About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Security of an Endovascular Treatment as First Choice Procedure Compared With a Standard Intravenous Thrombolytic Therapy Treatment for Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Within 4.5 Hours After Onset: A Prospective Cohorts Study

This study will compare two ways of treatment for acute ischemic stroke: an endovascular treatment (EVT), defined as intraarterial thrombolysis and/or mechanical thrombectomy as a first choice treatment versus intravenous thrombolytic therapy (IVT) only or followed by EVT in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to a main brain artery occlusion within 4.5 hours after onset. Patients treated with IVT only or with IVT followed by EVT will be analyzed separately.

Being tested
EVT (endovascular treatment ), IVT (intravenous thrombolytic therapy)
Keywords
Ischaemic Stroke, Main artery occlusion, Endovascular treatment, Intravenous Thrombolytic Therapy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EVT (endovascular treatment )Procedure or surgery

  • IVT (intravenous thrombolytic therapy)Procedure or surgery

Study groups in NCT02164357
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
EVTPatients receiving endovascular treatment (EVT) within 4.5 hours after onset because intravenous thrombolytic therapy (IVT) is contraindicated
Receives: Procedure: EVT (endovascular treatment )
IVT + EVTPatients receiving intravenous thrombolytic therapy (IVT) followed by endovascular treatment (EVT) within 4.5 hours after onset
Receives: Procedure: EVT (endovascular treatment ); Procedure: IVT (intravenous thrombolytic therapy)
IVT (intravenous thrombolytic therapy)Patients that will received IVT only within 4.5 hours after onset
Receives: Procedure: IVT (intravenous thrombolytic therapy)

What is being measured

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

  1. Death within 90 days after onset

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Stroke recovery rate after discharge

    Recovery defined as a 10-fold decrease in NIHSS or NIHSS (7 days after onset or at discharge)

    Measured: From onset to discharge

  2. Functional recovery

    Modified Rankin Score (RMS) value

    Measured: 4.5 hours after onset

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Ischaemic Stroke, run by Fundacion para la Investigacion Biomedica del Hospital Universitario Ramon y Cajal at 5 sites in Spain.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Spain. 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?

Death within 90 days after onset (time frame: 90 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02164357, 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 18 Dec 2015.
