About this study

A study on the prediction model of carotid unstable plaque protein and its early intervention. Protein antibody chip was used to detect the remaining biological samples, and patients with carotid artery unstable plaque with stroke risk were selected for interventional clinical trials.

The selected patients were randomly divided into 3 groups, which were treated with Zhu's Wenban Formula (TCM compound granules), Qushi Formula (TCM compound granules) and placebo for 6 months, respectively. The size and number of carotid artery unstable plaques before and after 6 months were observed, and the occurrence of adverse reactions during the intervention period was observed.

What participants receive

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

  • Qushi FormulaDrug

    Qushi Formula are decoction granules composed 8 traditional Chinese medicines, such as poria cocos, Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Polyporus, cassia twig, dried ginger and licorice, Etc.

  • Zhu's Wenban FormulaDrug

    Zhu's Wenban granules are decoction granules composed of leech, panax notoginseng, Atractylodes Lancea and rhizome

  • placeboDrug

    The placebo was composed of dextrin, powdered sugar, starch, and liquid caramel in the same color as the other two groups.

  • Basic treatmentOther

    Basic diseases except hyperlipidemia were treated in accordance with the 2014 Chinese Guidelines for Secondary Prevention of Ischemic Stroke/Transient Ischemic Attack. Basic treatment includes conventional treatment such as comprehensive prevention and treatment (actively controlling basic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes and suggesting a good lifestyle), drug therapy (anti-inflammatory, lipid-regulating, anti-platelet aggregation, calcium channel blockers) and so on according to individual conditions of patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Qushi Formula, Zhu's Wenban Formula and Basic treatment in people with Protein; Disease and Carotid Artery Plaque, run by Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 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 7 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 14 Mar 2023. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Changes in carotid artery unstable plaque (time frame: 6 moths). 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 14 Mar 2023.
