Active clinical trials for "Ischemia"

To collect real-world evidence allowing assessment of functional, imaging, and safety outcomes of MicroVention market-released acute ischemic stroke devices when used at the direction of the treating physician.

In this study, satralizumab will be administered to see whether satralizumab is safe in patients with a burst brain aneurysm and if it may prevent strokes in patients with a burst brain aneurysm.

This observational study aims to detect levels of iron, alpha-synuclein, and soluble lymphocyte activation gene 3 in acute ischemic stroke patients. And to see expressions of iron, alpha-synuclein, and lymphocyte activation gene 3 in the brain tissue of ischemic rats. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there an association between iron and alpha-synuclein accumulation in ischemic stroke? Is there any change in soluble lymphocyte activation gene levels in ischemic stroke and if these levels are related to stroke severity and infarction size? . Can soluble lymphocyte activation gene levels be used as an early biomarker to diagnose ischemic stroke?

The goal of this observational, practice-based feasibility study is to observe the efficacy and safety of intramuscular administration of Stempeucel® in Malaysian patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) due to peripheral arterial disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can intramuscular administration of Stempeucel® reduce symptoms of CLI due to peripheral arterial disease while improving the healing rate and functional outcomes? Does intramuscular administration of Stempeucel® causes any serious adverse events in CLI due to peripheral arterial disease patients? Study patients will be assessed by the PI before administering the Stempeucel® for any other organ with inflammation. The study patients will also be followed up to the duration of 1 year after study treatment administration for safety and efficacy assessment.

Extensive research is being conducted in search of neuroprotective agents for possible use in the acute phase of stroke and agents that can be used for neurorepair in later stages of stroke. Several trials have been conducted and are in progress using different pharmacological agents, but none of the studies involve the stimulation of ETB receptors to treat cerebral ischemic stroke. Sovateltide (IRL-1620, PMZ-1620) has been effective in animal models of cerebral ischemic stroke. Its safety and tolerability have been demonstrated in a human phase I study with 7 subjects. Clinical phase II and III results indicate that sovateltide is a novel, first-in-class, highly effective drug candidate for treating cerebral ischemic stroke. Safety and significant efficacy in improving the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Modified Rankin scale (mRS), and Barthel index (BI) obtained in phase II and III studies in patients with cerebral ischemic stroke in India are convincing and encouraged us to investigate its safety and efficacy in cerebral ischemic stroke patients in the United States. Therefore, the plan is to conduct a phase III clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sovateltide therapy along with standard of care in patients of acute ischemic stroke.

The aim of this trial is to investigate the coping strategies/physiological flexibility construct in patients hospitalized for ischemic cardiovascular disease and the possible association with recurrence of clinical events (any hospitalization and type thereof, myocardial infarction, stroke and death) during the follow up, the patient's decision to participate to clinical trials approved in the center and the adherence to cardiovascular medications.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of evolocumab in combination with statin therapy (atorvastatin) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

In developed countries, stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of permanent disability. Systemic and endovascular thrombolytic treatments in acute cerebral ischemic stroke caused by occlusion of large caliber vessels are currently the standard of care for the acute treatment of stroke. The rationale of this study is to validate the results of this treatment on a large scale, in the context of what can be called "real life". The study will have the characteristics of a descriptive observational study on patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke treated at the Policlinico A. Gemelli-IRCCS from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2023. These data will be compared with a retrospective control group of patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy for cerebral ischemic stroke in our polyclinic. The primary endpoint is the outcome of patients treated with mechanical endovascular thrombectomy evaluated with the modified Ranking Scale at 90 days, while as secondary endpoints some individual characteristics of the patient will be considered (sex, age, clinical history, etc.), characteristics of the thrombus (anatomical-pathological, radiological etc) and related to acute management (therapy, rehabilitation, etc).

Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) in stroke has demonstrated robust neuroprotection in animals especially after ischemia-reperfusion injury, but its safety and efficacy remain controversial. The investigators propose this trial to study the clinical and radiological effects of therapeutic hypothermia in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with intravascular thrombectomy (IVT).

The investigator aims to find a correlation between brain structure and activity and spontaneous recovery of motor function following brain ischemic stroke by Analysis of MRI scans. The research includes stroke patients and healthy patients (control group).
