What is being measured

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

  1. 90-day Global Disability Assessed Via the Blinded Evaluation of Modified Rankin Score (mRS).

    mRS is a scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke. 0 No symptoms at all

    1. No significant disability despite symptoms; able to carry out all usual duties and activities
    2. Slight disability; unable to carry out all previous activities, but able to look after own affairs without assistance
    3. Moderate disability; requiring some help, but able to walk without assistance
    4. Moderately severe disability; unable to walk without assistance and unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance
    5. Severe disability; bedridden, incontinent and requiring constant nursing care and attention
    6. Dead

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Death Due to Any Cause at 90 Days

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Functional Independence as Defined by Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score ≤2 at 90 Days

    Measured: 90 days

  3. Change in NIH Stroke Scale Score at 27 ± 6 Hrs Post Randomization

    The NIHSS is a 15-item neurologic examination stroke scale used to evaluate the effect of acute cerebral infarction on the levels of consciousness, language, neglect, visual-field loss, extraocular movement, motor strength, ataxia, dysarthria, and sensory loss. NIHSS scores range from 0 - 42. A score of 0 indicates no stroke symptoms. Higher scores indicate incremental levels of neurological impairment.

    Measured: Baseline to 27±6 hours post randomization

  4. Volume of Cerebral Infarction as Measured by a CT or MRI Scan at 27±6 Hours Post Randomization

    Measured: 27±6 hours post randomization

  5. Reperfusion Measured by Reperfusion Ratio on CT or MRI Scan 27±6 Hours Post Randomization

    Measured: 27±6 hours post randomization

  6. Arterial Revascularization Measured by TICI 2b or 3 Following Device Use

    Measured: Post procedure

  7. Correlation of RAPID-assessed Core Infarct Volume With 27±6 Hours Post Randomization Stroke Infarction in Subjects Who Achieved TICI 2b-3 Reperfusion Without Intracranial Hemorrhage

    Measured: 27±6 hours post randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intravenous (IV) recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) and Solitaire revascularization device in people with Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by Medtronic Neurovascular Clinical Affairs 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 11 inclusion and 25 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 May 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

90-day Global Disability Assessed Via the Blinded Evaluation of Modified Rankin Score (mRS). (time frame: 90 days). 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 NCT01657461, which also lists 10 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 May 2017.
