About this study

Official title: Resting State MRI Connectivity in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Serotonin Selective Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) in Enhancing Motor Recovery: a Placebo Controlled Study

Fluoxetine action on cerebral connectivity changes in acute ischemic stroke patients

Read the detailed description

In this placebo-controlled study, using functional resting state MRI, the investigators aim to investigate cerebral connectivity changes induced by fluoxetine given once a day for 90 days, in stroke patients with a moderate to severe motor deficit.

Conditions
Stroke
Being tested
Fluoxetine, Placebo, fMRI

What participants receive

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

  • FluoxetineDrug

    20 mg of fluoxetine capsule per day from D0 to D90

  • PlaceboDrug

    cellulose placebo per day from D0 to D90

  • fMRIRadiation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Intracerebral connectivity in the motor network between fluoxetine and placebo group.

    Intracerebral connectivity difference in the motor network, assessed by functional resting state MRI, between fluoxetine and placebo group after the treatment.

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Intracerebral connectivity in the motor network between good responders patients

    Intracerebral connectivity difference in the motor network, assessed by functional resting state MRI, in fluoxetine and placebo good responders patients, defined by :

    • 8 points gain on the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), assessed between D0 and D30 and between D0 and D90
    • or 2 points gain on the modified Rankin score (mRS) assessed between D0 and D30 and between D0 and D90.

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Intracerebral connectivity in the motor network between non-responders patients

    Intracerebral connectivity difference in the motor network, assessed by functional resting state MRI, in non-responders patients of fluoxetine and placebo group.

    Measured: 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Fluoxetine and fMRI in people with Stroke, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 2 sites in France.

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 8 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 28 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

Intracerebral connectivity in the motor network between fluoxetine and placebo group. (time frame: 90 days). 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 28 Aug 2023.
