Condition(s) targeted: Cerebral Infarction

Intervention: Human Serum Albumin 20 (Biological); 0.9 % Normal Saline (Drug)

Phase: Phase 2

Status: Terminated

Sponsored by: Seoul St. Mary's Hospital

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):

Summary

In this clinical study, the efficacy and safety of ALbumin is to be evaluated for the patients occurred within 12 hours of acute ischemic stroke.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Phase IIB Placebo Comparative, Double Blinded, Randomized, Multi-center Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of ALbumin Therapy in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients in Korea.

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Average change in NIHSS

Secondary outcome:

NIHSS Score

Proportion of patients with improvement by NIHSS

modified Rankin Scale(mRS) favorable outcome

Volume difference on diffusion MRI

Recurrent new ischemic lesions on diffusion MRI

Detailed description: According to the statistics of the cause of death in 2008 by the Statistics Korea, the stroke was accounted for a large proportion of cause of death among adults, as well as higher mortality, severe sequelae. These stroke in acute phase showed neurological deterioration over 50% of the patients after beginning of treatment and the sequelae resulting in that the nervous tissue was not regenerated is regarded as irreversible changes. The test group administered 20% albumin based on 1. 25g/kg (up to 100g (500ml) over 80kg body weight) to the patients occurred within 12 hours of the onset of symptoms and equal amount of placebo (saline solution (0. 9% normal saline)) administered to the control group will be compared to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ALbumin for the patients with acute ischemic stroke.
