  • Must be able to provide written Informed Consent (either self or via an LAR) at any point during the hospital stay, or if unable to provide such consent, must have permission granted by the governing IRB to enroll in the study (i.e., waiver of consent).

Who cannot join

  • Known or suspected traumatic brain injury, either closed or penetrating.

  • Presence of any implanted electro-stimulating devices in the head and neck.
  • Presence of any large metallic craniofacial implants, such as bone fixation plates, mesh, et cetera. (Note that small metallic objects, such an aneurysm coils, are acceptable.)

About this study

Official title: VITAL: Volumetric Integral Phase-shift Spectroscopy (VIPS) for the Noninvasive Detection of Hemispheric Bioimpedance Asymmetry in Acute Brain Pathology

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of the Fluids Monitor to detect hemispheric bioimpedance asymmetry associated with acute brain pathology in patients presenting with suspected Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS).

Read the detailed description

A prospective non-significant-risk (NSR) multi-site observational study. This study will examine up to 318 subjects undergoing evaluation for acute brain pathology who directly arrive at, or are transferred to, the participating sites.

Being tested
VIPS Monitoring
Medical subject headings
Stroke, Ischemic Stroke, Hemorrhage, Intracranial Thrombosis, Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Cerebral Infarction, Cerebral Hemorrhage, Brain Injuries

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke and Stroke, Acute, run by Cerebrotech Medical Systems, Inc. at 5 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 5 inclusion and 9 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 12 Dec 2018. 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 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 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?

Hemispheric bioimpedance asymmetry detection (time frame: At the time of VIPS monitoring - day 0). 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 NCT03148340, which also lists 10 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 Dec 2018.
