Trial summary

"Silent" strokes are more frequent than clinical apparent strokes and can be detected noninvasively by MRI-investigations of the brain. Persons with silent strokes have a considerably increased risk for clinical apparent strokes as well as for the development of dementia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Neuro-Prävention im Rahmen Des Interventionsprojektes INVADE-2 Systematische Prävention Bei Hochrisikopatienten für Schlaganfall Und vaskulär (Mit)Bedingte Demenz: Identifizierung Und Behandlung Von Stummen Hirninfarkten.

"Silent" strokes are more frequent than clinical apparent strokes and can be detected noninvasively by MRI-investigations of the brain. Persons with silent strokes have a considerably increased risk for clinical apparent strokes as well as for the development of dementia. Intention of the study is the detection of silent strokes and microbleedings by standardized cranial MRI in 1000 participants (500 high-risk and 500 low-risk persons for cerebrovascular accidents) after a standardized neurological and neuropsychological examination. Results will be the base of early detection and early preventive strategies of cerebrovascular accidents in high-risk persons.

In the course of a systematic follow-up examination without MRI the same 1000 patients (500 high-risk and 500 low-risk persons for cerebrovascular accidents) will be reinvited to the sites. In addition to the standardized neurological and neuropsychological examinations a surrogate parameter of nephropathy, microalbumin, will be examined as this parameter could be helpful in forecasting cerebral microangiopathy. The clinical investigation will be expanded by several tests in order to assess symptoms of cerebral microangiopathy.

What is being measured

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

  1. In the group of high-risk persons the percentage of silent strokes detected by MRI of the brain is significantly higher than in the group of non-high-risk persons.

    Measured: 4/2012 until 11/2013

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Detection of silent strokes by MRI in more than 10% of all subjects and diagnostic and therapeutic procedures refinancable near-term and in relation to long-term-consequences

    Measured: 4/2012 until 11/2013

  2. Detection of microbleedings by MRI in more than 10% of all subjects

    Measured: 4/2010 until 11/2011

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke and Dementia, run by INVADE gGmbH at 2 sites in Germany.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. 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?

Contact Hans Gnahn, Dr. (hans@gnahn.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

In the group of high-risk persons the percentage of silent strokes detected by MRI of the brain is significantly higher than in the group of non-high-risk persons. (time frame: 4/2012 until 11/2013). 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 NCT01126775, 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 23 Jan 2013.
