Details and patient eligibility

About

CHIMES is a double blind, placebo controlled, randomized, multicenter study to test the hypothesis that NeuroAid is superior to placebo in reducing neurological deficit and improving functional outcome in patients with cerebral infarction of an intermediate range of severity.

Full description

Stroke is a major cause of death and disability. Previous clinical studies performed in China have shown that NeuroAiD increase stroke patients'recovery in terms of neurological disability and functional outcome{Chen et al,2009}and thus may be beneficial as part of a post-stroke rehabilitation programme.

In the CHIMES study,we seek to test the hypothesis that NeuroAiD is superior to a placebo in reducing neurological deficit and improving functional outcome in patients recruited within 72 h after the ischemic stroke with intermediate range of severity {6<_NIHSS<_14}.More details of the study protocol have recently been published {Venketasubramanian et al,2009}.

  • Female subject is eligible to participate in the trial if she is of non-childbearing potential (i.e. physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant, including any female who is post menopausal)
  • Subject or his/her legally acceptable representative is willing to provide written informed consent
  • Subject is presented with cerebral infarction with compatible imaging at Computed Tomography (CT) scan or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Time window is less than 72 hours after symptoms onset
  • Subject with cerebral infarction with intermediate severity range: 6 ≤ NIHSS ≤ 14

Exclusion criteria

  • Subjects deemed unstable by investigator after thrombolysis treatment
  • Subject has evidence of intra-cerebral hemorrhage on brain CT scan or MRI
  • Subject has a rapidly improving neurological deficit
  • Subject has definite indication for full-dose or long-term anticoagulation therapy
  • Subject has other significant non-ischemic brain lesion which could affect function disability
  • Subject has co-existing systemic diseases: terminal cancer, renal failure (creatinine > 200 μmol/L, if known), cirrhosis, severe dementia or psychosis
  • Subject has participated in another clinical trial within the last three months
