Study summary

Previous clinical studies have confirmed that revascularization or recanalization rate after intravenous thrombolysis is closely related to the formation of thrombus, which also results in poor neurological function after thrombolysis. Platelet activating factor (PAF) strong platelet aggregation may be involved in thrombosis. Formation process. The main components of Ginkgolide injection (Ginkgo) are ginkgolide, ginkgolides A, ginkgolides B and ginkgolides C. Ginkgo biloba lactone can antagonize PAF and has strong anti-platelet aggregation. . Therefore, it can be speculated that ginkgolides injection combined with alteplase intravenous thrombolysis may improve the recanalization rate after thrombolysis and reduce the reocclusion rate.

In addition, clinical studies have also found that ginkgolide injection has a good auxiliary effect on hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, which can regulate inflammatory factors such as IL-6, TNF-α and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients. Recovery of neurological function in patients. It is well known that TNF-α, IL-β, IL-1, IL-6, IFN-γ, etc. are all inflammatory factors associated with reperfusion injury. Therefore, we speculate that ginkgolides injection may also regulate inflammatory factors associated with reperfusion injury, such as IL-6, TNF-α, thereby reducing reperfusion injury, thereby improving patient prognosis.

The aim of this study was to determine the clinical efficacy of ginkgolides injection combined with alteplase in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, and to improve the prognosis of patients with thrombolysis.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. proportion of patients with a 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score below 2

    mRS 0-6, higher indicate worse outcome

    Time frame: 90 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) scores between the two groups at baseline, 24 hours, 7 days, and 14 days

    NIHSS 0-42, and higher indicate worse outcome

    Time frame: 14 days

  2. recurrence rate of cerebrovascular disease in 1-month and 3-month follow-up

    Time frame: 3 months

  3. incidence of compound events (include cerebrovascular events,myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, and systemic embolism)

    Time frame: 1 year

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 6, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
