About this study

Official title: Hemodynamic Analysis Of Intracranial Artery And Associated Lesions Using 2-D/3D Phase Contrast MR Angiography Focused On Wall Shear Stress Measurement

Using phase contrast MR Angiography with NOVA® Software, this study intends to identify,evaluate and map intracranial aneurysm development as well as develope a predicator for future morphological changes of aneurysms and possible risk of future rupture.

Read the detailed description

Hemodynamic stress toward the wall of intracranial artery with associated genuine defects of wall remodeling capacity is one of many hypotheses of subarachnoid aneurysm development. In addition, hemodynamic stress toward an aneurysm wall may play a very significant role for the rupture of an aneurysm creating acute Subarachnoid hemorrhage. We think the Wall Shear Stress (WSS) measurement toward an intracranial arterial wall and intracranial aneurysmal wall may provide valuable information for understanding of intracranial aneurysm development as well as predicting future morphological changes of aneurysm and possibly risk of future rupture. This study is significant especially in the management of unruptured subarachnoid arterial aneurysm patients and identifying patients who have higher rupture risks for active treatments such as surgical clipping or coiling to prevent unnecessary but potentially risky procedures.

Gadolinium MR Angiography with NOVA® Software will be used to measure the arterial wall shear stress (WSS) for patients with an intracranial arterial aneurysm. The aneurysm will be identified, blood flow, velocity, volume, vascular diameter and the direction of blood measurements will be taken using NOVA® Software at each point of interest. A WSS map of target intracranial artery and/or aneurysm sac will be created and matched with morphological features providing a clue to understand the the relationships between hemodynamic parameters, especially WSS and morphological changes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Additional scan time on standard MR angiographyRadiation

    Also called MRI, Phase contrast MR, 2D MR, 3D MR

    Procedure/Surgery: Additional 5 minutes scan time to standard MR angiography

    Using the Nova® Software, an additional 5 minutes scan time will be required in order to identify aneurysm, select target artery, and complete measurements

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Additional scan time on standard MR angiography in people with Intracranial Arterial Aneurysm, run by Lahey Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 2013. 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 United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Identify, measure and map the Wall Shear Stress (WSS) measurements and affects in subarachnoid aneurysm developement. (time frame: Duration of the MRA test). 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 NCT00710281, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 18 Sep 2013.
