Methods
This was a prospective, single-centre, randomized, double-blind study. A total of 120 eligible patients were randomly divided into two groups to receive the C-117 formula or placebo. As the basic treatment, both groups were treated according to the Guidelines for Secondary Prevention of Ischemic Stroke/Transient Ischemic Stroke in China using statins to regulate blood lipids, blood pressure lowering drugs, drugs for controlling blood sugar, and antiplatelet drugs according to the indications. The primary outcomes were the change in stability, the mean change of the plaque Crouse score, and the area and number of bilateral carotid artery plaques before and after 6 months of treatment. The secondary outcomes were the total number of cardiocerebrovascular events during the treatment and follow-up and the mean changes of lipid levels.
