Efficacy and Safety Study of Ultra-early Mobile Stroke Unit Neuroprotection Combined With Revascularization for Acute Ischemic Stroke (EXCELLENT)

• Study on the effectiveness of neuroprotection combined with revascularization in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke in the ultra-early mobile stroke unit (MSU):

Based on the MSU model, using the RCT study design, for patients with disabling AIS within 4.5h, patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to the experimental group and the control group and were given the neuroprotective agent edaravone tablets + intravenous thrombolysis and placebo + intravenous thrombolysis interventions, respectively. The main evaluation index was the proportion of patients with transformed blood flow on MRI at 72 hours after receiving recanalization, and the other indexes included the patients' 90-day onset The remaining indicators include the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score (hierarchical data), the proportion of patients with an mRS score of <1 at 90 days of onset, the proportion of patients with an mRS score of <2 at 90 days of onset, the time from onset to intravenous thrombolysis (in minutes), and the proportion of patients who received intravenous thrombolysis within 60 minutes of onset.

• Safety study of ultra-early mobile stroke unit neuroprotection combined with revascularization for acute ischemic stroke:

Based on the MSU model, using the RCT study design for patients with disabling AIS within 4.5h, patients were 1:1 randomly assigned to the experimental group and control group, and were given the neuroprotective agent edaravone tablets + intravenous thrombolysis and placebo + intravenous thrombolysis interventions, respectively. The main safety evaluation indexes included all deaths during hospitalization, hospitalized deaths after receiving intravenous thrombolysis, deaths at 3 months after stroke, deaths at 3 months after receiving intravenous thrombolysis, and the proportion of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 36 hours of the onset of the disease, and so on.
