Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effectiveness of ّ prescribing Fingolimod with Non-prescribing fingolimod in improving stroke related scales in Acute Ischemic Stroke(AIS) patients referring in 4.5 hours of symptoms onset
Design
A double blind, randomized, parallel group phase 2-3 trial design of 50 patients, whom will be enrolled between may 2022 and July 2022, and will befollowed for 6 months.
Settings and conduct
Patients, who are suspected of acute ischemic stroke, referring to emergency ward of Tehran's Shariati hospital who have acute neurologic deficits with NIHSS more than 6 and no ICH in entrance brain CT and no exclusion criteria will be divided in two arms whom both get a standard stroke care receiving fingolimod in one and placebo in another by random thereby assessing in determined times. The pharmaceutical intermediary will give medicine and placebo as group A and B to the researcher(blinded); afterwards, the researcher will inform the prescribing physician(blinded) the A or B group on the basis of 2*2 blocked randomization; at last, patients will be assessed at entrance, 1month and 6 months later by assessing physician(blinded).
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patients with acute onset focal neurologic deficit with Age more then 18 years who referring to hospital in less than 4.5 hours: excluded by major heart retinal problems, age more than 80 or whom have ICH in entrance CT-scan
Intervention groups
In the first group , patients will get routine standard care including thrombolysis in conjunction with fingolimod , as a neuroprotective drug, for assessing whether there is an efficacy in determined time windows . simultaneously, control group will get the same care except fingolimod.
Main outcome variables
NIHSS and MRS scale in 0, 1, 6
