ClinConnect Summary

The MLC1501 Study is a clinical trial designed to investigate how effective a new treatment called MLC1501 is for people recovering from an ischemic stroke, which happens when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the brain. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either a low dose or a high dose of MLC1501, or a placebo (a pill with no active medication), twice a day for 24 weeks. The goal is to see if this treatment can help improve recovery after a stroke.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have recently experienced an acute ischemic stroke, as confirmed by brain imaging. They should also have a certain level of stroke severity measured by a specific score and be considered candidates for rehabilitation. This study is not currently recruiting participants, but if you're eligible, you can expect to take the study medication regularly and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress. It’s important to note that there are specific conditions that could exclude someone from participating, such as taking certain medications or having significant medical issues.
