About this study

Official title: Magnetic Resonance Post-contrast Vascular Hyperintensities at 3 T: a New Highly Sensitive Sign of Vascular Occlusion in Acute Ischaemic Stroke

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the diagnostic cornerstone for precisely identifying acute ischaemic strokes and locating vascular occlusions.

It was observed that a post-contrast three-dimensional turbo-spin-echo T1weighted sequence showed striking post-contrast vascular hyperintensities (PCVH) in ischaemic territories. The aim is to evaluate the prevalence and the meaning of this finding.

This study included 130 consecutive patients admitted for acute ischaemic stroke with a 3-T MRI performed in the first 12 h of symptom onset from September 2014 through September 2016. Two neuroradiologists blinded to clinical data analysed the first MRI assessments.

What participants receive

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

  • MRI images reviewOther

    MR images were reviewed by one junior radiologist and one senior neuroradiologist, both blinded to clinical, therapeutic and follow-up data.

What is being measured

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

  1. overal survival

    from the AR-PML diagnosis date to that of death or censored on 31 December 2015

    Measured: 7 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Ischaemic Stroke, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 3 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

overal survival (time frame: 7 years). 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 3 Jun 2019.
