About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Sarecycline in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke After Reperfusion Therapy: A Phase II, Randomized, Multicenter, Double-blind, Single Dose, Placebo-controlled Parallel Trial

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sarecycline versus placebo in the treatment of microcirculation dysfunction after reperfusion therapy in patients with large vessel occlusion stroke.

Read the detailed description

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of 7-day Sarecycline versus placebo in patients with large vessel occlusion stroke who received reperfusion therapy within 24 hours of onset. In addition, we will explore the effect of Sarecycline versus placebo on indicators of venous thrombotic inflammation at different time points in patients with acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion.

This trial was a prospective, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel trial. Patients with acute large vessel occlusion stroke who received reperfusion therapy within 24 hours of onset were randomly assigned according to the ratio of the experimental group: control group =2:1.

The trial was divided into three phases: screening/baseline period, treatment period, and follow-up period. The primary research objective is to evaluate the effect of Sarecycline in improving neurological deficits at 7 days in patients with acute large vessel occlusion stroke who received reperfusion therapy within 24 hours of onset.

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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yilong Wang, PhD,MD (0086-010-67092222 ext. 0, yilong528@aliyun.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes of NIHSS score between baseline and at 7 days after randomization. (time frame: at 7 days after randomization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05836753, which also lists 13 linked publications.

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 20 Jul 2023.
