BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of lubeluzole in patients with a clinical diagnosis of acute ( 70 at day 28, indicating no or mild disability, compared with 21 of 61 (34%) in the placebo group and 19 of 66 (29%) in the lubeluzole 20 mg/d group (P = NS). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with acute ischemic stroke, the dosage regimen of 7.5 mg over 1 hour followed by 10 mg/d of intravenous lubeluzole is safe and statistically significantly reduced mortality. Further clinical trials in a larger number of patients are ongoing to confirm efficacy.
