About this study
Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Single-blind, Placebo-controlled Study of Dl-3-n-butylphthalide in Patients With Moyamoya Disease of High Risk for Ischemic Cerebrovascular Events After Extracranial-to-intracranial Revascularization Surgery
An extracranial-to-intracranial (EC-IC) revascularization is the most widely used treatment to improve cerebral perfusion in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD), and it has been shown to reduce the risk of subsequent stroke and neurological deficit. However, perioperative changes in cerebral hemodynamics can induce fluctuations in cerebral perfusion that may lead to transient or irreversible neurological deficits. Our preliminary single-center study suggests that postoperative intravenous administration of dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) may alleviate perioperative neurological deficits and improve the neurological outcomes after EC-IC revascularization for MMD. This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, single-controlled, add-on to standard of care study of NBP in patients with MMD of high risk for ischemic cerebrovascular events after EC-IC revascularization surgery.
Read the detailed description
This trial is a prospective, randomized, singe-blinded, placebo parallel controlled, multiple-center trial.
A total of approximately 450 patients (age between18 years and 60 years) with moyamoya disease after EC-IC revascularization will be enrolled. Patients fulfilling all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomized 1:1 into two groups after offering informed content: 1) one group will receive butylphthalide in 100 mL of normal saline twice daily since the day of surgery and continued for 14 postoperative days; 2) the other group will receive 100 mL of normal saline twice daily since the day of surgery and continued for 14 postoperative days.
The primary objective is to evaluate the rate and severity of ischemic cerebral event in MMD patients with butylphthalide after EC-IC bypass surgery. The study consists of four visits including the day of randomization(baseline), postoperative day 1 before the first injection, 14 days after surgery when the injection therapy is done, and 30 after suryery. Demographic information, symptoms and signs, laboratory test, neuro-imaging assessment, neurological function scale will be recorded during the program. The rate of stroke event, neurological deficit and severity of neurological deficits will be assessed by modified Rankin scale. The trial is anticipated to last from January 2020 to December 2022 with subjects recruited form two neurosurgical centers in Beijing, China.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Perioperative ischemic stroke rate
Perioperative cerebral stroke was defined as a symptomatic event of new cerebral infarction within 30 days after surgery and confirmed by CT or MRI. Symptoms included focal neurological deficit or headache lasting more than 24 hours.
Measured: within 30 days after surgery
Perioperative death rate
Rate of perioperative death of any cause within 30 days after surgery
Measured: within 30 days after surgery
Rate of transient neurological deficit (TND)
TND was defined as either any reversible neurological deficits observed objectively (e.g., hemiparesis, dysarthria) or any reversible neurological deficits recognized and reported subjectively (e.g., facial palsy), and without evidence of intracranial hemorrhage and cerebral infarction on images
Measured: within 30 days after surgery
Secondary outcomes (3)
modified Rankin Scale scores at 30 days after surgery
The modified Rankin Scale scores were recorded at 1 month after surgery.
Measured: at 30 days after surgery
The severity of transient neurological deficit
The severity of TND was further categorized into four grades based on the clinical symptoms and duration6: Grade 0, none TND; Grade 1, symptoms resolved within 5 days; Grade 2, symptoms prolonged for 5 to 9 days; Grade 3; symptoms prolonged for 10 or more days. One grade worse was scored if there were hemiparesis and/or seizure.
Measured: within 30 days after surgery
Postoperative intracranial hemorrhagic event
New-onset intracranial hemorrhage within 30 days after surgery and confirmed by CT or MRI.
Measured: within 30 days after surgery

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing dl-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) and Normal Saline 0.9% Infusion Solution in people with Moyamoya Disease and Ischemic Cerebral Infarction, run by yuanli Zhao at 2 sites in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Zongze Li, MD (86-13121226581, lizongze@pkuih.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Perioperative ischemic stroke rate (time frame: within 30 days after surgery). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Dec 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
