Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether Thromboelastography (TEG) parameters on admission might be predictive for early neurological deterioration in acute ischemic stroke patients, specifically for the DWI lesion evolution within the first week after stroke onset.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population includes consecutively admitted patients with acute ischemic stroke in Dongguan people's Hospital. Patients would take TEG study within 6 hours after admission, as well as other routine lab tests. Serial MRI studies would be taken on admission and followed up on 7th day afterward, except when patients experience END, in which case followup MRI should be preformed immediately.

Who may be able to join

  • acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours after symptom onset
  • first ever stroke
  • give informed consent

Who cannot join

  • receiving thrombolysis
  • cardiogenic embolism
  • contradiction to serial MRI studies
  • taking hemostatic agents (warfarin, oral anticoagulants and etc. )

About this study

Official title: Predictive Significance of Thrombelastography on Early Neurological Deterioration in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether Thromboelastography (TEG) parameters on admission might be predictive for early neurological deterioration in acute ischemic stroke patients, specifically for the DWI lesion evolution within the first week after stroke onset.

Read the detailed description

Early neurological deterioration (END ) is a major concern in stroke care, consistently associated with adverse clinical outcomes.END is a heterogeneous complex of pathophysiological and clinical entities. Despite some straight forward causes, DWI lesion growth is reportedly a primary underlying mechanism. Early recognition of END risk would allow for timely identification and proper intervention, improving stroke health care.

Thromboelastography (TEG) measures the coagulation process from initial clotting cascade to clot strength, providing an integrated picture of two separate but simultaneously occuring components of coagulation, thrombosis and lysis. It has been reported to be associated with short and long-term outcome in patients with trauma, coronary artery diseases , pulmonary embolism and, most recently, stroke prevention.The purposes of this study is to evaluate how effective TEG is on predicting END, by producing a range of TEG values correlated with clinical and radiological assessment.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
End and non-END groupsEND was denied as NIHSS score increase of 2 or more than 2 within 7 days after admission

What is being measured

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

  1. END

    increase of NIHSS >=2

    Measured: fist week after admission

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. DWI lesion growth

    Large volume or new lesions on followup DWI than the baseline DWI

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by Dongguan People's Hospital 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 4 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 16 Oct 2017. 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?

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?

END (time frame: fist week after admission). 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 16 Oct 2017.
