About this study

The main hypothesis of this work is that an approach combining clinical parameters and biomarker assays could improve the understanding and prediction of the occurrence of silent atrial fibrillation (AF) in the acute phase after stroke. In this prospective work, the investigators will rely on the Dijon Stroke Registry, which collects extensive clinical data for each patient hospitalized for a stroke. As part of this registry, patients are seen 6 months after stroke to assess their clinical status. This clinical follow-up will allow us to judge the evolution of the AF diagnosed during the acute episode at a distance.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood sampleBiological

    2 ml of blood for testing for serum biomarkers (IL-6, GDF-15, soluble ST-2 soluble, osteoprotegerin, galectin 3)

  • Long term ECG monitorProcedure or surgery

    Fitting and removal of a long term ECG monitor (SpiderFlash, LivaNova)

  • Monitoring ECGProcedure or surgery

    Recording of automatic ECG monitor results (CSM Philips IntelliVue MP50 system)

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation during continuous monitoring in a Stroke unit within six months of stroke.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon at 1 site in France.

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 7 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 25 Jun 2024. 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 France. 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?

Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation during continuous monitoring in a Stroke unit within six months of stroke. (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT03570060, 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 25 Jun 2024.
