Clinical Trials

Multiple clinical trials sponsored by Xijing Hospital have evaluated the efficacy and safety profile of Ginsenoside Rd as a potential neuroprotective treatment for acute ischemic stroke. The clinical program progressed from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II trial to a pivotal multicenter Phase III trial, with all studies achieving completed recruitment status. These completed investigations demonstrate the dedicated clinical evaluation of Ginsenoside Rd for patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke.

Compliance for Clinical Use

Mechanism and Biochemical Profile

Ginsenoside Rd inhibits TNF-alpha-induced NF-kB transcriptional activity and blocks intracellular calcium influx, thereby suppressing the expression of inflammatory mediators COX-2 and iNOS. By preventing calcium overload and downregulating pro-inflammatory signaling cascades, the compound attenuates neuronal cellular damage, supporting its therapeutic application in acute ischemic stroke.
