About this study

Stroke is a major public health issue in developed countries. A full etiological work up within a short time is critical to implement the appropriate preventive treatment. The etiological work up is actually based on a clinical examination and on a group of paraclinical examinations. The realization of the standard strategy is time consuming, and increase the cost of the medical care. A non-invasive one-shot examination of the heart, the aorta and the cervical and intracranial arteries (cci-MRI) could overcome these disadvantages.The investigator therefore propose to carry out an overall assessment of the performance of the cci-MR in the etiological work up of ischemic strokes and TIAs compared to the reference strategy

Being tested
Current guidelines, cc-MRI
Medical subject headings
Ischemic Stroke, Ischemic Attack, Transient

What participants receive

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

  • Current guidelinesOther

    doppler ultrasound and/or angio CT-scan of the cervical arteries, angio CT-scan of the intracranial arteries, TTE wich can be supplemented by a TEE at the discretion of the investigator. The TEE is not mandatory

  • cc-MRIOther

    of one-shot cardiac-cervical-intracranial MRI: cardiac MRI with late-enhancement, angio-MRI of the cervical and intracranial arteries

Study groups in NCT04790357
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Reference strategyOthercorrespond to the reference techniques according to the current guidelines in the etiological work up of ischemic strokes and TIA
Receives: Other: Current guidelines
Evaluated strategyOthercorrespond to perform the cci-MR: cardiac MRI with late-enhancement, angio-MRI of the cervical and intracranial arteries
Receives: Other: cc-MRI

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the consistency between the reference strategy and the cci-MR strategy for etiological work up according to the ASCOD classification, in ischemic stroke and TIA patients

    The primary endpoint will be based on the consistency for each patient of the etiological work up according to the ASCOD classification evaluated with cci-MR in comparison of the reference strategy

    Measured: Within 8 days after hospitalization

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. To assess the reproducibility of the assessment of the cci-MR results

    The reproducibility of the assessment of the cci-MR results will be based on the following endpoints:

    • Double reading; Concordance intra and inter reviewer

    Measured: Within 8 days after hospitalization

  2. To evaluate the agreement between cci-MR and the reference method for each etiological subgroup: in the context of ischemic stroke or TIA.

    Agreement for each etiological subgroup between cci-MR and the reference method.

    Measured: Within 8 days after hospitalization

  3. To assess the improvement of the detection of myocardial scar with cci-MR compared to reference strategy

    Presence or absence of ischemic myocardial scar

    Measured: Within 8 days after hospitalization

  4. To assess the atherosclerotic burden (coronary, intracranial, cervical, aortic) assessed with cci-MR compared to the reference strategy,

    Presence or absence of coronary, intracranial, cervical, aortic atheroma. The diagnostic work up will focus on cervical artery stenosis ≥ 50%; aortic arch atheroma ≥ 4 mm; intracranial artery stenosis ≥ 50% and presence of ischemic myocardial scar. The scar pattern was classified as ischemic if its distribution was sub-endocardial to transmural within a coronary vascular territory and if scar was associated with segmental systolic dysfunction on corresponding cine images. Atherosclerotic burden will be classified in 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 atherosclerotic levels according to the number of arterial territories affected by at least one significant abnormality.

    Measured: Within 8 days after hospitalization

  5. To assess the additional yield of cci-MR in cryptogenic patients and in those with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) with the reference strategy (ref Hart et al., Lancet Neurol. 2014:13:429-438.)

    Etiology subtype according to ASCOD classification with the reference strategy + cci-MR in cryptogenic patients and in the subgroup of patients with ESUS with the reference strategy

    Measured: Within 8 days after hospitalization

  6. To assess the rate of TEE recommended according to the opinion of the expert committee from data obtained with cci-MR and the reference strategy

    Presence or absence of recommendation to realize a TEE according to the opinion of the expert committee from data obtained with cci-MR and with the reference strategy

    Measured: Within 8 days after hospitalization

  7. To assess the rate of additional cardiologic advice recommended according to the opinion of the expert committee from data obtained with cci-MR and with the reference strategy

    Presence or absence of recommendation to have a cardiologic advice according to the opinion of the expert committee from data obtained cci-MR and with the reference strategy

    Measured: Within 8 days after hospitalization

  8. To assess the preventive treatment recommended (antithrombotic drugs and specific treatments) according to the opinion of the expert committee from data obtained with cci-MR and with the reference strategy

    Presence or absence of recommendation of having antiplatelet, anticoagulant, and of having a specific care (carotid surgery, PFO closure…) according to the opinion of the expert committee from data obtained with cci-MR and with the reference strategy

    Measured: Within 8 days after hospitalization

  9. To assess the feasibility of the examinations (rate of completed examinations, deadline to obtain each examination, deadline to obtain all examinations including in each strategy)

    Presence or absence of full completed examinations, deadline between the date of ischemic stroke or TIA and each examination, deadline between the date of ischemic stroke or TIA and the end of all examinations including in each strategy

    Measured: Within 8 days after hospitalization

  10. To assess the feeling of the patient about cci-MR and the reference strategy

    Level of satisfaction of the patient about cci-MR and the reference strategy

    Measured: Within 8 days after hospitalization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Current guidelines and cc-MRI in people with Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon 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 6 inclusion and 7 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?

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.
