About this study
Official title: Emergency Stroke Unit for Acute Cerebrovascular Events--A Prospective, Multicenter, Week-wise Randomized, Controlled Trial ( ESU-ACE-B )
To compare the door-to-puncture time of patients with hyperacute ischemic stroke (between 4.5-6 hours after the onset of symptoms) treated in a standard stroke unit adherent to guidelines versus treated in Emergency Stroke Unit (a new stroke unit based on low-field magnetic resonance imaging).
Read the detailed description
Mechanical thrombectomy is an effective reperfusion therapy for patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion. Faster door-to-puncture time (DPT) is associated with significantly better clinical outcomes. With the development of low-field magnetic resonance imaging, it is poised to play an increasingly significant role in the early diagnosis and management of acute ischemic stroke. This prospective, multicenter, week-wise randomized controlled trial will compare the door-to-puncture time of patients with hyperacute ischemic stroke (between 4.5-6 hours after the onset of symptoms) managed in a standard stroke unit adherent to guidelines versus managed in Emergency Stroke Unit (a new stroke unit based on low-field magnetic resonance imaging).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Emergency Stroke Unit based on 0.23-T MRI and Standard stroke unit adherent to guidelines in people with Ischemic Stroke, Acute, run by Yongjun Wang 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 7 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 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 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Yongjun Wang (59978555, yongjunwang111@aliyun.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Door-to-puncture time (time frame: Door-to-puncture time). 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 12 Aug 2024.
