Keywords

Summary

This is an ancillary study on the Phase 3 parent trial (CREST-2) in which patients with asymptomatic high grade carotid artery stenosis have enrolled to receive either a novel intensive medical management plan alone, or in combination with either Carotid Endarterectomy (CEA) or Carotid artery stenting (CAS). Patients enrolled in CREST-H will undergo a baseline MRI and some patients will also undergo a followup MRI at 1 year. The purpose is to determine whether cognition can be improved by revascularization among the subset of CREST-2 patients with hemodynamic impairment and mild cognitive impairment at baseline.

Summary

The research is being done to determine if an investigational drug called "TS23" is safe and effective for the treatment of patients with an ischemic stroke that do not meet the criteria for standard treatments to remove the clot. The best dose of TS23 for these patients is unknown. Prior studies have shown that TS23 works without increasing safety concerns.
