About this study

Official title: Mobile Microwave-based Diagnosis and Monitoring of Stroke: on the Road Towards Improved Stroke Triage and Care, Including Prehospital Initiation of Thrombolytic Treatment

This is a prospective, open, multicentre trial that will enrol patients with clinical signs of stroke in the acute phase admitted for CT scan. The study assesses the diagnostic capability and safety of Strokefinder MD100.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, open, multicentre trial that will enrol patients with clinical signs of stroke in the acute phase admitted for CT scan. The investigator will assess and control the inclusion/exclusion criteria. If the patient is confirmed to be suitable for the trial, the patient is asked to give oral informed consent. If the answer is affirmative the microwave measurement will be performed. The procedure will take less than five minutes (the duration of the actual measurement procedure is 1.5 minutes) and will not interfere with the patient's standard of care during the hospital stay. Written informed consent is acquired by the investigator, as soon as possible after the acute phase of care is completed.

The measurement data will be evaluated for the presence of signal artifacts. The diagnostic ability of the device will be evaluated using a leave-one-out cross validation (LOOCV) method with the CT diagnosis as ground truth.

Safety will be evaluated throughout the trial, and a safety follow-up will be performed by the investigator 24 hours after the last microwave measurement. No further follow-up of patients is planned.

Being tested
Hemorrhagic stroke group (group A), Ischemic stroke group (group B), Stroke mimic group (group C)
Medical subject headings
Stroke, Cerebral Hemorrhage

What participants receive

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

  • Hemorrhagic stroke group (group A)Diagnostic test

    Group A: A microwave measurement (Stroke finder MD100) will be performed with the patient lying on the ambulance stretcher, in the hospital bed or another suitable surface.

  • Ischemic stroke group (group B)Diagnostic test

    Group B: A microwave measurement (Stroke finder MD100) will be performed with the patient lying on the ambulance stretcher, in the hospital bed or another suitable surface.

  • Stroke mimic group (group C)Diagnostic test

    Group C: A microwave measurement (Stroke finder MD100) will be performed with the patient lying on the ambulance stretcher, in the hospital bed or another suitable surface.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hemorrhagic stroke group (group A)ExperimentalPatient group A is defined as patients that are diagnosed with hemorrhagic stroke.

Ischemic stroke group (group B)ExperimentalPatient group B is defined as patients that are diagnosed with ischemic stroke.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Ischemic stroke group (group B)
Stroke mimic group (group C)ExperimentalPatient group C is defined as patients with stroke mimics, i.e. with initially suspected stroke but not diagnosed with stroke.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Stroke mimic group (group C)

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the diagnostic ability of the device to diagnose hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke in the prehospital and hospital setting

    The diagnostic ability as measured by the area under the curve of the device for patient groups (group C vs. groups A + B) using the LOOCV method

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adverse events within 24 hours

    Any adverse events occurring within 24 hours from the measurement procedure(s)

    Measured: Baseline to 24 hours

  2. To evaluate the diagnostic ability of the device to differentiate patients with stroke mimics

    To evaluate the diagnostic ability of the device to differentiate patients with stroke mimics from patients with stroke (hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke) in the prehospital and hospital setting

    Measured: Baseline

  3. To evaluate the delivery of adequate measurement data from the device

    To evaluate the delivery of adequate measurement data from the device in the prehospital and hospital setting

    Measured: Baseline

  4. To evaluate the amount of time needed to perform the measurement procedures

    To evaluate the amount of time needed to perform the measurement procedures in the prehospital and hospital settings

    Measured: Basline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hemorrhagic stroke group (group A), Ischemic stroke group (group B) and Stroke mimic group (group C) in people with Stroke, Acute and Intracerebral Hemorrhage, run by Helse Stavanger HF at 4 sites in Norway.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 5 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Norway. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Martin Kurz, PhD (47246847, martin.kurz@sus.no), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the diagnostic ability of the device to diagnose hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke in the prehospital and hospital setting (time frame: Baseline). 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 5 Feb 2020.
