Active clinical trials for "Ischemic Stroke"

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group outpatient study that will utilize standard stroke rehabilitation outcome measures, as well as fMRI techniques in a subset of subjects, to evaluate the effect of HT-3951 on motor recovery and behavior in medically stable subjects following ischemic stroke.

the purpose of this study is to to compare the safety and effectiveness of stent-retrievers as a device class group with best medical care alone in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients who are not eligible for IV-tPA up to 8 hours of symptom onset.

This pilot trial will be the first step toward direct comparison of delivery of endovascular reperfusion therapy to intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in a time-to-treatment framework shown as most effective by the NINDS rt-PA Stroke Trial. A randomized trial is justified for the following reasons: 1) The high rate of death and disability associated with ischemic stroke despite treatment with intravenous rt-PA mandates critical analysis of alternate therapies with therapeutic potential, 2) endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke is expanding in North America without compelling evidence of safety and efficacy from well-designed clinical trials, 3) critical cost-effectiveness analysis cannot be done without acquiring pertinent outcomes data from controlled studies.

In this clinical study, the efficacy and safety of ALbumin is to be evaluated for the patients occurred within 12 hours of acute ischemic stroke.

Single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (pro-urokinase) is a highly effective thrombolytic drug. At pharmacologic concentrations however, pro-urokinase is converted to urokinase - a non specific thrombolytic, limiting its therapeutic use. Mutant pro-urokinase (M5) is more stable and its conversion to urokinase is inhibited by C1-inhibitor. The primary objectives of the study are: To assess the overall safety and tolerability related to systemic plasminogen activation of single doses of M5 over a wide dose range (study part I). To assess the effect of single doses of C1-inhibitor on the overall safety and tolerability of single doses of M5 and its effect on M5-induced coagulation changes (study part II).

The purpose of this study is: To assess the neurological outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with NTx®-265, when compared with patients given a placebo control. To assess the safety and tolerability of NTx®-265 when given to acute ischemic stroke patients.

The purpose of this trial is to determine if intravenous administration of the metal ion trapping agent DP-b99 up to 9 hours following acute ischemic stroke onset, and then for 3 additional days (4 consecutive days in total) is effective in improving long term outcome. Patients will be followed up for 3 months after the stroke.

It is anticipated that 548 subjects will be recruited from approximately 27 centres in South Korea. This is an investigator-sponsored, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multi-centre study to assess the effects of rosuvastatin 20 mg compared to placebo in acute ischemic stroke patients, with the first dose within 18 hours after baseline MRI and continued treatment for 14 days. Subjects will be male or female, over 20 years, with diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke with baseline MRI, and who are either statin-naïve or untreated with statin for the previous 3 months. The objective would be to compare the recurrence rate of ischemic stroke by comparing the imaging parameters during 14 days of treatment and clinical improvement as defined by percent improvement based on NIHSS scores measurements at baseline, 5 days and 14 days of treatment.

The goal of the trial is to determine whether human albumin, administered within 5 hours of symptom onset, improves the 3-month outcome of subjects with acute ischemic stroke.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of ONO-2506 versus placebo in neurological stroke outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
