Trial summary

Intrastent restenosis is a common complication after intracranial and extracranial arterial stenting and an important cause of recurrent ischemic stroke. Studies have shown that Tongxinluo capsule can protect the injured inner cells, reduce inflammation, inhibit the proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells… Read more about this study

About this study

Intrastent restenosis is a common complication after intracranial and extracranial arterial stenting and an important cause of recurrent ischemic stroke. Studies have shown that Tongxinluo capsule can protect the injured inner cells, reduce inflammation, inhibit the proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells, inhibit the proliferation of plaque and nourish blood vessels, and resist arteriosclerosis. This study was a multicenter prospective randomized controlled clinical trial. Participants with intracranial and extracranial atherosclerotic stenosis who successfully underwent arterial stenting were included in the study, and were divided into Tongxinluo test group and control group. Clinical and related auxiliary examination data were collected at each follow-up point. To explore the effectiveness and potential mechanism of Tongxinluo capsule in preventing and treating restenosis after intracranial and external arterial stenting, and to provide reference for expanding clinical use of traditional Chinese medicine.

Read the detailed description

Study participants aged 45-80 years who met the criteria for symptomatic or asymptomatic cerebral artery stenosis and successfully underwent cerebrovascular stenting were randomly divided into test group and control group. On the basis of routine oral treatment ,participants in experimental group were given Tongxinluo capsule. The control group received routine oral treatment. The routine follow-up sites were 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, and clinical data and blood were collected at the initial diagnosis and each follow-up site. SPSS software was used to analyze whether Tongxinluo capsule could reduce restenosis after intracranial and extracranial arterial stenting. During the follow-up, the adverse reactions such as bleeding and gastrointestinal tract were observed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes of vascular stenosis rate after intracranial and extracranial arterial stenting

    According to NASCET experimental measurement standards, stenosis rate = (normal vascular lumen diameter - residual diameter at stenosis)/normal vascular lumen diameter *100%. Comparison of CTA or DSA to evaluate the change of vascular stenosis rate after intracranial and extracranial arterial stenting; The incidence of cerebral ischemic events and intracranial hemorrhage events (responsible vessels and non-responsible vessels) were assessed by MR. Blood routine, liver and kidney function, blood lipids and hsCRP were recorded. The incidence and mortality of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage were analyzed. Adverse events (e.g. abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, bleeding, etc.)

    Measured: The 12th month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tongxinluo capsule and Primary therapy in people with Stent Restenosis, run by Yanbin Li.

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 3 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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 of vascular stenosis rate after intracranial and extracranial arterial stenting (time frame: The 12th month). 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 1 Nov 2023.
