About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Prospective, Control Study to Evaluate of Thrombectomy With Solitaire in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Solitaire thrombectomy in Chinese patients with acute stroke within 12 hours of symptom onset.

Read the detailed description

This study is a multicenter, prospective, control study. Patients with acute ischemic stroke who meet inclusion criteria would be enrolled in the study. If the patient or patient's legally authorized representative decides that the patient should receive the intervention operation and signs the informed consent of intervention operation, the patient will be assigned to the intervention group. If the patient participates in the EAST study but refuses intervention after notified of all the benefits and risk of intervention and conservative treatment, the patient will be assigned to the control group.There will be 150 patients enrolled in each group. Patients in the intervention group will be treated with mechanical recanalization using Solitaire plus standard medical therapy. Patients in the control group will receive standard medical therapy alone.

All patients were followed up for 90 days upon enrollment. During the trial, multiple indicators will be assessed in all patients at baseline, 24hours,14days (or at discharge, whichever occurs first) and 90 days. Primary efficacy endpoint will be functional independence as defined by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≤ 2 at 90 days or function improvement by mRS shift analysis.Primary procedure efficacy endpoint will be arterial recanalization of the occluded target vessel measured by Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) score equal or superior to 2b right following the use of the Study Device. Primary safety endpoint is systematic ICH with 24 ±3hrs post procedure.The secondary endpoints include: rate of device-related and procedure related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) at 14 days or discharge; volume of cerebral infarction as measured by a CT scan at 24 ±3hrs post procedure; arterial reperfusion measured by reperfusion ratio on CT scan 24 ±3hrs post procedure; infarction in subjects who achieved TICI 2b-3 reperfusion without intracranial hemorrhage;death due to any cause at 14days or discharge and at 90 days; change in NIHSSat 24±3hrs post procedure;change in NIHSS at 14 days or discharge post procedure; change in NIHSSat 90 ± 7days; quality of life at 90± 7days; the proportion of patients who suffer a Safety Outcome : the proportion of patients with the composite of: (i) symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (ii) major bleeding due to femoral artery access complications including groin hematoma, retroperitoneal hematoma (iii) contrast nephropathy;economic (cost-effectiveness) analysis;evaluation of waiver/deferral of consent process; the total radiation dose (CT, CTA, angiography) reported as a continuous measure;the proportion of patients with malignant MCA infarction;the proportion of patients undergoing hemicraniectomy.

Because a substantial number of patients are expected to have intracranial atherosclerosis, subgroup analysis will also be carried out on this group of patient. The clinical outcomes, the final TICI score after angioplasty and possible stenting, and symptomatic ICH (including SAH) and immediate re-thrombosis rate will be included in the subgroup analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Interventional treatment with Solitaire in people with Ischemic Stroke, run by Ministry of Science and Technology of the People´s Republic of China at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 26 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 21 Jun 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 China. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Functional independence as defined by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≤ 2 at 90 days or by functional improvement as defined by mRS using shift analysis (time frame: 90 days). The study lists 3 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 NCT02350283, 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 21 Jun 2017.
