Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke With Edaravone Dexborneol Sublingual Tablets in Small Vessel Disease

Summary

This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Edaravone Dexborneol Sublingual Tablets in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to small vessel disease (TASTE-SVD). The study will enroll approximately 600 participants aged 30 to 80 years who have experienced a recent small subcortical infarct (RSSI) confirmed by MRI. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into either the Edaravone Dexborneol Sublingual Tablets group or the placebo group, with a 24-week treatment period followed by a 28-week follow-up. The primary endpoint is a hierarchical composite endpoint at week 24, including all-cause mortality, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≥2, recurrent stroke, changes in MoCA score, and changes in VaDAS-Cog score. Secondary endpoints include additional functional and cognitive assessments at 24 and 52 weeks, as well as MRI markers of white matter hyperintensities, new infarctions, microbleeds, and brain atrophy. Safety assessments will include adverse events (AEs), treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), and serious adverse events (SAEs). The study aims to determine whether Edaravone Dexborneol Sublingual Tablets improve functional outcomes and cognitive performance in patients with small vessel disease-related stroke.
