A Trial of HRS8179 on Brain Swelling After Large Hemispheric Infarction
China40 participantsStarted 2023-04-07
Plain-language summary
The primary objective is to explore if HRS8179 could improve midline shift at 72 hours (or at time of decompressive craniectomy or comfort measures only, if earlier) in participants with large hemispheric infarction. The secondary objective is to explore if HRS8179 could improve acute neurologic status, functional outcomes, treatment requirements and safety.

Inclusion criteria
. Fully understand and voluntarily participate in this research, and sign the informed consent form (the informed consent form can be signed voluntarily by the person or legal representative);
. Aged 18\~80, regardless of gender;
. A clinical diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory;
. NIHSS ≥ 10 points at screening;
. A large hemispheric infarction is defined as: lesion volume of 80 to 300 cm3 on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), or computed tomography perfusion (CTP).

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
The change between baseline and 72-78 hours in midline shift measured by MRI or CT
. The investigator judges that the subject may withdrawn the supportive treatment on the first day; The investigator believes that there is evidence indicating a concurrent infarction in the contralateral hemisphere sufficiently serious to affect functional outcome.3. There are clinical signs of brain hernia;
. CT/MRI suggested that the anterior septal/pineal excursion was \>2 mm due to brain edema;
. CT/MRI indicates cerebral hemorrhage (excluding small ecchymosis/punctate hemorrhage);
