About this study

Ischemic stroke has a variety of treatments and currently drug therapy is one of the main treatments.A number of clinical studies have proved that alprostadil (PGE1) has pharmacological effects of significant dilation of blood vessels, inhibition of plate aggregation, anti-atherosclerosis and increased cerebral blood flow.Evaluate the 90-days efficacy by comparing two groups of patients'(one with alprostadil,another with placebo) mRS.

What participants receive

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

  • AlprostadilDrug

    Alprostadil injection USP for intravascular infusion contains 500 micrograms Alprostadil, more commonly known as prostaglandin E1. Vasodilation, inhibition of platelet aggregation are among the most notable of these effects.

    2ml Alprostadil injection added into 10ml 0.9% saline.

  • Normal salineDrug

    2ml normal saline injection added into 10ml 0.9% saline.

What is being measured

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

  1. Modified Rankin Scale at Day 90

    Measured: day 90

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Incidence of major vascular events in 30 or 90 days including ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke

    Major adverse vascular events include ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, TIA, myocardial infarction and vascular-related death.

    Measured: day 30, day 90

  2. Incidence of stroke events in 30 or 90 days including ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke

    Measured: day 30, day 90

  3. Barthel Index score

    compared the changes in activities of daily living (Barthel index) between the two groups

    Measured: day 30, day 90

  4. EQ-5D scale

    compared the changes in EQ-5D scale

    Measured: day 30, day 90

  5. Documentation of adverse events (AEs)

    compared the rates of adverse events

    Measured: day 30, day 90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Alprostadil and Normal saline in people with Stroke, run by The First Hospital of Jilin University.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Apr 2024. 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?

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 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 1 Apr 2024.
