Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of Actovegin in Post-stroke Cognitive Impairment (PSCI) (NCT NCT01582854)

NCT ID: NCT01582854

Last Updated: 2016-02-22

Results Overview

The ADAS-cog measures cognitive performance by combining the ratings of 11 items. The cognitive domains mainly addressed by ADAS-cog are: memory (short term), language, ability to orientate (reflects memory), construction/planning of simple designs and performance. The extended version of the ADAS-cog (ADAS-cog+) includes 3 additional items: a 2-number cancellation task to test for attention, a delayed recall task to test for memory consolidation and a maze test for executive performance. Each item is scored and then the item scores are totaled. Total scores range from 0 (best) to 90 (worst). Higher scores indicate greater cognitive impairment. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) model was used for analyses that included treatment, pooled centre, and their interaction as factors and Baseline ADAS-cog+ score as a covariate.

Participant Flow

Participants took part in the study at 33 investigative sites in Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia from 28 June 2012 to 26 November 2014.

The ADAS-cog measures cognitive performance by combining the ratings of 11 items. The cognitive domains mainly addressed by ADAS-cog are: memory (short term), language, ability to orientate (reflects memory), construction/planning of simple designs and performance.

The MoCA is a rapid screening test to assess mild cognitive impairment. It assesses different cognitive domains: attention and concentration, executive functions, memory, language, visuoconstructional skills, conceptual thinking, calculations, and orientation. Time to administer the MoCA is approximately 10 minutes. The total possible score is 0 to 30 points; a score of 26 or above is considered normal. A positive change from Baseline (BL) indicates improvement. ANCOVA model was used for analyses that included treatment and pooled centres as factors, plus years of education and baseline MoCA score as covariates.

The NIHSS is a tool to objectively quantify the impairment caused by a stroke. The NIHSS is composed of 11 items, each of which scores a specific ability between a 0 (normal) to 4 (some level of impairment). The individual scores from each item are summed in order to calculate total possible NIHSS score from 0 (best) to 42 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. ANCOVA model was used for analyses that included treatment and pooled centre as factors and Baseline NIHSS score as a covariate.

The Barthel Index consists of 10 items that measure a person's daily functioning, specifically the activities of daily living and mobility. The items include: feeding, transfers (bed to chair and back), grooming, toilet use, bathing, mobility (walking on level surface), going up and down stairs, dressing, continence of bowels and bladder. Each performance item is rated, with a given number of points assigned to each level or ranking. Individual scores are summed for a total possible scores ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) with higher scores indicating more independent daily living.

EQ-5D is a standardized measure of health status consisting of 5 dimensions: mobility, self -care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. The participant rates their level of function in each area using a 5 point scale where 1=no problems (best) to 5=extreme problems (worst). The percentage of participants in each category is reported.
