Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older diagnosed with their first acute ischemic stroke and with a baseline NIHSS score between 3 and 25.

Probably not a fit

Patients with cerebral hemorrhage, severe allergies to HUK, or those with a life expectancy of less than three months may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effects of Human Urinary Kallidinogen (HUK) on inflammatory factors in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). It involves a total of 200 patients who will be divided into two groups: one receiving HUK treatment within 48 hours of stroke onset and the other receiving standard clinical treatment. The study will monitor changes in inflammatory markers and assess the correlation between these factors and patient outcomes over a 90-day follow-up period. The aim is to clarify the efficacy and safety of HUK in the acute phase of AIS.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve recovery outcomes for patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel, previous studies have explored the role of inflammatory factors in stroke recovery, indicating potential for success.
