Trial summary

Prognosis of small vessel disease (SVD) depends on the underlying type of SVD and index manifestation. The aim of this prospective, observational cohort study is to determine the risk of different outcome events among patients with SVD according to the type of index presentation.

  • Ages 16 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: This is a prospectively recruited cohort of patients treated with cerebral small vessel disease at Inselspital Bern University Hospital. Patients are recruited at the emergency department, neurology in-patient ward, Stroke Unit, IMC, ICU and outpatient clinics.

Who may be able to join

  • Hypertensive deep perforator arteriolopathy (DPA), clinically symptomatic with either ICH, ischaemic stroke, cognitive impairment or severe radiological manifestation (Fazekas ≥II)
  • Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA according to modified Boston or Edinburgh criteria), clinically symptomatic with either ICH (including cSAH), amyloid spells, cognitive impairment or severe radiological manifestation (CMB≥2)
  • Other SVD (i.e. CADASIL or other sporadic or genetic SVD)

Who cannot join

  • Life expectancy of <6 months due to not-SVD related causes (i.e. cancer)
  • Patient is unlikely to attend follow-up visits

What is being measured

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

  1. Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH)

    Non-traumatic, intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH, including convexity subarachnoid haemorrhage)

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Ischaemic stroke

    Defined by CT and/or MRI

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Cardio-vascular death

    According to the treating physician

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Other intracranial bleeding

    Subdural haematoma, subarachnoid haemorrhage

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Other (transient) neurological attacks

    Including transient ischaemic attack (TIA), transient neurological attack (TNA), amyloid spells, (focal) seizures

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Cognitive impairment

    Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA, range 0-30 points) < 26 points (corresponding to impaired cognitive function) and/or new impairment in activities of daily living as defined by the treating physician.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. New-onset of extracranial vascular disease

    As judged by the treating physician

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Functional outcome

    Modified Rankin scale score (ordinal score, range 0-6, a score of 0 corresponds to no symptoms at all, while a score of 6 corresponds to death)

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy and Small Vessel Cerebrovascular Disease, run by Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 2 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 8 Mar 2023. 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 Switzerland. 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 Marianne Kormann (+41 31 632 70 00, studien.stroke@insel.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) (time frame: 1 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 8 Mar 2023.
