About

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of edaravone dexborneol in treating acute ischemic stroke.

Full description

In this study, 1200 patients with acute ischemic stroke within 48 hours from the onset are included in several centres in China according to the principles of randomization, double-blind, and parallel control. The experimental group receives basic treatment and edaravone dexborneol injection for 7 consecutive days, and sequentially receives a sublingual dose of edaravone dexborneol for 21 consecutive days. The placebo group receives basic treatment and edaravone dexborneol placebo injection for 7 consecutive days and sequentially receives a sublingual dose of edaravone dexborneol placebo drug for 21 consecutive days. Two groups will be followed up at day 90 to evaluate the efficacy and safety of edaravone dexborneol in treating acute ischemic stroke.

Enrollment: 1,200 estimated patients

Sex: All

9. Complicated with malignant tumor or undergoing anti-tumor treatment;
10. Therapeutic neuroprotective agents have been applied after onset of stroke, including commercially available edaravone, nimodipine, ganglioside, citicoline, piracetam, butyl benzene peptides, Urinary Kallidinogenase, Ginkgolide.
11. Patients during pregnancy, lactation and planned pregnancy;
