Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis caused by intracranial atherosclerosis

Who may be able to join

  • Participants had a symptomatic intracranial stenosis of 70-99 percentage (%) with a lesion length of ≤15 mm and target vessel diameter of ≥2.0 mm in the intracranial internal carotid, middle cerebral, intracranial vertebral or basilar arteries and the measurements of stenosis will be made on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) using the Warfarin-Aspirin Symptomatic Intracranial Disease (WASID) trial method and confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA).
  • Presented with transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke within the past 12 months attributed to the stenosis.

Who cannot join

  • Participants with acute infarctions within the past 3 weeks.
  • Severe arterial tortuosity prevents the deployment of endovascular devices.
  • Non-atherosclerotic lesion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), embolic or perforator stroke on MRI or computerized tomography (CT).
  • A baseline modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of >3.
  • Massive cerebral infarction (>1/2 middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory), intracranial hemorrhage, epidural or sub-dural hemorrhage, and intracranial brain tumor on CT or MRI scan.

Intracranial Arteriosclerosis

What is being measured

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

  1. Cerebrovascular events

    Any stroke (including ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke) or TIA after stenting within the territory of the target vessel.

    Measured: 30 days after stenting

  2. Death

    Death after stenting within the territory of target vessel.

    Measured: 30 days after stenting

  3. Cerebrovascular events

    Ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke within the territory of the target vessel.

    Measured: 30 days to1 year after stenting

  4. Death

    Vascular death after stenting within the territory of target vessel

    Measured: 30 days to1 year after stenting

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Complications

    During the peri-operative period, complications such as vasospasms, acute thrombosis, vascular rupture, cerebral infarction, and cerebral haemorrhage will be recorded.

    Measured: Peri-operative period

  2. Number of participants with restenosis

    Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) will be used to calculate the number and incidence of restenosis among all participants.

    Measured: 1 year after stenting

  3. The degree of restenosis of the target vessel

    The degree of restenosis will be assessed by performing magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) using the Warfarin-Aspirin Symptomatic Intracranial Disease (WASID) trial method for the measurements of arterial stenosis.

    Measured: 1 year after stenting

  4. Change from baseline in The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score

    The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score is a tool used to objectively quantify the impairment caused by a stroke and to evaluate stroke severity. It ranges from 0 to 42, with 42 being the highest and 0 being the lowest. The higher the NIHSS score, the worse the neurological function.

    Measured: Baseline and 30 days after stenting

  5. Change from baseline in modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score

    The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke.it ranges from 0 to 6 .The higher the mRS score, the worse the prognosis.

    Measured: Baseline and 30 days after stenting

  6. Change from baseline in The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score

    The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score is a tool used to objectively quantify the impairment caused by a stroke and to evaluate stroke severity. It ranges from 0 to 42, with 42 being the highest and 0 being the lowest. The higher the NIHSS score, the worse the neurological function.

    Measured: Baseline and 1 year after stenting

  7. Change from baseline in modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score

    The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke.it ranges from 0 to 6 .The higher the mRS score, the worse the prognosis.

    Measured: Baseline and 1 year after stenting

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intracranial Atherosclerosis, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 18 Apr 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 Egypt. 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?

Cerebrovascular events (time frame: 30 days after stenting). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Apr 2024.
