About this study

Official title: The Feasibility and Outcome of Intravenous Thrombolysis for Stroke Patients in the 3-4.5 Hour Time Window in China

The time window for intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator treatment in ischemic stroke patients has been extended to 4.5h. Little is known about intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator use in the 3-4.5 hour time window among Chinese stroke patients. This exploratory study was to describe the feasibility and outcome of treatment with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in the expanded time window, and to offer suggestions for future clinical work in China.

Read the detailed description

Favorable clinical outcome of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was assessed by absolute changes in the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score at 24 hours and by the improvement of modified Rankin Scale score at discharge or 6-month follow-up. The safety of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was assessed by the rate of mortality, intracerebral hemorrhage and other common complications. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate factors associated with favorable clinical outcome.

What is being measured

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

  1. National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score and modified Rankin Scale

    Favorable clinical outcome of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was assessed by absolute changes in the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score at 24 hours and by the improvement of modified Rankin Scale score at discharge or 6-month follow-up

    Measured: Outcome measure will be assessed at 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke, run by Wuhan General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score and modified Rankin Scale (time frame: Outcome measure will be assessed at 24 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 10 Dec 2014.
