Trial summary

Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability and the second most common cause of death worldwide. Currently, the protocols require the imaging techniques at the hospitals to differ ischemic strokes with large vessel occlusion (LVO) from others. Read more about this study

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with stroke code activated will be recruited at a pre-hospital and hospital environment.

About this study

Official title: Study of the Potential Use of a Rapid Point-of-Care Device for the Direct Transfer of Stroke Patients From the Ambulance to the Thrombectomy Center

Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability and the second most common cause of death worldwide. Currently, the protocols require the imaging techniques at the hospitals to differ ischemic strokes with large vessel occlusion (LVO) from others. In this study, a duplex POC will be used in combination with an APP to identify LVO ischemic strokes in a 800 patients'cohort with pre-hospital and in-hospital blood samples.

Read the detailed description

Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability and the second most common cause of death worldwide, accounting for around 6.7 million deaths each year. The burden of stroke due to illness, disability and early death is set to double within the next 15 years due to an ageing population. Currently, imaging techniques are required to differentiate ischemic strokes with large vessel occlusion (LVO) from others. Since those neuroimages cannot be easily done at a pre-hospital level, our objective is to develop a simple point-of-care test (POC) to differentiate between both ischemic strokes during the acute phase, which will allow in the future an earlier thrombectomy treatment and an improvement of the patient outcomes significantly. For that, the investigators will recruit a 800 patients' cohort with pre-hospital and in-hospital blood samples by a multiplex POC for the biomarker measurement using an APP in combination with clinical data to identify LVO ischemic strokes. Finally, an interim analysis is planned when 400 patients are recruited.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the diagnosis accuracy of the algorithm LVOCheck (Specificity and sensibility)

    • Biomarkers
    • Clinical data (gender, age, diabetes, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation, blood pressure)
    • Neurologic scales (NIHSS, RACE, GFAST, Cincinatti)

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Viability of the implement of the tool at a pre-hospital environment

    • Estimated time in patients direct potentially transferred to the thrombectomy centers.
    • Error rate in tool performance at a pre-hospital and hospital environment.
    • Percentage of right use of the tool (human failares) at a pre-hospital and hospital environment.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke, Acute Ischemic, run by Fundación Pública Andaluza para la gestión de la Investigación en Sevilla at 16 sites in Spain.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in Spain. 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?

Evaluation of the diagnosis accuracy of the algorithm LVOCheck (Specificity and sensibility) (time frame: 6 months). 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 Nov 2024.
