A Study of XY03-EA Tablets in the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke

Overall Design: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-exploration study.

Main outcome: 1.To evaluate the efficacy and safety of XY03-EA tablets in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.

The population is patient who with acute ischemic stroke within 48 hours of onset (including RT-PA intravenous thrombolytic therapy) . The patients were randomized based on being received rt-PA Intravenous thrombolysis or not. Patients who met the inclusion criteria for the protocol were stratified randomly and assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to three groups: the XY03-EA 300mg, 600mg two-dose group, and the placebo group. The study was divided into 3 stages: screening stage, treatment stage and follow-up stage. The sample size was 420 patients.

Main outcome: 1.To evaluate the efficacy and safety of XY03-EA tablets in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.

Secondary outcome:

1. Explore the dose-response relationship of XY03-EA tablets in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke, and provide data support for later clinical study;
2. Explore PK characteristics of XY03-EA and its metabolites in patients with acute ischemic stroke based on population PK analysis method.
