About this study

The primary aim of the study is to derive and validate risk scores for vascular endpoints (recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction, and other complications of stroke) and for death following an incident stroke. For this purpose patients with an incident stroke will be followed for 36 months with additional assessments at 3, 12, 24 and 36 months.

Read the detailed description

Risk of vascular disease including stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death is high after stroke but there are only few prognostic models for long term risk up to 3 years. About 850 patients with an incident stroke will be followed for 3 years with assessments at baseline and at 3, 12, 24, and 36 months. Factors that have already been reported to be significant predictors of vascular diseases in previous studies as well as new biomarkers (e.g. neuroimaging, blood based biomarkers) identified in this cohort will be considered. The improvement of discrimination including these new variables in the models will be investigated. Several measures of improving predictive properties (e.g. calibration, discrimination, net reclassification) will be used to compare predictive models with different complexity. The model will be validated using the bootstrap method (internal validation) and an independent external sample in cooperation with the prospective CSB-stroke cohort.

What is being measured

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

  1. Combined vascular endpoint composed of stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death

    This evaluation will be based on a structured interview with the patient. In case of positive screening more information will be obtained by hospital or physician.

    Measured: 36 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Combined vascular endpoint composed of stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death

    This evaluation will be based on a structured interview with the patient. In case of positive screening more information will be obtained by hospital or physician. In case of death of the patient, evaluation will be based on data from the registry office.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Combined vascular endpoint composed of stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death

    This evaluation will be based on a structured interview with the patient. In case of positive screening more information will be obtained by the physician. In case of death of the patient, evaluation will be based on data from the registry office.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Course of cognitive function

    This evaluation will be based on a structured interview with the patient. In case of positive screening more information will be obtained by the physician.

    Measured: 36 months

  4. Course of depression

    This evaluation will be based on a structured interview with the patient. In case of positive screening more information will be obtained by the physician.

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ischemic Stroke, run by Ludwig-Maximilians - University of Munich 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 5 inclusion and 3 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Martin Dichgans, Prof. (+49 (0)89 4400 ext. 46019, martin.dichgans@med.uni-muenchen.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Combined vascular endpoint composed of stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death (time frame: 36 months). 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 NCT01364168, which also lists 2 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 19 Mar 2024.
