About this study

Official title: Application of Contrast Enhance Ultrasound to Evaluate Hemodynamics Change in MCA With Moderate to Severe Stenosis After 24-week Atorvastatin Treatment

Objective:

To monitor and evaluate the change of intracranial hemodynamics and MCA stenosis after 24-week atorvastatin treatment using CEUS, CTA and DSA.

Study design:

Total 30 patients (60 arteries) will be enrolled in this study, who had MCA infarction within 6 months prior to screening, and has not received any statins treatment before stroke.

Eligible patient will receive atorvastatin 40mg treatment for 24 weeks. Hemodynamics changes and MCA stenosis will be evaluated using CEUS at baseline, 3-month,and 6-month. MCA stenosis, bloodstream velocity, as well as clinical symptoms will be assessed at each visit and compared to baseline.

Read the detailed description

The cerebral infarction resulted from medially and heavily narrow MCA is determined by the three-type screen method .For the first screen cerebral infarction patients of MCA area who has the stroke or TIA history In 6 months are determined by the clinic stroke measure table,transstadial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) carotid ultrasonography and skull CT. For the second the MAC area infarction and vessel narrow are determined by the skull magnetic resonance (MRI) and magnetic resonance vessel imaging (MRA) and the MCA trend bloodstream dynamics feature and narrow extent Are observed by the strengthened ultrasonography (CEVS) For the third, The MCA narrow extent is measured by the DSA test which is currently regarded as a gold standard and /or by the CTA .The atorvastatin 20mg Treatment is given to the patients who all use the antiplatelet medicine The clinic symptom improvement MCA narrow extent and bloodstream velocity are dynamically observed visited and analysed respectively at the basic line 3 and 6 months after treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemodynamics changes and MCA stenosis

    Hemodynamics changes will be evaluaed using CEUS at baseline, 3-month,and 6-month.in order to evaluate the effect of atorvastatin, we will compare the baseline with 3-month,and compare the baseline with 6-month.a statistic analysis of measure data is conducted by the group T test,which conducted by SAS 9.13 English edition .

    Measured: given atorvastatin 40mg treatment for 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing atorvastatin in people with Stenosis, run by Capital 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2012. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Xu Bin, master (86-010-88062285, xubincj1992@yahoo.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hemodynamics changes and MCA stenosis (time frame: given atorvastatin 40mg treatment for 24 weeks). 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 12 Jun 2012.
