Study summary

This study is a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo parallel controlled, investigator-sponsored study that aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of Edaravone Dexborneol treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke who had received early reperfusion therapy.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of Edaravone Dexborneol treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke who had received early reperfusion therapy. Patients who were eligible to the inclusion criteria and ineligible to the exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned into two groups by a 1:1 ratio after the ICF was received. Patients in one arm will be given 15 ml edaravone and dexborneol concentrated solution for injection (37.5 mg, containing edaravone 30 mg and dexborneol 7.5 mg) twice a day for 10-14 days, and those in the other arm will be given an equivalent placebo drug. All patients will be followed up for 90 days. The primary outcome is the proportion of modified Rankin Scale 0-2 and the safety outcome is the proportion of severe adverse events.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Favorable functional outcome

    Rate of favorable functional outcome defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS, scores range from 0 to 6, with 0 to 2 indicating favorable outcome and 3 to 6 indicating unfavorable outcome including 6 as death) score of 0-2

    Time frame: at 90 days after randomization

  2. Incidence of severe adverse event (Safety outcome)

    The incidence of Severe Adverse Event (SAE) emerged during the whole study period

    Time frame: at 90 days after randomization

Secondary outcomes

  1. Excellent functional outcome

    Rate of excellent functional outcome defined as a mRS score 0-1

    Time frame: at 90 days after randomization

  2. NIHSS score change

    The change of NIHSS score defined as the NIHSS score of day 10-14 minus that of baseline

    Time frame: at 10-14 days after randomization

  3. NIHSS score decreases ≥4

    Defined as the proportion of patients with NIHSS score decrease ≥ 4 from day 10-14 to baseline

    Time frame: at 10-14 days after randomization

  4. All-cause mortality

    All-cause mortality at 90 days after randomization

    Time frame: at 90 days after randomization

  5. Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH)

    The proportion of patients who experienced sICH

    Time frame: at 24-36 hours after randomization

  6. Neurological deterioration

    Defined as the NIHSS score increases ≥4 from day 1 to baseline

    Time frame: at day 1 after randomization

  7. Stroke recurrence

    Time frame: within 90 days after randomization
