About this study

Official title: Safety of Maraviroc for Post-stroke Depression (Proof-of-concept)

Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a barrier to effective rehabilitation and recovery after stroke. Current treatment options are limited and there is an unmet need for specific and effective therapeutic options.

Objective: To examine the safety and efficacy of Maraviroc, a CCR5 antagonist, as a possible add-on treatment option for PSD, in an open-labeled proof-of-concept clinical trial.

Design, Setting, and Participants: A 10-week trial of daily oral 300 mg Maraviroc in ten patients with subcortical stroke suffering from PSD. Follow-up: eight weeks after completing treatment.

Main Outcome Measure: A change in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS).

Being tested
Maraviroc 300 mg

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Maraviroc 300 mg in people with Post-stroke Depression, run by Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 16 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 6 Jul 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 Israel. 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.

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 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?

Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) (time frame: 10 weeks). 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 NCT05932550, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Jul 2023.
