About this study

Official title: Study Effects of Ultra-slow Continuous Intravenous Infusion of Unfractionated Heparin on Progressive Cerebral Infarction - a Clinical Study

A clinical trial to study the effects of dosage, infusion methods and complications of unfractionated heparin (UFH) treating acute progressive cerebral infraction was conducted. In this study, we observed the effects of four UFH treatments on 480 acute progressive cerebral infraction patients during from the 6th and the 72nd hour after the attack. It was concluded that the ultra-slow continuous intravenous infusion of UFH can significantly reduce the neurological deficit score of patients with progressive cerebral infarction, increase the cure rate, decrease the recurrence rate, and improve long-term quality of daily life. It is more effective than the treatment of intravenous infusion of low- molecular- weight UFH at once a day, and the risk of bleeding may not necessarily be increased.

Read the detailed description

Treatment' effectiveness rates of the four groups were 95.80%, 85.22%, 85.47%, and 87.72% respectively. The result of Group A was significantly different from those of Group B, C, and D (p <0.05). The adverse complication occurrence rates of the four groups were 5.88%, 3.48%, 4.27% and 3.51%.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. change of NIHSS at 4 weeks

    the ultra-slow continuous intravenous infusion of UFH can significantly reduce the neurological deficit score of patients with progressive cerebral infarction,

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. the recurrence rate at 6 months

    the ultra-slow continuous intravenous infusion of UFH can significantly decrease the recurrence rate of patients with progressive cerebral infarction,

    Measured: 6 months

  2. changs of ADL after 6 months

    the ultra-slow continuous intravenous infusion of UFH can significantly improve ADL of patients with progressive cerebral infarction

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Number of patients with Adverse Events

    The adverse complication occurrence rates of the four groups have no significantly different

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heparin Causing Adverse Effects in Therapeutic Use and Heparin-induced Thrombosis, run by Cangzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change of NIHSS at 4 weeks (time frame: 4 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Apr 2019.
