    Effect of Cerebrolysin on the Blood Brain Barrier in Patients With Diabetes and Ischemic Stroke

    NCT06273020

    17 Nov 2022 to est. Dec 2024

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

A prospective, single-center study would be carried out in the Neurology Department of the University Hospital "Dr. José Eleuterio González" in order to analyze the effect of cerebrolysin on the blood-brain-barrier in patients with ischemic stroke with personal history of type-2 diabetes

Interventions

  • CerebrolysinDrug
  • Brain-MRI with contrast after 10-14 days of cerebrolysinProcedure

Arms3

  • Experimental

    Intravenous thrombolysis and cerebrolysin

    Group 1: 20 patients with previous intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in the qualifying stroke and who agreed to receive and got selected (through randomization) cerebrolysin. Cerebrolysin would be prepared according to manufacturer's instructions: 30 mL of cerebrolysin in 100 ml of saline solution every 24 hours to a minimum of 10 days and a maximum of 14 days

  • Active comparator

    Intravenous thrombolysis without cerebrolysin

    Group 2 : 20 patients with previous IVT in the qualifying stroke and who agreed to receive cerebrolysin but they were not choose through randomization.

  • Other

    Patients with cerebrolysin without IVT

    Group 3: 20 patients that they were not candidates to receive IVT (out of therapeutic window) but agreed to receive cerebrolysin (randomization not used) Cerebrolysin would be prepared according to manufacturer's instructions: 30 mL of cerebrolysin in 100 ml of saline solution every 24 hours to a minimum of 10 days and a maximum of 14 days

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Blood-Brain-Barrier Permeability after 10-14days of cerebrolysin in patients with AIS of the middle cerebral artery

    Time frame · After 10-14 days of cerebrolysin

    Registry description

    Blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption will be measured using dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).DSC MRI is collected during the injection of a gadolinium bolus and the majority of the change in recorded signal in this T2\*-weighted sequence is due to intravascular contrast. However, in the setting of gadolinium leakage through the BBB into the brain parenchyma, the recorded signal is altered by a T1 effect. An arrival time correction is performed to account for regional difference in blood flow after which the signal is separated into an intravascular and an extravascular component using a comparison with unaffected tissue. The extravascular component is captured with the metric K2 which reflects the fraction of the recorded signal that is due to gadolinium leakage and is a measure of BBB disruption.

Secondary outcomes(3)
  1. Comparison of clinical severity, using NIH Stroke Scale in patients with and withouth cerebrolysin

    Time frame · After 10-14 days of cerebrolysin, and 30 days and 90days after hospital discharge

    Registry description

    The NIH Stroke Scale would be measured in all patients in the indicated time frames, and the results would be compared based among the 3 groups

  2. Comparison of functional prognosis, using modified Rankin scale in patients with and withouth cerebrolysin

    Time frame · After 10-14 days of cerebrolysin, and 30 days and 90days after hospital discharge

    Registry description

    The modified Rankin scale would be measured in all patients in the indicated time frames, and the results would be compared based among the 3 groups

  3. Comparison of cognitive impairment, using Montreal Cognitive Assessment in patients with and withouth cerebrolysin

    Time frame · fter 10-14 days of cerebrolysin, and 30 days and 90days after hospital discharge

    Registry description

    The Montreal Cognitive Assessment would be measured in all patients in the indicated time frames, and the results would be compared based among the 3 groups
