Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether chlorpromazine and promethazine（C+P）is safe in Acute Ischemic Stroke（AIS) patients and determine the maximum dosage. It will also evaluate the preliminary efficacy of C+P in AIS. The main questions it aims to answer are: What is the optimal dosage of C+P that is safe without causing adverse effects in AIS patients? What is the optimal dosage of C+P that potentially works to treat AIS? Researchers will compare C+P with placebo (saline solution without C+P) to see if C+P is safe and effective in treating Acute Ischemic Stroke. Participants will: Receive C+P or placebo at the same time as endovascular thrombectomy begins. Patients will be observed for 72 hours to see if there were any adverse effects related to C+P. Infarct volumes will be evaluated using Computed Tomography. Functional outcomes will be assessed at 90 days.

Chlorpromazine and promethazine (C+P), due to their effort to induce a hibernation-like status, has been proved to be neuroprotective for ischemic stroke in pre-clinical experiments. However, whether it is safe and potentially effective in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients is currently unknown. The reason might be that the optimal dosage is not defined in AIS treatment. High dosage of C+P might result in hypotension and extrapyramidal symptoms that diminishes its neuroprotective effect. So it is essential to determine a safe and potentially dosage. Another reason might be that patients from previous clinical trials assessing the effectiveness of C+P did not receive reperfusion therapy. In this study，we plan to conduct a 6+2 dose-escalation clinical trial to determine the safety of C+P in AIS patients receiving endovascular thrombectomy. Four dosage groups of C+P will be set(10mg/20mg/50mg/100mg).A minimum of 32 patients will be involved if no drug related severe adverse event(SAE) was observed. A maximum of 64 patients will be required if one SAE is observed in each group. The current study aim to provide a basis for phase Ⅱ clinical trial to further explore the efficacy of C+P in AIS treatmment.

Interventions

chlorpromazine and promethazineDRUG

C+P were diluted to 50 ml saline solution and delivered intravenously at the beginning of endovascular thrombectomyat a velocity of 4ml/h. The whole period of drug delivery lasts for approximately 12h.

Placebo groupDRUG

50 ml saline solution was set as placebo and delivered intravenously at the beginning of endovascular thrombectomyat a velocity of 4ml/h. The whole period of drug delivery lasts for approximately 12h.

endovascular thrombectomyPROCEDURE

All patients that are eligible for endovascular thrombectomy will receive this surgery in aim to remove thrombus and restore reperfusion.

rt-PADRUG

All patients that are eligible for Intravenous thrombolysis will receive 0.9mg/kg rt-PA in aim to remove thrombus and restore reperfusion
