About this study

Official title: Reperfusion in Acute Stroke - Creating the Clinical Decision-Making Tool (RESOLVE)

Despite abundant evident supporting the use of acute reperfusion therapy in the setting of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), adoption of this practice in routine clinical care is poor. We hypothesize that a significant barrier is the difficulty in weighing the benefits and risks of rt-PA treatment in the care of an individual patient, a problem compounded by the time urgency of decision-making and clinical fears that weigh risks of treatment more heavily than benefits.

The goal of this Quality Improvement (QI) study is to leverage an IT solution that we have developed, ePRISM, that executes multivariable risk models with patient-specific data so that a personalized estimate of an individual's outcomes (both risks and benefits) with and without rt-PA, can be generated so support safer, more effective clinical care. Through an earlier project, we will have programmed ePRISM with the best available risk-stratification models and developed a clinically useful format for presenting the data to support clinical decision-making in AIS.

Through QI, we propose to identify the optimal mechanism for integrating the tool within the routine flow of patient care in preparation for more definitive studies, or dissemination strategies, to improve the treatment of patients with AIS.

Read the detailed description

Specific Aim 1: Implement ePRISM and the RESOLVE Decision Aid (DA) at 2 sites (Saint Luke's Hospital in Kansas City and Saint Luke's North) for Emergency Department (ED) access and decision support.

  1. Procedures and Evaluation
  2. Map process flow and define the optimal points of care for both the informed consent and decision aid.
  3. Pre-implementation registry or data retrieval of patient/family satisfaction with information during consent process pre-PRISM, as well as time from presentation to treatment.
  4. Implementation of ePRISM software and the RESOLVE DA.
  5. Monitor proportion of patients in whom the RESOLVE DA is used.
  6. Post-implementation registry or data retrieval of patient/family satisfaction and knowledge, as well as time from presentation to treatment.
  7. Interviews of providers on confidence in making treatment decisions.
  8. Monitor patient outcomes through 90 day follow up phone call as per the standard of care.

Specific Aim 2: Implement ePRISM and the RESOLVE DA onsite at the the Barnes Jewish Hospital Emergency Department. After optimizing the integration of ePRISM and the RESOLVE DA at Saint Luke's Hospital and Saint Luke's North, we will evaluate strategies for implementation at Barnes Jewish Hospital's Emergency Department Telestroke Program.

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful implementation of ePRISM and the RESOLVE DA in 3 ED's and a telestroke program.

    Successful implementation of ePRISM and the RESOLVE DA in 3 ED's and a telestroke program. Successful implementation is defined as: 1) the activation of ePRISM and generation the RESOLVE DA by ePRISM; 2) the staff and clinician's reported value of the new RESOLVE DA for use during the rt-PA decision making process.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Patient/family satisfaction.

    Patient/family satisfaction with PRISM for Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS).

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Knowledge transfer.

    Knowledge transfer of AIS and rt-PA risks and benefits through survey.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by Saint Luke's Health System.

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 10 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 19 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Successful implementation of ePRISM and the RESOLVE DA in 3 ED's and a telestroke program. (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT01864928, 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 19 Oct 2021.
