About this study

Official title: The Neuroprotective Effect of Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Aneurysm Coiling

The overall incidence of DWI positive for thromboembolic events following endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms is proximately 50%. Whether remote ischemic conditioning was safe and effective to reduce ischemic brain lesions on DWI after endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms is still unclear. The investigators' hypothesis is that remote ischemic conditioning is a safe and effective strategy to reduce new ischemic lesions in intracranial aneurysms patients undergoing endovascular treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • remote ischemic conditioningDevice

    Remote ischemic conditioning is performed by using an electric autocontrol device with cuffs that inflated to a pressure of 200 mm Hg during the ischemic period (Patent No. CN200820123637.X, China)

  • sham remote ischemic conditioningDevice

    sham remote ischemic conditioning is performed by using an electric autocontrol device with cuffs that inflated to a pressure of 60 mm Hg

What is being measured

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

  1. The presence of ≥1 new brain lesions on DWI

    Assessed by DWI

    Measured: within 72 hours after endovascular treatment

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of new ischemic lesions

    Measured: within 72 hours after endovascular treatment

  2. Volume of new ischemic lesions

    Measured: within 72 hours after endovascular treatment

  3. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale

    Scores on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating more severe neurologic deficits.

    Measured: 7 days or discharge

  4. Cerebrovascular events

    Cerebrovascular events included ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, and TIA.

    Measured: 30 days

  5. Nondisabling events

    Scores on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating more severe neurologic deficits.National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale ≤3 or TIA is defined as nondisabling events

    Measured: 30 days

  6. Modified Rankin Scale

    Scores on the modified Rankin scale of functional disability range from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death).

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing remote ischemic conditioning in people with Aneurysm, run by Capital Medical University at 6 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 5 inclusion and 8 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 23 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Xunming Ji, MD (008601083198930, jixm@ccmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The presence of ≥1 new brain lesions on DWI (time frame: within 72 hours after endovascular treatment). 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 23 Nov 2018.
