About this study

To study the effects of Erigeron Injection on human serum VEGF, MMP-9 and EPC levels after acute cerebral infarction,test is made by random double-blind controlled.patients with acute cerebral infarction were divided randomly into erigeron injection+aspirin group,aspirin group,and health people. The main indexes are the serum level of VEGF, MMP-9 and EPC.The review is made by the reference to NIHSS and so on. So, Erigeron Injection have the function of promoting angiogenesis in multiple targets through this test.

OBJECTIVE:

To study the effects of Erigeron Injection on human serum VEGF, MMP-9 and EPC levels after acute cerebral infarction.

METHOD:

40 patients with acute cerebral infarction(in accordance with the inclusion criteria) were divided randomly into erigeron injection+aspirin group,aspirin group,and 20 health people. Erigeron injection+aspirin group and aspirin group drew peripheral blood on the prior treatment,the posttreatment 1th, 3th and 7th day,and tested the level of VEGF, MMP-9 and EPC.Tested the health people one time.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Erigeron Injection in people with Cerebral Infarction, run by Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

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 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2013. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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?

Contact Jianwen Guo, doctor (0086-13724899379, jianwen_guo@msn.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the serum level of VEGF,MMP-9 and EPC (time frame: 0-7days). 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 21 Aug 2013.
