Antithrombotic Therapy With Regulation of Blood Pressure in Non-Cardioembolic Progressive Stroke
China70 participantsStarted 2024-08-15
Plain-language summary
Stroke has become the leading cause of death in China, with acute ischemic stroke still progressing within one week of onset, known as progressive ischemic stroke (PIS), which has a high rate of disability and mortality, accounting for 23-43% of the incidence of stroke. Non-cardioembolic PIS is one of the common types, and the current treatment mainly focuses on antithrombotic therapy, but the therapeutic effect is not satisfactory. More and more evidence suggests that hypotension is an unfavorable factor for PIS, so this study intends to explore the efficacy and safety of antithrombotic therapy with regulation of blood pressure in non-cardioembolic PIS.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion criteria
. Adults (aged ≥18 years) with an AIS who have been able to complete usual activities in daily life without support before the stroke;
. One of the following PIS manifestations:
. Within 7 days of onset, when symptom worsens and there are new lesions or infarct growth on DWI within 24 hours of aggravation, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score increases by ≥ 2 points ;
. Within 24 hours after IVT, when symptom worsens and there are new lesions or infarct growth on DWI within 24 hours of aggravation, the NIHSS score increases by ≥ 4 points compared to the baseline;
. Within 3h of stroke progression, ≥2 successive measurements of systolic blood pressure (SBP) \< 160 mm Hg for \>10 min.
. Computed tomographic angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) confirms patients without visible large or medium-sized intracranial vessel occlusion.
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
percentage of patients with an excellent outcome（mRS score 0-1）at 90 days after randomization
. After stroke progression, a head CT confirmed new cerebral hemorrhage or hemorrhagic transformation.
. Endovascualr treatment had been performed before stroke progression (thrombectomy, stent placement, balloon dilatation) or if surgery or interventional treatment had been scheduled;
. Current treatment with heparin therapy or oral anticoagulation (presumed cardiac source of embolus, such as atrial fibrillation, prosthetic cardiac valve, and known or suspected endocarditis);
. Previous diseases of the brain that include intracranial hemorrhage or amyloid angiopathy; brain surgery or hemorrhagic stroke; stroke within the last three months;
. Preexisting serious diseases: Cancer, AIDS, serious heart disease, dementia, liver diseases such as liver failure, cirrhosis, portal hypertension and active hepatitis, acute or chronic severe renal impairment (glomerular filtration rate \< 30 ml/min/1·73 m2 );
