About this study

Official title: Multifactorial Risk Stratification in Patients With Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack and Structural, Inflammatory, or Arrhythmogenic Cardiac Disease

Prospective registry for multifactorial risk factor assessment, enrolling consecutive ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack patients with structural, inflammatory, or arrhythmogenic cardiac disease, who are admitted to our University Hospital.

Read the detailed description

The prospective registry shall provide new insights into the multiple associations, and respective therapeutic implications of cardio-vascular risk factors and stroke. For that reason consecutive patients with ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack (brain, spinal cord, or retinal) and structural (e.g. patent foramen ovale), septic or aseptic endocarditis or myocarditis, or supra-ventricular or ventricular arrhythmia, who are admitted to our University Hospital, are enrolled. Multifactorial assessment of risk factors is based on medical history, laboratory biomarkers, electrocardiogram incl. cardiac autonomic function analysis, and (long-term) cardiac rhythm monitoring, as well as transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. Inclusion of follow-up visits permit longitudinal and prognostic evaluation of routine diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for secondary stroke prevention (e.g. implantable loop recorders or interventional closure of patent foramen ovale).

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of any stroke

    Recurrent ischemic stroke or intracranial hemorrhage during follow-up

    Measured: ≥ 12 months

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Rate of mortality

    Death from any cause during follow-up

    Measured: ≥ 12 months

  2. Rate of ischemic stroke

    Ischemic stroke recurrence during follow-up

    Measured: ≥ 12 months

  3. Rate of transient ischemic attack

    Transient ischemic attack recurrence during follow-up

    Measured: ≥ 12 months

  4. Rate of systemic embolism

    Systemic embolism during follow-up

    Measured: ≥ 12 months

  5. Rate of myocardial infarction

    Myocardial infarction during follow-up

    Measured: ≥ 12 months

  6. Rate of intracranial hemorrhage

    Intracranial hemorrhage during follow-up

    Measured: ≥ 12 months

  7. Rate of major Bleedings

    Major Bleedings during follow-up

    Measured: ≥ 12 months

  8. Rate of major or clinically relevant non-major bleedings

    Major or clinically relevant non-major bleedings during follow-up

    Measured: ≥ 12 months

  9. Rate of serious adverse events

    Serious adverse events during follow-up

    Measured: ≥ 12 months

  10. Rate of new-onset atrial fibrillation

    Detection of atrial fibrillation during follow-up

    Measured: ≥ 12 months

  11. modified Rankin Score; range from 0 to 6, with '0' indicating the best outcome (i.e. no deficit), and '6' the worst outcome (i.e. death)

    modified Rankin Scale score at follow-up

    Measured: ≥ 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke and Cardiac Disease, run by University Hospital Tuebingen.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 22 Apr 2020. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Rate of any stroke (time frame: ≥ 12 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 NCT04352790, 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 22 Apr 2020.
