Safety and Efficacy of Edaravone Dexborneol Sublingual Tablets for Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction in CADASIL

Safety and Efficacy of Edaravone Dexborneol Sublingual Tablets for Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction in CADASIL: A Single-Center, Prospective, Single-Arm, Self-Controlled Clinical Trial.

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study is a single-center, prospective, single-arm, self-controlled clinical trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of edaravone dexborneol sublingual tablets for blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction in patients with CADASIL. The study will enroll approximately 60 participants aged 18 to 80 years with genetically confirmed CADASIL. Participants will be followed for a total duration of 12 months, including two consecutive phases. * Phase 1 is a 6-month natural history observation period, during which participants do not receive the study drug and continue their routine standard care for CADASIL. * Phase 2 is a 6-month drug intervention period, in which participants will receive edaravone dexborneol sublingual tablets to investigate the effect on the BBB water exchange rate (kw), measured by diffusion-prepared pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (DP-pCASL) MRI, and to assess potential benefits on stroke risk reduction, cognitive function, and gait performance. The primary endpoint is the change in kw measured by DP-pCASL. Secondary endpoints include the incidence of clinical stroke events; changes in neuropsychological performance, MRI-based CSVD biomarkers, gait and motor assessments, functional disability and activities-of-daily-living scales, and peripheral blood biomarkers. Safety assessments will include adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs).

Prior treatment

  • 5\. Contraindications to MRI: Participants with MRI-incompatible implants, severe claustrophobia, or inability to undergo MRI.

Other illness

  • 1\. Presence of other major neurological disorders: Non-vascular white matter diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis, carbon monoxide encephalopathy), central nervous system infections, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, primary Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury, or intracranial tumors.
  • 4\. Life Expectancy \<1 year due to severe systemic diseases.
  • 9\. Other Investigator-Determined Factors: Any other medical, psychological, or social condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the patient unsuitable for participation.

Lab values

  • 2\. Severe Liver Dysfunction: Active liver disease (acute hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis, cirrhosis) or ALT/AST \>2× ULN.
  • 3\. Severe renal impairment (serum creatinine \>1.5× ULN).
  • 6\. Known Allergies: History of hypersensitivity to Dexborneol, natural borneol, edaravone, or any excipients (e.g., mannitol, copovidone, microcrystalline cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate).

Other

  • 7\. Pregnancy and Lactation: Pregnant or lactating women, or those planning pregnancy during the study period.
  • 8\. Participation in Other Clinical Trials

Who the study is looking for

  • 2\. Age: Between 18 and 80 years.
  • 3\. Lacunar Lesion Requirement: Presence of ≥1 lacune on brain MRI.
  • 4\. No acute ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage within the past 3 months.
  • 5\. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0 to 3.
  • 6\. Contraception Requirements: Women of childbearing potential and male participants with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception during the study and 30 days after the last dose of the investigational drug.Female participants must have a negative pregnancy test before enrollment.
  • 7\. Informed Consent: Participants or their legal representatives must voluntarily sign an informed consent form (ICF).
