简要总结
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Mexidol® sequential parenteral and oral administration as part of comprehensive therapy in older adults with chronic brain ischemia and vascular cognitive impairment, no dementia (VCIND).
详细描述
This is a pilot, open-label, prospective, randomized, comparative, controlled study in parallel groups designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sequential Mexidol® therapy used in addition to standard therapy in older adults with chronic brain ischemia and vascular cognitive impairment, no dementia (VCIND).
The study included 120 participants randomized into two groups:
- Group 1 received standard therapy combined with Mexidol® solution (500 mg once daily, IV infusion) for the first 5 days, followed by Mexidol® FORTE 250 tablets (250 mg three times daily) for 60 days.
- Group 2 received standard therapy only.
Within each treatment group, a pre-specified subgroup analysis was performed based on the presence or absence of frailty, followed by a comparative analysis of the secondary outcome measures for each subgroup.
