Roflumilast to Treat Cognitive Sequela After Stroke

A Proof of Concept Phase II Study With the PDE4 Inhibitor Roflumilast in People Suffering From Long-term Cognitive Sequela After Stroke

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Jan 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The aim of the current project is to validate the effects of chronic rolflumilast treatment (12 weeks) on cognitive functions (i.e. episodic memory) by means of behavioral tasks, in people suffering from cognitive impairments at least 1 year after stroke. Secondarily, the effects of roflumilast on daily activities and well-being will be assessed.
