About this study

Official title: Implant for Augmentation of Cerebral Blood Flow Trial-1. A Pilot Study Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of the Ischemic Stroke System for Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke

The primary objective of this pilot study is the assessment of the safety of the ISS500 System in patients who have experienced an acute ischemic stroke within the anterior circulation.

The secondary objectives of this study are to examine the effectiveness of the ISS500 System implantation in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.

Read the detailed description

The study is an open label study in which a comparative group of patients will be prospectively selected from a resource of clinical trial data, the Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive (VISTA), on the basis of similar eligibility criteria and match for principal prognostic variables available at trial entry. Data from patients will be transferred to VISTA in a real time or at most, weekly basis and comparative group patients will be prospectively matched throughout the recruitment period. The VISTA investigators will be blinded to treatment group when receiving data from BrainsGate. The VISTA investigators will match each recruited BrainsGate patient with 3 patients from the VISTA archive. The matching criteria will include age ± 4 years; baseline NIH score matched exactly, and side of infarct.

In addition, to the end of treatment visit, in which implanted patients will undergo a device removal procedure, two follow-up visits will be performed. The visits should be performed at 30±5, and at 90±5 post enrollment. Aggregate trial duration will be ~100 days per patient, and the overall study duration will be up to 18 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment successful completion

    The need to stop the treatment sessions completely or alternately.

    Measured: 5 Days

  2. Adverse Events profile at 90 Day compared to VISTA trials data

    Adverse Events profile at 90 days post implantation will be compared to the data retrieved form the VISTA trials.

    Measured: 90 Days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The distribution of modified Rankin scale scores at 90 days

    Shift in the distribution of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at 90 days Favorable outcome is mRS score between 0 and 2

    Measured: 90 Days

  2. NIHSS scores at 90 days

    The distribution of total NIHSS scores at 90 days - binary NIHSS (defined as the proportion of favorable outcomes assessed using the NIHSS scale, where as favorable outcome was a complete recovery (NIHSS 0 or 1) or an improvement by 9 or more points in the NIHSS score

    Measured: 90 Days

  3. Proportion of patients achieving a Barthel index at 90 days

    The proportion of patients achieving a Barthel index of 95-100 (versus 0-90) at 90 days

    Measured: 90 Days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ISS Active Stimulation in people with Ischemic Stricture of Intestine, run by BrainsGate at 2 sites in India.

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 5 inclusion and 32 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 25 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in India. 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?

Treatment successful completion (time frame: 5 Days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03733236, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Jul 2019.
