Active clinical trials for "Cerebral Infarction"

The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effect of limb occlusion therapy (remote ischemic conditioning, RIC) in subjects with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The main question it aims to answer is whether RIC can improve long-term recovery in participants with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Researchers will compare levels of functional independence in participants in the RIC-group to participants in the sham-group.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sarecycline versus placebo in the treatment of microcirculation dysfunction after reperfusion therapy in patients with large vessel occlusion stroke.

A fifth of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients will have recurrent events within the first 3 months [Refs 1-3] despite aggressive medical therapy with antiplatelets and risk factor control. Clopidogrel is one of the mainstays of antiplatelet secondary prevention therapy in patients with ischemic stroke. CYP2C19 loss of function (LOF) mutations impair the effectiveness of clopidogrel [Ref 4]. The prevalence of LOF mutations is approximately 60% in the local population [Ref 5], rendering the effectiveness of empiric clopidogrel treatment doubtful. For patients who have LOF mutations, other treatment options for secondary prevention of ischemic stroke need to be tested. This study aims to determine the feasibility and clinical impact of genetic testing guided antiplatelet therapy in ischemic stroke patients on the prevention of major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events. Clopidogrel naive ischemic stroke or TIA patients aged 21 years and above will be randomised to genetic testing guided antiplatelet therapy or standard medical therapy within 7 days of their index event. Patients allocated to testing group will have blood sample drawn for diagnosis of CYP2C19 LOF mutations. Patients who test positive for an LOF mutation (intermediate and poor metabolisers) will be offered alternative antiplatelet therapy in the form of aspirn (for those who need monotherapy) or aspirin plus ticagrelor or dipyridamole (for those who need dual antiplatelet therapy) to be decided by the managing physician. Patients who test negative for LOF mutation will continue on clopidogrel. Platelet reactivity index (enables the identification of patients with an inadequate response to antiplatelet agents) will be measured at baseline.

The aim of our study is to therapeutic effect and platelet activity after intravenous laser irradiation of blood for ischemic stroke patient

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of rhPro-UK (35mg) versus standard medical treatment in acute mild ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of symptom onset.

A study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Renexin CR in patients with Acute Non-cardioembolic Ischemic Stroke

Acute stroke afflicts nearly 700,000 patients in the US and is the number 3 cause of death. Only 2-9% of this large number is treated with t-PA if they arrive within 4.5 hours. An equally small percentage of patients with large vessel occlusion undergo thrombectomy. The thrombectomy patients may or may not receive t-PA. Some of these patients rarely receive intravenous GPIIB/IIIa inhibitors. Many lines of evidence suggest that GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors, a class of FDA approved potent platelet inhibitors that have been used extensively along with heparin for acute coronary syndromes (heart attacks) and unstable angina (chest pain), may be safe enough to give in these circumstances.

The objective of the study is to determine the safely of Human Umbilical Cord Blood mononuclear cells by Intravenous injection in acute ischemic stroke patients.

The trial is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of using the Zoom Reperfusion System in subjects diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke and undergoing a thrombectomy procedure within 8 hours of last known well.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) analogue liraglutide in the treatment of acute minor stroke (National Institute of Health stroke scale, NIHSS ≤ 3) or high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA) (ABCD2 score ≥ 4 ) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
