Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to measure the presence of HMGB-1 and other proteins in the blood across five time points after stroke, and to determine if their presence correlates with rate of stroke recovery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of the Role of HMGB-1 in Retarding Recovery in Chronic Stroke

The purpose of this study is to measure the presence of HMGB-1 and other proteins in the blood across five time points after stroke, and to determine if their presence correlates with rate of stroke recovery.

Read the detailed description

Stroke, cerebrovascular accident, is the leading cause of brain injury and the leading cause of permanent disability. The acute pathophysiology of stroke depends on the innate immune response, which arises from mostly pro-inflammatory cascades. The chronic pathophysiology of stroke is less clear as the innate inflammatory response fades and matures into an adaptive immune response. HMGB-1 is a serum cytokine that has been found with persistent elevated levels for weeks to months after neurological insult in preclinical experiments, and may retard functional recovery. Elucidation of the relationship between HMGB-1 levels and the rate of functional recovery after stroke could lead to a better understanding of the systemic inflammatory response and more targeted therapeutic interventions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cytokine levels (HMGB-1) in plasma samples

    Measured: day 1, day7, day 14, day 30, day 90

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. NIH and Rankin Clinical Measures of functional recovery

    Measured: day 1, day7, day 14, day 30, day 90

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted12 Oct 2012 (estimated)
  2. Study startSep 2012
  3. Primary completionDec 2017
  4. Study completionFeb 2018

Why it stopped: study stopped because patient access became extremely limited for the initial data entry point.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cerebrovascular Accident and Cerebral Stroke, run by Northwell Health at 2 sites 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 2 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 2018. 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 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: study stopped because patient access became extremely limited for the initial data entry point.). 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?

Cytokine levels (HMGB-1) in plasma samples (time frame: day 1, day7, day 14, day 30, day 90). 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 NCT01705353, 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 12 Mar 2018.
