4-aminopyridine and Ischemic Stroke

4-aminopyridine has been researched along with Ischemic Stroke in 1 studies

Ischemic Stroke: Stroke due to BRAIN ISCHEMIA resulting in interruption or reduction of blood flow to a part of the brain. When obstruction is due to a BLOOD CLOT formed within in a cerebral blood vessel it is a thrombotic stroke. When obstruction is formed elsewhere and moved to block a cerebral blood vessel (see CEREBRAL EMBOLISM) it is referred to as embolic stroke. Wake-up stroke refers to ischemic stroke occurring during sleep while cryptogenic stroke refers to ischemic stroke of unknown origin.

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline on the Walking Impact Scale (Walk-12) at Week 12 (Key Secondary)

"The Walk-12 is a 12-question questionnaire that asks subjects to rate limitations of their mobility during the preceding two weeks on a 5-point scale (from 1= not at all to 5=extremely). For each visit, the Walk-12 score will be calculated by summing the 12 components and transforming into a scale with a range of 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a greater degree of limitation in walking. A negative change indicates an improvement in walking. 0 = no limitation in mobility to 100 extreme limitation in mobility.~Walk-12 Score = 100 * [(Mean of the 12 items) - 1]/(5-1)" (NCT02271217)

Proportion of Subjects Who Show at Least a 20% Improvement on the Two Minute Walk Test (2MinWT) at Week 12

"The 2MinWT measures the distance a subject can walk in 2 minutes. Participants showing at Least a 20% Improvement on the 2MinWT at 12-weeks are considered Responders." (NCT02271217)
