About this study

In recent years, researches on the natural history and risk factors of intracranial unruptured aneurysms have become a hot topic at home and abroad. However, risk factors for aneurysm rupture is still unclear yet. The investigators' preliminary study focused on constructing a rupture risk prediction system for intracranial unruptured aneurysm in the investigators' single center. The investigators' result showed that three significant factors (sex, abnormal serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and coincidence of thin-walled regions (TWR) and normalized wall shear stress (NWSS)) stood out by using logistic regression to explore the rupture risk factors of intracranial unruptured aneurysms, which could help guide the clinical treatment of intracranial unruptured aneurysms. This study is to evaluate and improve the rupture predict model of intracranial unruptured aneurysm in multi-neurosurgical centers.

In recent years, researches on the natural history and risk factors of intracranial unruptured aneurysms have become a hot topic at home and abroad. However, risk factors for aneurysm rupture is still unclear yet. The investigators' preliminary study focused on constructing a rupture risk prediction system for intracranial unruptured aneurysm in the investigators' single center. Four aspects for unruptured aneurysms were collected: (1) Patients' basic demographic characteristics; (2) Reconstruction of intracranial unruptured aneurysm wall with 7-Tesla MRI, and explore the technical parameters of 7-Tesla high-resolution black blood MRI scanning intracranial aneurysm wall (0.5 mm isotropic resolution), as well as assessing the relationship between aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE), thin-walled regions (TWR), and hemodynamic parameters and their relationship to aneurysm development; (3) Using hydrodynamics to explore the hemodynamic parameters of intracranial unruptured aneurysms, explore new hydrodynamic parameters and screen rupture-related risk factors; (4) The use of single-cell RNA sequencing technology to explore the infiltration of immune cells in the aneurysm wall tissue of intracranial unruptured aneurysms. Based on the above research results, three significant factors (sex, abnormal serum TNF-α and coincidence of TWR and normalized wall shear stress (NWSS)) stood out by using logistic regression to explore the rupture risk factors of intracranial unruptured aneurysms, which could help guide the clinical treatment of intracranial unruptured aneurysms. This study is to evaluate and improve the rupture predict model of intracranial unruptured aneurysm in multi-neurosurgical centers.

What is being measured

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

  1. Predictive value of coincidence of TWR and NWSS for unruptured aneurysm rupture

    at 5 years, the value of the factor (coincidence of TWR and NWSS) to predict aneurysm rupture risk will be analyzed

    Measured: at 5 year

  2. Predictive value of serum TNF-α for unruptured aneurysm rupture

    at 5 years, the value of the factor (serum TNF-α) to predict aneurysm rupture risk will be analyzed

    Measured: at 5 year

  3. Predictive value of sex for unruptured aneurysm rupture

    at 5 years, the value of the factor (sex) to predict aneurysm rupture risk will be analyzed

    Measured: at 5 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Predictive value of coincidence of TWR and NWSS for unruptured aneurysm growth

  2. Predictive value of serum TNF-α for unruptured aneurysm growth

    at 5 years, the value of the factor (serum TNF-α) to predict aneurysm growth risk will be analyzed

    Measured: at 5 year

  3. Predictive value of sex for unruptured aneurysm growth

    at 5 years, the value of the factor (sex) to predict aneurysm growth risk will be analyzed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intracranial Aneurysm, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 3 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2022. 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 China. 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 Gao Chen (+86 0571 87784813, d-chengao@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Predictive value of coincidence of TWR and NWSS for unruptured aneurysm rupture (time frame: at 5 year). The study lists 3 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 13 Oct 2022.
