AI summary: who the study is looking for

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults aged 18-70 who recently had an ischemic stroke caused by a blocked artery in the front part of the brain. It tests a nasal treatment made from stem cell-derived vesicles.

Age
18 to 70 years
Sex
All sexes can join.
Disease stage
Ischemic stroke with a confirmed blockage in the anterior circulation (CTA or MRA). Within 24 hours to 14 days of stroke onset. Post-stroke ASPECTS score 6 or higher and NIHSS score 6 or higher before enrollment. Pre-stroke mRS score of 0-1.
Earlier treatment
People who have not received thrombolysis or endovascular treatment can join. People who took other trial drugs in the past 3 months cannot join.
Biomarker or test result
Liver and kidney tests must be near normal: ALT and AST up to 2.5 times the upper limit of normal, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen up to 1.25 times. No significant heart problems.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Bleeding in the brain on CT, including hemorrhagic stroke
  • Known bleeding tendency, such as platelet count < 100×10^9/L
  • Brain tumor, epilepsy or severe head injury in the past
  • Serious infection, immune deficiency, or taking immunosuppressants; hepatitis B surface antigen positive
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women
