Efficacy of Diterpene Ginkgolides Meglumine Injection in Elderly Patients With Ischemic Stroke
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A randomized positived-controlled study of Diterpene Ginkgolides Meglumine Injection (DGMI) vs Ginaton in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) was conducted between7/2013 and 4/2014. The study was designed to test efficacy of DGMI for IS. Post hoc analysis of this trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of DGMI in elderly (aged≥65 years) IS patients.

Detailed Description
To examine the efficacy of Diterpene Ginkgolides Meglumine Injection (DGMI) vs Ginaton in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) by age subgroups. The efficacy analysis was a post hoc analysis of data from a large randomized, controlled study was performed in a cohort of 998 IS patients. Patients were pooled and grouped by age (elderly aged ≥ 65 years and non-elderly aged < 65 years).Proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) less than or equal to 1 at 90days is the primary outcome measure.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Excellent functional outcome [90 days]
Excellent functional outcome defined as an Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≤ 1 at 90 days(scores ranged from 0 to 6, with 0 to 1 indicating no disability, 2 to 5 indicating increasing disability, and 6 indicating death)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Neurological deficit amelioration [14 post-randomization days, 90days]
neurological deficit amelioration, which was defined as a change in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (range = 0-42, with higher scores indicating more severe strokes) from baseline to D14
- Patient quality of life [14 post-randomization days, 90days]
Patient quality of life, as measured using the EuroQol questionnaire [consisting of two parts: EuroQol-5 Dimension(EQ-5D) and EQ visual analog scale (EQ-VAS)]. A value of 100 on this scale indicates a perfect score for health, whereas a score of 0 indicates death. The EQ-5D index score is measured on a scale of 0 (death) to 1 (full health).
