Brief summary

The main objective of this study is to determine whether a single injection of CsA after intravenous thrombolysis can significantly decreased the volume of cerebral infarction at day 30 ± 15 assessed with Flair MRI. Secondary objectives are to determine whether a single injection of CsA after intravenous thrombolysis is safe and effective regarding to death and disability.

Interventions

DRUGCiclosprin A

The dose in this study was 2 mg / kg, administered within 15 min after beginning of thrombolysis. The treatment of the study consists of a single bolus injection. This dose was chosen according to the results of tolerance in myocardial infarction and unknown pharmacodynamic and safety data

DRUGInjectable Saline Solution.

Saline Solution is administered once 15 min after thrombolysis.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
to determine whether a single injection of CsA after intravenous thrombolysis significantly decreased the volume of cerebral infarction at day 30 ± 15 in the T2-weighted Flair MRI.at day 30 ± 15 in the T2-weighted Flair MRI.Volume of cerebral infarction at day 30 ± 15 in the T2-weighted MRI Flair will be measured by manuel contouring by two independent radiologists uninformed of clinical and therapeutic data and therapeutic

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
to determine whether a single injection of CsA after intravenous thrombolysis, is well tolerated and reduces deaths and disability in patients.on day 1, J7, J30, J90Secondary endpoints include clinical scores: NIHSS , mRS, Death, SAE (within neurological worsening of more than 4 points on the NIHSS).
