Active clinical trials for "Ischemic Stroke"

The purpose of this study is to determine the long-term efficacy and safety of Normobaric Hyperoxia combined with intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke.

The goal of this (monocentric, randomised, placebo-controlled single-blinded; phase 2) clinical trial is to test the hypothesis that DNase 1 administration leads to a reduction in systemic immune response measured in patients after acute ischaemic stroke compared to control treatment. Participants will receive intravenous DNase 1 (500 µg/kg) or placebo (NaCl 0.9%) twice within 24±6 hours after symptom onset (last seen well). Blood samples will be taken at baseline, day 1 and 3. Personal visits will occur on baseline, day 1, 3 and discharge date. A telephone interview will be conducted on day 30±3.

Upper limb motor impairment is one of the most common sequelae after stroke. Indeed, the recovery of upper limb sensory-motor functions remains one of the most important goals in stroke rehabilitation. In the last years, new approaches in neurorehabilitation field has been investigated to enhance motor recovery. The use of wearable devices combined with surface electromyography (i.e. sEMG) electrodes allows to detect patients muscle activation during motor performance. Moreover, sEMG is used to provide to the patients the biofeedback about their muscle activity during exercises execution to enhance motor control and motor recovery. The aim of the study is to define the efficacy of using REMO® (Morecognition srl, Turin,Italy) for hand motor recovery after stroke. A randomised-controlled trial will be conducted compared to a task-oriented training, in hand motor rehabilitation after stroke. 28 patients with diagnosis of first stroke event will be enrolled in this study. After randomization process, participants will be allocated in Experimental Group (REMO training) or in Control Group (task-oriented training). The participants will be assessed before and after the treatment and sEMG will be collected during 12 hand movements. The treatment will consist of 15 sessions (1h/day, 5day/week, 3 weeks). Finally, the sEMG of the same 12 hand movements will be collected from 15 healthy subjects to compare muscle activation with a normal reference model.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Y-6 sublingual tablets in improving microcirculation dysfunction and reducing thrombo-inflammation in patients who had AIS caused by LVO and received reperfusion therapy. Moreover, we expect to evaluate the safety of using Y-6 sublingual tablet in such study population.

The mortality of malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (mMCAI) is up to 80%, while current available treatment is limited. The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility, safety and efficacy of Intracalvaria bone marrow injection of cytoprotective drug Y-3 in mMCAI patients with contradictions of reperfusion therapy or poor reperfusion outcome.

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of IV rhTNK-tPA between 4.5 to 24 hours from symptom onset in patients presenting with a non-large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke.

Through the implementation of prospective, multi-center, randomized, parallel controlled clinical studies to verify the safety and effectiveness of Hongyuan thrombolysis device system in the intravascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke. According to the requirements of the experiment, 200 subjects were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group 1:1. According to the information of the group, corresponding devices were used to receive endovascular therapy and the results were evaluated.

Rationale: Recently, one prospective multicenter RCT reported a potential beneficial effect of intra-arterial alteplase following successful endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with an acute intracranial large vessel occlusion. In 2018, another prospective multicenter RCT supported the superiority of tenecteplase over alteplase in ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion. Objective: To assess the effect of EVT in addition to intra-arterial tenecteplase compared to EVT alone, in patients with large vessel occlusion of posterior circulation, on functional and safety outcomes. Study design: This is a parallel group, randomized clinical trial of EVT with IA-TNK versus EVT. The trial has observer blind assessment of the primary outcome and of neuro-imaging at baseline and follow-up. Study population: Patients with acute intracranial large vessel occlusion of posterior circulation and an eTICI 2b-3 after EVT. Main study parameters/outcomes: The primary effect parameter will be excellent functional status at day 90 defined as a modified Rankin Score (mRS) of 0-1. The estimate will be adjusted for the known prognostic variables age, pre-stroke mRS, time from onset to randomization, stroke severity (NIHSS) and collaterals and adjusted and unadjusted estimates with corresponding 95% confidence intervals will be reported.

Post stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) refers to the attainment of cognitive impairment after the clinical event of stroke A range of syndromes that impede diagnostic criteria. Epidemiologically, PSCI is one of the common complications in stroke patients

Previous study showed that the proportions of hemorrhagic Infarction after intravenous thrombolysis were 24.2% and 32.5% in the control group and the alteplase group, and most of them were asymptomatic. Hemorrhagic Infarction was a part of the natural progression after acute ischemic stroke. Previous study have shown no significant relationship between hemorrhagic Infarction and poor outcome in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. In this study, a randomized controlled trial will be conducted to explore the efficacy and safety of early antiplatelet therapy after hemorrhagic infarction in acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis.
