About this study

Official title: Clinical, Hematological, and Imagiologic Predictors of Postoperative Complications and Long Term Cardiovascular Events After Carotid Endarterectomy With Regional Anesthesia

Establish and validate biomarkers which improve the predictive value of current risk stratification models for patients benefiting from carotid revascularization, outperform existing biomarkers, and reach clinical application standards.

Read the detailed description

The authors hypothesize FGF-23 and GDF-15 could predict cerebral ischemia, postoperative complications and long term major cardiovascular events, particularly in patients developing symptomatic neurologic ischemia after circulation shutdown.

Establish and validate biomarkers which improve the predictive value of current risk stratification models for patients benefiting from carotid revascularization, outperform existing biomarkers, and reach clinical application standards.

Clarify the pathophysiology of carotid endarterectomy-related stroke and the role of GDF-15, FGF-23, BNP and hs-troponin I and other biomarkers in the prognosis of symptomatic carotid stenosis.

Imagiologic markers are to be included - intima-media; gray weale plaque classification, cerebral CT Peak wave velocity

Being tested
Biomarker - FGF 23; troponin I; PCR - high sensitivity; BNP
Medical subject headings
Carotid Stenosis

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Carotid endarterectomyThis study is a non-interventional prospective cohort study. The population corresponds to patients submitted to CEA under regional anesthesia. Consecutive patients from a tertiary referral center who undergo CEA for carotid artery stenosis (CS) will be prospectively recruited. The expected patient follow-up will be of 5 years. The demographics will be recorded in a prospective, protected database. Blood samples will be collected in clot activator serum tubes at three timepoints: timepoint 1 - before surgery (until 15 days before surgery); timepoint 2 up to 48h postoperatively; timepoint
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Biomarker - FGF 23; troponin I; PCR - high sensitivity; BNP

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carotid Stenosis and Carotid Endarterectomy, run by Universidade do Porto at 1 site in Portugal.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 31 Mar 2020. 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 Portugal. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Joao R Neves, MD, MSC; MPH (+351910486230, joaorochaneves@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Stroke (time frame: 30 days, long-term). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Mar 2020.
