Registered outcomes4

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryTotal Number of Participants With an Increase in Liver Function Tests (LFTs)7 Days
The development of clinical or laboratory evidence of major hepatic toxicity within 7 days of treatment onset or the development of clinical or laboratory evidence of rhabdomyolysis within 7 days of treatment onset. The primary safety outcome will be defined as: Liver toxicity: LFT increase at any time point \> 3X upper limit of normal or development of jaundice, otherwise unexplained coagulopathy, or other clinical evidence of hepatitis or liver failure; or Muscle toxicity: An increase in CK (Creatine Kinase) at any time point \> 10 X upper limit of normal, or clinical evidence of muscle pain or weakness not related to the stroke and associated with CK \> 5 X upper limit of normal.
SecondaryMean Score on NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS)90 days
The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a tool used by healthcare providers to objectively quantify the impairment caused by a stroke and to measure neurological outcomes. The NIHSS is composed of 11 items, with a score range of 0-42. Higher scores indicate greater impairment caused by a stroke.
SecondaryTotal Number of Participants With a Barthel Index Score > 9590 days
The Barthel Index will be used to measure functional outcomes by counting the total number of individuals with a Barthel index score greater than or equal to 95. Numerical scores based on whether an individual requires physical assistance to perform the task or can complete it independently. An individual scoring 0 points would be dependent in all assessed activities of daily living, whereas a score of 100 would reflect independence in these activities, indicative of a better outcome.
SecondaryTotal Number of Participants With a Modified Rankin Score of 0-190 days
The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability. It will be used as a measure of handicap by looking at the total number of individuals with a score of 0-1. The scale runs from 0-6, running from perfect health without symptoms (score of 0) to death (score of 6). A score of 0 indicates a better outcome.
