Trial summary

This is a prospective observational registry with intent to detect the prevalence of intracranial aneurysms with contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) at 1.5T, and to determine the risk factors such as high blood pressure and cigarette smoking relating to intracranial aneurysms.

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 20 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: People coming to Changhai hospital to get health check or consult docter, undergoing cerebral CE-MRA, and according with the criteria were recruited. Assuming an 8 percent prevalence of intracranial aneurysm in the general population and using a two-sided alpha value of 0.05, we estimated that 4000 persons would need to be enrolled for the study.

Who may be able to join

  • Aged 20 to 80 years
  • Willing to undergo study procedures
  • Who are fully informed about the study and have signed the informed consent form

Who cannot join

  • History of intracranial aneurysm
  • History of intracranial tumor
  • History of cerebral infarction
  • Acute stroke
  • Require emergency treatment
  • Contraindication for MRI examination

  • Severely impaired renal functions
  • Known anaphylactic reaction to MR contrast media
  • Pregnancy or nursing

About this study

Official title: Imaging Epidemiological Investigation of Intracranial Aneurysms and the Prospective Study of Risk Factors:Assessment of MR Imaging Trail

This is a prospective observational registry with intent to detect the prevalence of intracranial aneurysms with contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) at 1.5T, and to determine the risk factors such as high blood pressure and cigarette smoking relating to intracranial aneurysms.

Read the detailed description

Intracranial aneurysms are common and have been reported increased incidence rate because of the widespread use of high-resolution imaging techniques. They are clinically important because of the life-threatening rupture and hemorrhage. Early detection and diagnosis is the key of treatment. Contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA), as a simple, sensitivity and noninvasive method, is playing an important role in Vascular Imaging. CE-MRA has been an accuracy modality for intracranial aneurysm at most centers and proved the high sensitivity and accuracy comparing with DSA. Therefore, we use CE-MRA at 1.5T as a tool of epidemiological investigation of intracranial aneurysms.

In retrospective analysis, conventional risk factors for intracranial aneurysms include hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus (DM), smoking history, and family history, etc. However, retrospective analysis probably gives an underestimation or overestimation of the actual results. Prospective analysis will get accurate data on the risk factors relating to intracranial aneurysms

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intracranial Aneurysm, run by Second Military Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 9 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Oct 2009. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Intracranial aneurysms identified by CE-MRA (time frame: 24 months). 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 Oct 2009.
