Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Y-6 sublingual tablets in improving microcirculation dysfunction and reducing thrombo-inflammation in patients who had AIS caused by LVO and received reperfusion therapy. Moreover, we expect to evaluate the safety of using Y-6 sublingual tablet in such study population.
Detailed description
This study rationale is based on the following scheme: in patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by LVO, receiving reperfusion therapy may cause futile recanalization and thus lead to microcirculation dysfunction and thrombo-inflammation as consequences. Cilostazol has antiplatelet effects and BBB protection and Dexborneol has anti-inflammatory effects; therefore, the multi-component tablet may exert neuroprotective effects in terms of improving microcirculation dysfunction and reducing thrombo-inflammation in patients with AIS after reperfusion therapy. The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the proportion of modified-Rankin scale (mRS) score recovered to 0\ 1 score at 90±7 days after randomization. The follow-up duration is 3 months, and the visit schedule is as follows: Subjects enrolled based on randomization procedures will receive visits at screening/baseline period, first drug administration, immediately after reperfusion therapy(within 2 hours), 24 ± 2 hours, 96 ± 7 hours, 14 ± 2 days, 28 ± 2 days and 90 ± 7 days after randomization, and in case of any events.
Interventions
Take Y-6 sublingual tablets for 28 days continuously.
Take Placebo tablets of Y-6 sublingual tablet for 28 days continuously.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of mRS score recovered to 0~1 score | 90±7 days after randomization | The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) decreasing to 0\ 1 score. mRS Mainly measures patients' independent living ability, including physical function, activity ability and participation in daily life. A score of 0 on the mRS Scale indicates no symptoms and a score of 5 indicates severe disability. |
Secondary

|---|---|---|
| Integrity of BBB evaluated by DCE | 96±7 hours after randomization | BBB permeability is assessed by DCE-MRI |
| Changes of NIHSS score between baseline and immediately after reperfusion therapy | immediately after reperfusion therapy (within 2 hours) | NIHSS score after reperfusion therapy within 2 hours changing compared with baseline NIHSS. The NIHSS score ranges from 0 to 42. The higher the score, the more severe the nerve damage. |
