About this study

Neuroprotection is expected to be an important therapeutic strategy for acute ischemic stroke(AIS), but almost all neuroprotective drugs proved effective in rodent models have failed after entering clinical trials. This study aims to screen the differentially expressed proteins in peripheral blood of patients with acute ischemic stroke and with further study in the animal model of non-human primate cerebral infarction, we may determine the biomarkers that can evaluate the efficacy of neuroprotective drugs.

Read the detailed description

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS), is a major disease which cause death and disability. Globally, ischemic stroke is the second most common cause of death from vascular diseases and the third most common cause of disability. For decades, neuroprotection has been highly expected as an important treatment for cerebral ischemia, but almost all neuroprotective drugs proved effective in rodent models have failed in clinical trials. In this study, we enrolled patients with acute ischemic stroke, collecting their peripheral blood samples at 1 day and 3 months of onset. Neuropsychological scales evaluation and imaging evaluation were also completed at 1 day, 7 day and 3 months of onset respectively. Correlation research in combination with the patient's clinical information were conducted to preliminarily screen the proteins related to the prognosis of neurological function, which was reflected by patients' mRS scores at 3 months of onset, in peripheral blood. Further study in the animal model of non-human primate cerebral infarction may determine the biomarkers that can evaluate the efficacy of neuroprotective drugs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proteins related to the Modified Rankin Scale(mRS) score of 3 months.

    Disability by the Modified Rankin Scale(mRS) score ranging from 0-6. Higher score indicates worse function.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. National Institute of Health stroke scale(NIHSS) score at 3 months.

    Disability by the National Institute of Health stroke scale(NIHSS) score ranging from 0-42. Higher score indicates worse function.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)

    Cognitive assessment by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) ranging from 0 to 30. Lower score indicates worse cognitive function.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)

    Depression assessment by Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS) ranging from 0 to 80. Higher score indicates worse status.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)

    Anxiety assessment by Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS) ranging from 0 to 80. Higher score indicates worse status.

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)

    Sleep quality assessment by Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI) ranging from 0-21. Higher score indicates worse sleep quality.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University 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 5 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 19 Jan 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Proteins related to the Modified Rankin Scale(mRS) score of 3 months. (time frame: 3 months). 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 19 Jan 2023.
