Trial summary

Between twenty and fifty percent of people who have acute stroke have hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) with it. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia,whole blood tissue factor procoagulant activity (TF-PCA) and plasma factorVIIa (FVIIa) in ten patients with… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients presenting to the Emergency Department with acute ischemic stroke within 12 hours of onset of symptoms.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients aged > 18 years presenting to the Emergency Department with symptoms of acute ischemic stroke will be included for study.
  • Acute stroke patients with normal blood glucose levels and patients with fingerstick blood glucose level of greater than or equal to 150 mg/dl will be eligible for study.
  • Acute Stroke will be defined as an acute disturbance of cerebral function of presumed vascular origin causing a neurological deficit of less than 24 hours duration.
  • Patients must have an NIH Stroke Scale Score of 4 to 23. Patients awakening with symptoms of stroke will be considered to have had their stroke at the time when last awake without symptoms.

Who cannot join

  • Patients presenting after 24 hours of symptom onset. When the actual time of onset is unknown, the time when last observed to be symptom-free will be used.
  • Patients with NIH scale of less than 4 or greater than 23.
  • Complete or substantial resolution of symptoms before randomization.
  • Patients with a previously disabling stroke (modified Rankin score > 3)
  • Patients with other systemic disease such as infection (eg pneumonia, etc)
  • Patients with hemorrhage visualized on CT.
  • Patients who are unwilling or unable to give informed consent, or for whom a legally authorized representative is not able to consent.
  • Pregnant patients.

About this study

Between twenty and fifty percent of people who have acute stroke have hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) with it. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia,whole blood tissue factor procoagulant activity (TF-PCA) and plasma factorVIIa (FVIIa) in ten patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 11 non-diabetic patients at baseline and 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours (h) after presentation for acute stroke.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between diabetes mellitus, hyperglycemia,whole blood tissue factor procoagulant activity (TF-PCA) and plasma factorVIIa (FVIIa) in ten patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 11 non-diabetic patients at baseline and 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours (h) after presentation for acute stroke.

Patients presenting to the Emergency Department with ongoing stroke symptoms and neurologic deficit less than 24 hours (h) duration were screened for inclusion into the study. Stroke patients were grouped in terms of diabetes status as determined by past medical history. Stroke diagnosis was confirmed with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Clinical care, including the acute management ofstroke and hyperglycemia, was done at the discretion of the Neurology service not involved in the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ischemic Stroke and Hyperglycemia, run by Temple University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Jan 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

FVIIa (time frame: Baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Feb 2017.
