About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Mildronate for Acute Ischemic Stroke: a Randomized, Double-blind, Active-controlled Phase II Multicenter Trial

Mildronate an inhibitor of carnitine-dependent metabolism, is considered an anti-ischemic drug. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mildronate injection in treating acute ischemic stroke.

Read the detailed description

A randomized, double-blind, multi-center clinical study was made on mildronate injection for treating acute cerebral infarction. 113 cases in the experimental group were given with mildronate injection, while 114 cases in the active-control group were given with cinepazide maleate injection. In addition, both groups were given aspirin as basic treatments. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 2 weeks and 3 months, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score and Barthel Index score at 2 weeks after treatment, vital signs and adverse events were evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing mildronate injection, cinepazide maleate injection and aspirin in people with Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by Xijing Hospital 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 12 Apr 2013. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

the modified Rankin scale (time frame: 3 months). 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 12 Apr 2013.
