About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Multidetector Raw Computerized Tomography in the Etiological Analysis of Acute Ischemic Stroke: the "COCASE" Protocol.

This is a prospective study including acute ischemic stroke patients aged 18 to 90. Multidetector raw CT is performed in acute ischemic stroke patients. Heart, neck vessels and brain arteries are studied during the same acquisition. Results are compared with the standard methods including transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), Doppler ultrasound (DUS) and MR angiography (MRA) of neck vessels. The main criteria is the ability of CT to classify the stroke etiology correctly according to the TOAST classification in comparison with the standard methods.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ability of CT to classify the stroke etiology correctly (TOAST classification) in comparison to reference methods (MRA, DUS, TEE)

    Measured: classify the stroke etiology

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Ability of CT to detect the source of stroke in each etiological group. Reliability of CT in quantitative measures of artery stenosis, aortic atheroma, heart thrombus, heart tumors). Tolerance of CT

    Measured: detect the source of stroke

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Multidetector raw CT in people with Ischemic Stroke, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 11 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 28 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Ability of CT to classify the stroke etiology correctly (TOAST classification) in comparison to reference methods (MRA, DUS, TEE) (time frame: classify the stroke etiology). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00708188, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 May 2019.
