Intravenous N-Acetylcysteine for the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke
Randomized Placebo Controlled Trial of Intravenous N-Acetylcysteine for the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke
Forrás: ClinicalTrials.gov · Utoljára frissítve: 2026. febr. 19.
Rövid összefoglaló (regiszter, angolul)
Stroke is a major cause of death and long-term disability in the developed world. While t-PA and mechanical thrombectomy have been shown to decrease disability in properly selected patients, many patients are left with lifelong symptoms. There are currently limited options available for patients who are not candidates for treatment with t-PA and/or mechanical thrombectomy. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is an FDA approved antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent that has been used safely for many years in the treatment of acetaminophen overdose. In studies, the oral form has been shown to improve outcomes in acute ischemic stroke and has been shown to decrease the effects of ischemic brain injury in animal models. In a small human trial, it improved outcomes in patients suffering from mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). The intravenous formulation has a long safety record. It is not FDA approved for treating stroke but was reviewed by the FDA and was given an FDA IND for this study. The investigators propose a prospective randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy of administering intravenous N-acetylcysteine to patients with acute ischemic stroke. Eligible subjects will receive a commercially available form of intravenous NAC (Acetadote®) through for the first 20 hours following their enrollment. Patients enrolled who receive t-PA for thrombolysis will have their intravenous NAC infusion delayed for 24 hours after the completion of their t-PA infusion. Patients undergoing thrombectomy will be excluded from enrollment. Subjects will be evaluated by emergency department and/or division of neurology physicians at the time of enrollment, during their hospitalization, as well as 30 days and 90 days after enrollment. At each visit, subjects will be assessed for functional status and quality of life. This study is designed to compare the efficacy of intravenous N-acetylcysteine compared to normal treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Kiket keres a vizsgálat
- Consecutive subjects between ages 18 years or older evaluated in the emergency department at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center with signs and symptoms of acute ischemic stroke presenting within 24 hours of symptom onset. All individuals regardless of gender or race, who have an NIHSS of at least 5 will be eligible for this study to be included. For adults who cannot consent for themselves because of the severity of their stroke, one of the investigators will offer participation in the study to the family member who possesses the authority for medical decision making for the patient. There is no financial incentive for either the patient or the investigator. It will also be explained that the potential benefit of giving N-acetylcysteine is unknown and that the patient will receive excellent care (standard for their presentation) whether they participate or not and outside of not receiving the study drug.
- Our patients tend to be economically disadvantaged but since there are no financial incentives either for the patient or for the investigators, this bias has been minimized. Patients will receive the same care whether they participate in the study or decline.
