Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects in improving life self-care ability of stroke patients after taking Tongxinluo Capsule(within 72 hours after onset) versus Placebos for 90 days.

Read the detailed description

The study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-center trial. We aim to enroll a total of 1968 individuals(984 cases in each group) with acute ischemic stroke less than 72 hours after onset. Participants will be randomized into Tongxinluo capsule treatment group with the capsule administration of 4 granules tid. for 90 days, while the patients in the control group receive placebo capsule. NIH Stroke Score of the subjects is 4-22 at randomization. Evaluations of efficacy and safety will be taken at baseline, 7 days, discharge date and 90 days. Neuroimaging [magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans] will be obtained at baseline and 90 days after therapy. The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≤1 at 90 days.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) less than or equal to 1 at 90 days.

    Time frame: 90 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of patients with National Institutes of Health Stroke Score (NIHSS) reaching 0-1 or reduction 4 points .

    Time frame: Baseline, 7days, discharge date, 90 days

  2. Proportion of patients with Bathel Index(BI)score more than 85.

    Time frame: Baseline, 7days, discharge date, 90 days

  3. Continuous changes of Modified Rankin Scale score.

    Time frame: Baseline, 7days, discharge date, 90 days

  4. Incidence of ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ischemic stroke/TIA/ new ischemic lesion in MRI Images.

    Time frame: 90 days

  5. Incidence of new combination clinical vascular events (ischemic stroke/ hemorrhagic stroke/ TIA/ MI/ vascular death).

    Time frame: 90 days

Other outcomes

  1. MR indicated symptomatic or non-symptomatic cerebral infarction emerging

    Compared with baseline MRI, re-examination of MRI shows new infarct diagnosed by DWI or FLARI (including new infarct and enlargement of infarct size) in areas other than the original infarct in DWI and FLAIR-sequence.

    Time frame: 90 days
