Trial summary

In the USA, every year 795,000 patients suffer a cerebral vascular accident (CVA), which represents a yearly cost of $73.7 billion. CVA is the third main cause of death and the main source of acquired handicap in adults, as a result it is now a key priority in public health and part of " The CVA National Action Plan… Read more about this study

About this study

In the USA, every year 795,000 patients suffer a cerebral vascular accident (CVA), which represents a yearly cost of $73.7 billion. CVA is the third main cause of death and the main source of acquired handicap in adults, as a result it is now a key priority in public health and part of " The CVA National Action Plan 2013-2014".

Copeptin is a polypeptide, by- product of Vasopressin metabolism. The increase of Copeptin plasma level, as for Vasopressin, is connected to hydric balance disorders found in cardio-vascular, renal and endocrine diseases. This link has already shown its interest in the early diagnosis of myocardial infarction and, in a more indirect way, CVA.

Copeptin is associated with acute endogenous stress. It seems to have interesting potential in the diagnosis of CVA by its negative predictive value like D-dimeres in pulmonary embolism. Proadrenomedullin and Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) are both associated with the prognosis of cardio-vascular diseases and could be interesting in evaluating CVA prognosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the minimum level of Copeptin required to determine if the patients present with acute CVA or not.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing (for each intervention) and Blood test in people with Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA), run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 1 site in France.

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 8 inclusion and 16 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 9 Mar 2021. 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 France. 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 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?

Determine the minimum level of Copeptin required to determine if the patients present with acute CVA or not. (time frame: Participants will be followed during 90 days). 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 9 Mar 2021.
