Study summary

A randomized positived-controlled study of Diterpene Ginkgolides Meglumine Injection (DGMI) vs Ginaton in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) was conducted between7/2013 and 4/2014. The study was designed to test efficacy of DGMI for IS. Post hoc analysis of this trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of DGMI in elderly (aged≥65 years) IS patients.

Read the detailed description

To examine the efficacy of Diterpene Ginkgolides Meglumine Injection (DGMI) vs Ginaton in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) by age subgroups. The efficacy analysis was a post hoc analysis of data from a large randomized, controlled study was performed in a cohort of 998 IS patients. Patients were pooled and grouped by age (elderly aged ≥ 65 years and non-elderly aged \< 65 years).Proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) less than or equal to 1 at 90days is the primary outcome measure.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known severe liver or kidney dysfunction;
  • Known allergies for ingredients in the product;
  • Known medical condition likely to limit survival to less than 3 months;
  • Known dementia, mental impairment, or unsuitability for participation as judged by the investigators;

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Diterpene ginkgolides meglumine injection

    The intervention group received daily single infusions of 25 mg diterpene ginkgolides meglumine injection (DGMI) diluted with 250 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride injection for 14 days.

    Drug: Diterpene ginkgolides meglumine injection

  • Active comparator
    Ginaton

    The control group received once or twice a day infusion of 35-60mg Ginaton diluted with 250 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride injection for 14 days.

    Drug: Ginaton

Interventions

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Excellent functional outcome

    Excellent functional outcome defined as an Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≤ 1 at 90 days(scores ranged from 0 to 6, with 0 to 1 indicating no disability, 2 to 5 indicating increasing disability, and 6 indicating death)

    Time frame: 90 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Neurological deficit amelioration

    neurological deficit amelioration, which was defined as a change in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (range = 0-42, with higher scores indicating more severe strokes) from baseline to D14

    Time frame: 14 post-randomization days, 90days

  2. Patient quality of life

    Patient quality of life, as measured using the EuroQol questionnaire \[consisting of two parts: EuroQol-5 Dimension(EQ-5D) and EQ visual analog scale (EQ-VAS)\]. A value of 100 on this scale indicates a perfect score for health, whereas a score of 0 indicates death. The EQ-5D index score is measured on a scale of 0 (death) to 1 (full health).

    Time frame: 14 post-randomization days, 90days

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jul 2013 to primary completion in Apr 2014, 9 months.

Of 3,108 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Stroke, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46. This study's 9 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 3,252 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Dec 27, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
