelatin, a type 1/2 melatonin receptor agonist and serotonin 2C receptor antagonist, is effective in treatment of depression, but whether it can prevent poststroke depression (PSD) remains unknown. The PRAISED trial is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial and is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of agomelatine in the prevention of PSD in stroke patients with frontal lobe involvement. The primary outcome is the rate of post-stroke depression for 180 days.
This is a phase II, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of multiple doses of LT3001 drug product in subjects with acute ischemic stroke (AIS)
A two stage phase 2 study with an interim analysis to provide evidence that subjects provided with early administration of NanO2 who are located at small rural spoke hospitals and identified with large vessel occlusion ischemic strokes as well as viable penumbra prior to transfer to larger hub hospitals and who continue dosing NanO2 until revascularization is achieved by intravenous alteplase and/or mechanical thrombectomy, will experience stroke recovery by shifting ischemic brain tissue to normal tissue pO2 environments.
To assess whether PFO closure plus antiplatelet therapy is superior to antiplatelet therapy alone and whether oral anticoagulant therapy is superior to antiplatelet therapy to prevent stroke recurrence in patients aged 60 to 80 years with a PFO with large shunt (> 20 microbubbles) or a PFO associated with an ASA (> 10 mm), and an otherwise unexplained ischemic stroke.
Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is one of the important risk factors influencing poor outcomes and death in stroke patients. Over the past two decades, accumulating evidence suggests that post-stroke brain injury mobilizes the adrenergic system, which induces post-stroke immunosuppression and SAP. This study is designed to test the safety and efficacy of an adrenergic β-receptor blocker, propranolol, with or without combination of antibiotics, in reducing SAP in stroke patients. The underlying immune mechanisms will be investigated.
The study will be a prospective, randomized, double- blinded placebo, single center pilot clinical trial. Patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion undergoing endovascular thrombectomy will be included. The treatment group will receive 200 mg intravenous/oral minocycline hydrochloride in addition to endovascular thrombectomy for a total of 21 days. The control group will receive standard medical and endovascular care along with a similar looking placebo. Patients will be randomized to the treatment or control group by the Pharmacy eliminating the selection bias. The patient and evaluator will be blind to the allocation of patients further minimizing the bias. Through randomization we expect to achieve two groups that are comparable in their baseline clinical characteristics.
In the Russian Federation, ischemic cerebral infarction is recorded annually in more than 450,000 people. It is the second most common cause of death after coronary heart disease. The 30-day mortality rate after an ischemic cerebral infarction is more than 25%, and during the following year about half of the patients die. To date, all candidate neuroprotective drugs tested in various clinical trials have demonstrated insufficient efficacy . Therefore, the development of new approaches to the treatment of severe brain injuries of various etiologies is one of the most important tasks of critical condition medicine. Brain damage due to stroke triggers a number of pathophysiological reactions, which are based on the accumulation of glutamate with the development of excitotoxicity. The effect of glutamate on NMDA receptors is one of the main factors of neurodegenerative disorders. Xenon is an anesthetic whose neuroprotective properties have been shown in many experimental studies. Хenon inhalation after ischemia and reperfusion suppresses ischemic brain damage and tPA-induced cerebral hemorrhages, and damage to the blood-brain barrier. The most interesting is a randomized controlled trial performed by R. Laitio et al. (2016), in which the use of xenon in combination with hypothermia in clinical practice was studied for the first time. In patients who have undergone community-acquired cardiac arrest, xenon inhalation at a concentration of 40 vol.% within 24 hours in combination with hypothermia, led to less damage to the white matter of the brain than with patients using hypothermia alone. The 6-month mortality rate was 27% in the xenon and hypothermia group and 35% in the hypothermia group. It is important to note that today, despite a large pool of convincing preclinical studies proving the neuroprotective properties of xenon, there is not a single clinical study of its use in ischemic stroke. Therefore, the research objectives is to determine whether the strategy of using xenon-oxygen mixture inhalation is better than oxygen-air mixture inhalation with respect to the change in scores on the NIHSS, Rankin and Glasgow coma scales on day 7, the duration of stay in the ICU and the frequency of nosocomial pneumonia.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of balovaptan compared with placebo in participants with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) at risk of developing malignant cerebral edema (MCE)
This study will determine whether early, comprehensive, rhythm control therapy prevents adverse cardiovascular outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation compared to usual care.
