What is being measured

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

  1. lesion volume

    measured by MRI

    Measured: day 1

  2. hemorrhage volume

    measured by MRI

    Measured: day 1

  3. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)

    The NIHSS score ranges from 0 to 42 points. The higher the score, the more severe the neurological impairment.

    Measured: day 1

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. lesion volume

    measured by MRI

    Measured: day3

  2. lesion volume

    measured by MRI

    Measured: day7

  3. lesion volume

    measured by MRI

    Measured: day90

  4. hemorrhage volume

    measured by MRI

    Measured: day3

  5. hemorrhage volume

    measured by MRI

    Measured: day7

  6. hemorrhage volume

    measured by MRI

    Measured: day14

  7. hemorrhage volume

    measured by MRI

    Measured: day90

  8. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)

    The NIHSS score ranges from 0 to 42 points. The higher the score, the more severe the neurological impairment.

    Measured: day3

  9. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)

    The NIHSS score ranges from 0 to 42 points. The higher the score, the more severe the neurological impairment.

    Measured: day7

  10. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)

    The NIHSS score ranges from 0 to 42 points. The higher the score, the more severe the neurological impairment.

    Measured: day14

  11. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)

    The NIHSS score ranges from 0 to 42 points. The higher the score, the more severe the neurological impairment.

    Measured: day90

  12. The Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    The mRS score ranges from 0 to 7 points. The higher the score, the more severe the neurological recovery state of stroke patients.

    Measured: day1

  13. The Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    The mRS score ranges from 0 to 7 points. The higher the score, the more severe the neurological recovery state of stroke patients.

    Measured: day3

  14. The Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    The mRS score ranges from 0 to 7 points. The higher the score, the more severe the neurological recovery state of stroke patients.

    Measured: day7

  15. The Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    The mRS score ranges from 0 to 7 points. The higher the score, the more severe the neurological recovery state of stroke patients.

    Measured: day14

  16. The Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    The mRS score ranges from 0 to 7 points. The higher the score, the more severe the neurological recovery state of stroke patients.

    Measured: day90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dimethyl Fumarate in people with Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing.

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 1 inclusion and 11 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2023. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

lesion volume (time frame: day 1). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Oct 2023.
