About this study
Official title: Xingnaojing for Moderate-to-severe Acute Ischemic Stroke (XMAS): A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Open-label, Blinded Endpoint Clinical Trial.
The main purpose of this trial is to determine whether Xingnaojing, intravenously administered within 24 hours of symptom onset, improves the 3-month outcome in participants with acute ischemic stroke.
Read the detailed description
Xingnaojing is widely used in China, but there is lack of high-quality evidence of its efficacy for acute ischemic stroke currently. The primary hypothesis of this trial is that Xingnaojing will increase the proportion of people alive and independent at three months. Xingnaojing, combined with guidelines-based standard care, will be compared to standard care alone in patients with acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours of symptom onset. All patients will have a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) entry score of 5-20. Patients in each group will be treated according to the guidelines-based standard care, including intravenous thrombolysis if appropriate. The primary outcome will be determined at 3 months.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Proportion of patients independent
Proportion of patients independent is defined as Modified Rankin Scale score of 0, 1, or 2.
Measured: 90 days
Secondary outcomes (8)
Comparison of the change in the NIHSS scores from baseline to 10 days in the two groups.
The NIHSS score ranges from 0 (best score) to 42 (worst score).
Measured: Baseline and 10 days.
Activities of daily living
Activities of daily living measured by Barthel Index score at 30 days and 90 days.
Measured: 30 days and 90 days
Patient reported outcome (PRO) scale of stroke
Patient reported outcome (PRO) scale of stroke at 10 days.
Measured: 10 days
Early neurologic deterioration (END)
Early neurologic deterioration is defined as an increase of 3 points or more in the NIHSS score between baseline and 48 hours.
Measured: Baseline and 48 hours
Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage (sICH)
Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage (sICH) within 10 days of stroke onset. (Any ICH related to a decline in neurologic status or the development of new neurologic symptoms which in the judgment of the clinical investigator was related to the ICH.)
Measured: 10 dyas
Deaths from any cause
Number of deaths from any cause within 10 days and 90 days after symptom onset.
Measured: 10 days, 90 days
Safety end points - Number of patients with any adverse events, results of electrocardiography, vital signs and laboratory tests (complete blood count, chemistry and urinalysis).
Number of patients with any adverse events, results of electrocardiography, vital signs and laboratory tests (complete blood count, chemistry and urinalysis).
Measured: 10 days

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Xingnaojing injection in people with Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing 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 4 inclusion and 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 2019. 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 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?
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?
Proportion of patients independent (time frame: 90 days). 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 NCT02728180, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 4 Oct 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
