Could a sublingual tablet repair the Brain's leaky barrier in CADASIL?
NCT ID NCT07692399
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether edaravone dexborneol sublingual tablets can improve blood-brain barrier function in people with CADASIL, a genetic condition that causes small strokes and cognitive decline. About 60 adults aged 18 to 80 with confirmed CADASIL will be observed for 6 months without the drug, then take the tablet twice daily for another 6 months. The study measures changes in brain barrier health using MRI and tracks stroke events, thinking skills, and safety.
