What participants receive

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

  • TerazosinDrug

    Also called TZ

    TZ 0.5mg once a day for 3-7 days before carotid artery stenting to 30 days later.

  • Carotid artery stentingProcedure or surgery

    Also called CAS

    Carotid artery stenting is an alternative treatment of carotid artery stenosis, which would be performed by experienced neuroradiologist according to the latest guideline from American Heart Association and American Stroke Association.

What is being measured

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

  1. Participants who got New DWI Lesions (MRI)

    Patients who got new ischemic lesions as defined by DWI MRI within 48 hours after carotid artery stenting

    Measured: Within 48 hours after carotid artery stenting

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Number of New DWI Lesions (MRI)

    Number of new ischemic lesions as defined by DWI MRI within 48 hours after carotid artery stenting

    Measured: Within 48 hours after carotid artery stenting

  2. Volume of New DWI Lesions (MRI)

    Volume of new ischemic lesions as defined by DWI MRI within 48 hours after carotid artery stenting

    Measured: Within 48 hours after carotid artery stenting

  3. Number of patients with New DWI Lesions (MRI) diameter greater than 5mm

    Patients who got new ischemic lesions diameter greater than 5mm as defined by DWI MRI within 48 hours carotid artery stenting

    Measured: Within 48 hours after carotid artery stenting

  4. Number of Patients with Cerebrovascular Events, Cardiovascular Events or Death.

    Cerebrovascular events included ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), cerebral hemorrhage and hyperperfusion syndrome. Cardiovascular events included angina and myocardial infarction. Death included any reason caused death.

    Measured: From baseline to 30 days after treatment

  5. Laboratory Examination

    Laboratory Examination before and post-treatment

    Measured: Before and 24 hours after carotid artery stenting

  6. Number of Patients underwent hypertensive treatment due to post-procedure hypotention

    Number of Patients underwent hypertensive treatment due to post-procedure hypotention

    Measured: 0-7 days or discharge which comes early

  7. Number of Patients with Any Side Events

    Any side events caused by TZ, regular treatment or CAS

    Measured: From baseline to 30 days after treatment

  8. Mortality

    Any cause of death

    Measured: From baseline to 30 days after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Terazosin and Carotid artery stenting in people with Carotid Artery Stenosis, run by Capital Medical University at 2 sites 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 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 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 2 sites 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xunming Ji, MD PhD (+86-83198952, jixunming@vip.163.com; jiangfanghappy@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Participants who got New DWI Lesions (MRI) (time frame: Within 48 hours after carotid artery stenting). 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 11 Dec 2018.
