About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacodynamic characteristics of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hUC-MSCs) in adults with ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation during the recovery phase. Researchers will compare hUC-MSCs to a placebo to determine whether hUC-MSCs treatment is effective in treating recovery-phase anterior circulation ischemic stroke.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years and ≤70 years, regardless of gender.

14 to 90 days after ischemic stroke.

Clinical diagnosis of anterior circulation ischemic stroke.

National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score is 6-20 points (inclusive), with NIHSS motor arm (item 5) or motor leg (item 6) score of 2-4 points, and NIHSS level of consciousness item (1a) score <2 points.

Disqualifiers

People who had a history of epilepsy, dementia, Parkinson's disease, severe depression, or other neurological or psychiatric disorders.

Intracranial hemorrhagic conditions.

Pre-stroke mRS score >1.

Severe cardiovascular disease.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Fugl-Meyer Assessment motor score

The Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) is a stroke-specific, performance-based scale used to evaluate motor impairment. Its motor score, which ranges from 0 to 100, serves as a key parameter for quantifying motor recovery, where a higher score indicates better motor function.

Time frame
12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Modified Rankin Scale

The Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is designed to evaluate the degree of dependence in daily activities rather than specific impairments. The mRS is a simple ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 6, where 0 indicates no symptoms and 6 indicates death. A lower score on the scale signifies a better level of independence and a lower degree of disability.

Time frame
12 months
2

National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale

The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is designed to evaluate the effects of a stroke on key functional domains such as consciousness, vision, motor strength, sensation, and language.The NIHSS score ranges from 0 to 42, with a higher score indicating more severe neurological deficits.

Time frame
12 months
3

Barthel Index

The Barthel Index (BI) is commonly employed to evaluate functional disability and monitor rehabilitation progress in patients with chronic conditions or following events such as stroke. The total score ranges from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a greater degree of functional independence.

Time frame
12 months
4

Mini-Mental State Examination

The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a standardized screening tool designed to provide a quick assessment of an individual's global cognitive function.The total score ranges from 0 to 30, with a higher score indicating better cognitive performance.

Time frame
12 months
