What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Danhong injectionDrug

    Also called A kind of injection made from two kind of Chinese herbs: Salvia miltiorrhiza and Safflower.

    40ml Danhong injection added into 250ml 0.9% saline by an independent research nurse, sealed with brown bag in order to make the investigators and patients blinded, using brown infusion tube for infusion

  • Standard medical careProcedure or surgery

    Standard medical care is in accordance with China Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke (2010), including medical care for vital signs, control of temperature, blood pressure and glucose, improving cerebral blood circulation, antiplatelet treatment and nutritional supportive care.

  • placeboDrug

    0.9% saline added into 250ml 0.9% saline by an independent research nurse, sealed with brown bag in order to make the investigators and patients blinded, using brown infusion tube for infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Danhong injection and Standard medical care in people with Acute Stroke, run by China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences at 4 sites 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 12 inclusion and 25 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 15 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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. 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?

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?

Modified Rankin Scale 0-1 (favourable outcome) at Day 90 (time frame: Day 90). 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 15 Jul 2020.
