Study of a new drug for acute stroke from narrowed brain arteries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a drug called urinary kallidinogenase can help people who have had a stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain. The drug is given within 48 hours of the stroke, and the study hopes to see if it improves recovery and reduces disability.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must have had a stroke caused by a blocked artery in the brain (known as a large artery stroke) within the last 48 hours.
- Your stroke should be moderately severe but not too severe, with a score between 6 and 15 on a standard stroke assessment scale.
- The blocked artery in your brain must have moderate to severe narrowing or be completely blocked.
- You must have been able to do your usual daily activities without help before the stroke (a score of 2 or less on a disability scale).
- You must not have already received clot-busting medication or a procedure to remove the clot for this stroke.

This trial tests whether adding a medicine called human urinary kallidinogenase (which improves blood flow to the brain) to standard clot-busting treatment (reteplase) helps people recover better from an acute stroke. It's for patients who arrive at the hospital within 4.5 hours of symptom onset and meet specific safety criteria.
This trial tests whether a medicine called human urinary kallidinogenase can reduce inflammation after a stroke. It may help people who have had a first or recent stroke and have certain levels of disability.
This study tests whether adding a drug called human urinary kallidinogenase to standard clot-removal therapy helps people recover better after a large-vessel stroke. If you qualify, you would receive the drug or a placebo by IV along with the procedure, and doctors will monitor your recovery.
This trial tests a drug called urinary kallidinogenase in people who have had a stroke and also have type 2 diabetes. The drug may help improve recovery after a stroke.
This trial tests whether an experimental medication called human urinary kallidinogenase can help people recover better and faster after a recent stroke. The medication is given as an injection and is thought to improve blood flow to the brain, potentially helping with movement and daily function.
This trial tests if adding a drug called human urinary kallidinogenase (HUK) can improve recovery for people who have had a stroke and already received clot-busting medicine or a procedure to remove the clot. The goal is to see if it helps reduce disability after a stroke.
