Summary
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of oral DLBS1033 as adjunctive therapy on inflammatory biomarkers (IL-6, TNF-, MMP-9, D-dimer), transcranial Doppler (TCD) parameters, and clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Fifty-two eligible patients admitted to RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta will be randomly assigned to receive either DLBS1033 (490 mg, DISOLF film-coated tablet, Dexa Medica, 2 tab t.i.d.) or placebo for 28 days, in addition to standard therapy between July 2024 to March 2025. The study was conducted in the inpatient ward, with follow-up at the outpatient clinic of the Neurology Department, Dr. Moewardi General Hospital, Surakarta, Central Java, following full ethical approval from the hospital's Health Research Ethics Committee. Primary outcomes include changes in inflammatory markers; secondary outcomes include changes in NIHSS and Barthel Index scores and TCD profiles.
