Study population: All patients >18 years, referred to our hospital, from January 2011 to October 2018, presenting acute basilar artery occlusion (ABAO) confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging treated by endovascular thrombectomy, with or without intravenous thrombolysis.

Who may be able to join

About this study

Official title: Predicting Value of DWI Total Posterior-circulation Infarct Volume for Endovascular Treatment Outcomes of Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion

Preprocedural predictors of outcome in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (ABAO) who underwent endovascular treatment (EVT) remain controversial. The Investigators aimed to analyse, in patients with ABAO treated by EVT, if pre-EVT DWI total posterior-circulation infarct volume (TPIV) was a predictor of 90-days outcomes

Read the detailed description

Acute basilar artery occlusion (ABAO) is a rare and devastating type of stroke. Endovascular treatment (EVT) is routinely performed in real-world practice, encouraged by the recent result of the basilar artery international cooperation study (BASICS), a randomized controlled study.

ABAO may result in infarcts in the brainstem, cerebellar lobes, thalamus and subthalamic area, or occipitotemporal lobes. Previously, studies using the DWI Posterior-circulation Alberta Stroke Program Early CT (Pc-ASPECT) Score or brainstem score, for predicting outcome in patients with ABAO, showed that the initial infarct extend can affect outcome. Some of these studies included patients tretaed by EVT. But, results showed conflicting findings.

To date, evidence regarding the association between pre-ETVT DWI lesion volume and outcomes is relatively weak and has not yet be determined. Predictors of the outcomes of EVT for anterior circulation include infarcts volume. More recently, authors reported a predictive model of good outcome combining initial DWI infarct volume of less than 10 ml, onset-to-puncture time less than 8 hours and embolic origin in 71 Korean patients undergoing EVT for vertebrobasilar occlusion. Nevertheless, up now, there is not sufficient evidence to reach a consensus.

Using data of our prospective registry, the investigators analyzed consecutive MRI selected, endovascularly treated ABAO patients within the first 24h after symptom-onset. Using the initial Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), baseline total posterior-Circulation infarct volume (TPCIV) was calculated in mL, on an apparent diffusion-coefficient map reconstruction (Olea sphere software).

TPCIV was analyzed in univariate and multivariable models as a predictor of 90-day functional independence (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] 0-2) and mortality. According to received operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the optimal cut-off was determined by maximizing the Youden index, to evaluate the prognostic value of TPCIV.

The Investigators aimed to investigate the relationship between baseline DWI total TPCIV and the 90-days functional outcome and mortality, in a large cohort of ABAO selected by MRI prior to EVT.

What is being measured

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

  1. measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability

    90-day functional outcome A favorable outcome was defined as a 90-day mRS≤2

    Measured: 90 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mortality rate

    Mortality and the cause of death at 90 days

    Measured: 90 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ischemic Stroke, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 4 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 8 Dec 2020. 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?

measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability (time frame: 90 day). 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 8 Dec 2020.
