Active clinical trials for "Ischemic Stroke"

The study investigated the clinical efficacy and safety of a 10-day course of therapy with daily intravenous administration of 30mL Cerebrolysin based on a comparison with Placebo in patients with acute ischemic stroke. 1070 patients were randomized in this trial in 2 parallel groups, one receiving Cerebrolysin, the control group receiving Placebo. Study drug will be given once daily by intravenous infusion for 10 consecutive days. Acetylsalicylic acid will be given orally, once daily throughout the study duration of 90 days as basic treatment. The clinical observation period for each patient will be 3 months and will include six clinical evaluation visits at Baseline (day 1) and on study days 2, 5, 10, 30 and 90.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the efficacy and safety of intravenously administered alteplase in patients with acute ischemic stroke based on the rate of recanalization assessed by magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), the rate of patients with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-1, and the incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), in comparison with the data reported in the current literature.

The purpose of this pivotal study is to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the NeuroThera® Laser System (referred to hereafter as NTS) in the treatment of Subjects diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke. The initiation of NTS treatment must be feasible for each Subject within 24 hours of stroke onset.

The researchers aim to investigate the effect of memantine on stroke outcome in a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial.

We wish to conduct a prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled multi center study of the combined neuroprotective and antithrombotic effects of SSRI treatment after stroke. Hypotheses: SSRI treatment commenced in the acute phase of stroke (day 0-7) protects against new thromboembolic events and leads to better rehabilitation. 600 stroke patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio. The treatment and follow up period is 6 months. During these 6 months there will be 2 clinical follow up visits, one telephone control and one visit to evaluate compliance regarding medication.

Mildronate an inhibitor of carnitine-dependent metabolism, is considered an anti-ischemic drug. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mildronate injection in treating acute ischemic stroke.

This is a 3-arm, prospective, randomized, double-blind, and controlled clinical study, with 3 months of treatment to evaluate efficacy of DLBS1033 in bleeding profile and clinical outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke compared with aspirin and clopidogrel, as active controls.

To evaluate the effect of the dynamic combination therapy on Chinese herbal granule formula (Fangji) based on differentiation of syndromes ("Zhenghou") according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine for improving the symptoms in the convalescent phase of ischemic stroke, and to establish the pharmacodynamic model of "Zhenghou" according to the results of this trial.

Endovascular therapy is increasingly used for patients with moderate-to-severe acute ischemic stroke.This study will compare the efficacy and safety of RECO(a novel, self-expanding stent retriever) with Solitaire FR within 8 hours of stroke onset caused by the large vessel occlusion.

The purpose of this study is to test the experimental drug "THR-18" given together with the drug "tissue plasminogen activator" for the treatment of stroke. Tissue plasminogen activator is also called "tPA". Strokes often result from blockade of blood supply caused by blood clots forming within the blood vessel feeding the brain. Such strokes are called "Ischemic strokes". Treatment of these strokes is aimed at breaking up the blood clot(s) and renewing the blood flow before further parts of the brain die. Breaking up the blood clot is possible with the drug tPA when it is injected into a vein shortly after the stroke starts. However, along with breaking up the blood clot, tPA sometimes causes adverse effects, for example, it may cause bleeding. THR-18, the drug tested in this study, is meant to bind to tPA and reduce its adverse effects without stopping tPA's breaking up of the blocking blood clot. The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of THR-18 in acute ischemic stroke patients who are treated in parallel with tPA. Another purpose of this study is to investigate levels of THR-18 and tPA in the blood stream at different time points after they are injected, at the same time, into a vein. In addition, this study will measure tPA's effect on blood clot dissolution when tPA is given with and without THR-18. The study will also study the effect THR-18 may have on signals of brain damage that can be found in the blood after stroke: these signals of brain damage are small proteins called S100B and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9. These proteins are released into the blood stream when the brain is injured. The safety evaluation of THR-18 in this study will be done in comparison to placebo. Placebo is a drug that looks exactly like THR-18 but has no activity. Three doses of THR-18 will be tested, one after the other, in three groups of patients. In each group, some patients will receive THR-18 and some will receive placebo. This clinical study will be conducted only at one hospital in the Ukraine. In total, 30 patients are planned to participate in this study. These patients will be in the hospital for at least 3 days after receiving the study treatment. Then, about 1 month later, they will be invited for a last follow-up visit.
