About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Study of Intra-arterial Mechanical Angioplasty Using a SOLITAIRE™ X Stent for Refractory and Recurrent Vasospasm Mechanical Intracranial Artery DilAtation Using Stent-retriever for Cerebral Vasospasm

Solitaire-x is a stent-retriever that is currently world-widely used, but is currently FDA-approved only as a revascularization device indicated for use to restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. Its utility for mechanical endovascular dilatation for refractory intracranial vasospasm is an off-label indication. In this reason, we designed single-arm, prospective study, which aimed to report the safety and effectiveness of Solitaire-X in CV after subarachnoid Prospective exploratory study, single arm (off label), single center study

Read the detailed description

Prospective exploratory study, single arm (off label), single center study I. Procedure \& Intervention

  1. Assess the presence and degree of cerebral vasospasm of the target vessel through cerebral angiography before the procedure.
  2. Solitaire-X stent types are selected
  3. During the stent-angioplasty, IA nimodipine was also infused.
  4. Retrieve Solitaire-X after maintaining deployment for 3 minutes.
  5. Additional procedures are determined through immediate post-procedure and 15-minute delayed cerebral angiography.
Being tested
stent-angioplasty & nimodipine infusion (During the stent (Solitaire-X) -angioplasty, IA nimodipine was also infused)

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess the safety (adverse events) of the interventional procedure.

    Measured: at 24 hours and 72 hours after the intervention at 3 months after Cerebral Vasospasm Onset.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Intervention Success Rate

    Recovery of more than 50% of the pre-procedure vessel diameter, measured at 24 hours and 72 hours after the intervention.

    Measured: at 24 hours and 72 hours after the intervention at 3 months after Cerebral Vasospasm Onset.

  2. Whether additional treatment is required after intervention (; in relation to cerebral vasospasm) questionnaire

    Measured: On the 1 day of the subject's intervention

  3. Symptom Improvement (NIHSS)

    NIHSS: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale Score 0: no stroke Score 1-4: minor stroke Score 5-15: moderate stroke Score 15-20: moderate to severe stroke Score 21-42: severe stroke

    Measured: Improvement in NIHSS at 3 months after Cerebral Vasospasm Onset.

  4. Clinical Improvement (mRS)

    mRS: Modified Rankin Score 0: None

    1. No significant disability despite symptoms: able to carry out all usual duties and activities
    2. Slight disability: unable to carry out all previous activities, but able to look after own affairs without assistance
    3. Moderate disability: requiring some help, but able to walk without assistance
    4. Moderately severe disability: unable to walk without assistance, unable to attend to needs without assistance
    5. Severe disability: bed-ridden, incontinent, and requiring constant nursing care and attention
    6. Dead

    Measured: at 24 hours and 72 hours after the intervention at 3 months after Cerebral Vasospasm Onset.

  5. Degree of Cerebral Vasospasm

    • Visual classification: Cerebral vasospasm grades (CVSG). Grade 0 All intracranial vessels show a physiological shape Grade 1 Vasospasm affects the A2, A1, and M2 segments Grade 2 Vasospasm expands to the M1 and terminal segment of the internal carotid artery Grade 3 Severe reduction in the intradural internal carotid artery with filiform A1 and M1 segments, which sometimes appears like a ghost (ghost sign)
    • Degree of diameter reduction
    • None (0-10%),
    • Mild (11-49%),
    • Moderate (50-69%),
    • Severe (70-99%)

    Measured: observed in CT cerebral angiography at 24 hours and 72 hours after the intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing stent-angioplasty & nimodipine infusion (During the stent (Solitaire-X) -angioplasty, IA nimodipine was also infused) in people with Intracranial Vasospasm, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 11 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?

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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?

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?

Assess the safety (adverse events) of the interventional procedure. (time frame: at 24 hours and 72 hours after the intervention at 3 months after Cerebral Vasospasm Onset.). 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 27 Sep 2024.
