Summary

The efficacy and safety of early adjunctive methylprednisolone therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients with large infarct cores (ASPECTS score \< 6) and post-stroke lymphocytopenia remain unclear. These immunocompromised patients face higher mortality rates and poorer clinical outcomes, with limited effective treatment options currently available. This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, non-inferiority trial aims to demonstrate that early methylprednisolone administration combined with reperfusion therapy is non-inferior to placebo in terms of survival and functional outcomes at 90 days.

Conditions

  • Large Infarct Core
  • Post-stroke Lymphocytopenia

Interventions

DRUG

Methylprednisolone sodium succinate

Methylprednisolone sodium succinate Intravenous injection of methylprednisolone sodium succinate (Chongqing Lummy Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., 40mg/ vial) with a dose of 2mg/kg (maximum dose of 160mg), once daily, for three consecutive days. The initial study drug will be administered as soon as possible after randomization. It is recommended that the initial study drug administrated before arterial access closure, but it should not be delayed more than 2 hours after arterial access closure.

DRUG

Normal Saline

Intravenous injection of placebo (normal saline) (Chongqing Lummy Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., 40mg/ bottle) with a dose of 2mg/kg (maximum dose of 160mg), once daily, for three consecutive days. The initial study drug will be administered as soon as possible after randomization. It is recommended that the initial study drug administrated before arterial access closure, but it should not be delayed more than 2 hours after arterial access closure.
