About this study
Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind and Placebo-controlled Clinical Research of 2200 Cases in Improving Curative Effect of Secondary Prevention for Patients With Ischemic Stroke Through Syndrome Differentiation of TCM
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Naoxintong Capsule in the secondary prevention of ischemic stroke by the multi-center, randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled trial design project.
Read the detailed description
The research employs a random, double-blind, multicenter, placebo parallel and controlled design to observe the clinical effect of Naoxintong capsule in the treatment in ischemic stroke of the blood stasis syndrome on the secondary prevention,which is funded by Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality.The therapeutic drug of the research is Naoxintong capsule on the market for treatment and prevention of stroke, applicable to stroke patients caused by qi deficiency, blood stasis and venation stasis.The research will be carried out in 24 hospitals.It is a total number of 2200 volunteers,who will meet the inclusion criteria other than the exclusion criteria and agree to participate in the research.Volunteers will be randomly assigned to the experimental group or the control group. The trial drug for the experimental group is Naoxintong capsule, while that for the control group is a kind of placebo capsule.Volunteers will be regularly followed up during the experimental period of 2 years. It will be to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Naoxintong capsule on the secondary prevention by the stroke recurrence and mortality.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Naoxintong Capsule in people with Ischemic Stroke, run by Xiaofei Yu at 24 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 19 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 24 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. 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?
Stroke recurrence rate and Stroke mortality (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02334969, which also lists 9 linked publications.
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 19 Nov 2018.
