Trial summary

The prediction of motor recovery in the acute phase of stroke is crucial for several clinical reasons: (i) informing the patient and his relatives, (ii) helping to identify the patient's endorsement (return home or rehabilitation) as well as the adaptation of the rehabilitation program to what can be expected from it.

About this study

Official title: Prediction of Post-stroke Motor Recovery: the PREP-AVC Algorithm

The prediction of motor recovery in the acute phase of stroke is crucial for several clinical reasons: (i) informing the patient and his relatives, (ii) helping to identify the patient's endorsement (return home or rehabilitation) as well as the adaptation of the rehabilitation program to what can be expected from it. To date, an algorithm (decision tree) proposed by C. Stinear's team named PREP2 is the best predictive tool with 75% of patients well classified at 3 months. It predicts the functional recovery of the upper limb after stroke 3 months before the episode by categorizing recovery as "excellent", "good", "limited" as well as "minor" (poor). With two data (SAFE score, age) or three (SAFE score, Motor evoked potential, NIHSS), the prediction is effective three times out of 4. In the study the team is proposing "PREP-UCV", it would like to validate this algorithm as it is with patients in the active file who are victims of stroke. The expected accuracy is 75% or more. As a secondary objective, the team would like to confirm that it find the same algorithm starting from the initial data from PREP 2 (side of the stroke, type of stroke (ischemic and / or hemorrhagic), involvement of the corticospinal tract on MRI, sex at birth ) as well as two other factors which are also very important: cognitive status (dysexecutive / aphasia / neglect), as well as the neutrophils on lymphocytes ratio.

Read the detailed description

Retrospective cohort of stroke patients with a upper limb deficit.Clinical scores such as SAFE score, NIHSS; demographic data such as age and electrophysiological data (such as the absence/presence of Motor evoked potential) will determine the predictive functional outcome of the upper limb deficit according to the PREP2 algorithm. The accuracy of this prediction will be verified according to the actual state of the patient at 3-6 months. Second, another algorithm will be built taking in account cognitive deficits and biological data to determine if the accuracy is higher. All data will be acquired during the clinical routine work-up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke and Upper Limb Motor Deficit, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Charlotte ROSSO, MD (1 42 16 21 03 ext. +33, charlotte.rosso@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Accuracy of classification with the PREP2 decision tree (time frame: 6 months). 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 2024.
