About this study

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a treatable disease if patients can be transported and treated at stroke centers. MindRhythm, Inc (sponsor) has developed an investigational medical device that is designed for prehospital field use to differentiate the two major forms of acute ischemic stroke, namely Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) stroke and non-large vessel occlusion stroke. The intended use is for paramedics to decide which destination hospital is best for the patient based on the device result. Large vessel occlusion stroke patients should be brought directly to comprehensive stroke centers which can perform thrombectomy, and non-large vessel occlusion stroke should be brought to primary stroke centers. Use of the device will save time getting the patient to thrombectomy and all others to intravenous thrombolytics or blood thinners that clear clots improves outcomes for all patients.

The Harmony 5000 device manufactured by MindRhythm has been tested in the pre-hospital environment, but because large vessel occlusion stroke is less common than non-large vessel occlusion stroke, the sponsor wants to obtain additional recordings from patients with large vessel occlusion to better refine their algorithms. Investigators will perform acute recordings on patients who arrive at the medical center who have computed tomography angiography studies showing the presence of large vessel occlusion stroke stroke, and on patients transferred to the angiography suite for thrombectomy. Recordings are performed in parallel to standard workflow of large vessel occlusion stroke patients so the research will not delay treatments.

Read the detailed description

Eligible participants will be 18 years of age plus with known large vessel occlusion who have been transferred to the emergency department. Recordings can be made just prior to the thrombectomy or within 2 hours of computed tomography angiography and no thrombectomy performed.

Participants will be excluded if they have an open wound on the scalp or are prisoners.

The MindRhythm Harmony headset will be placed on the subject (a total of 50 subjects) along with ECG leads and a 3 minute recording of the HeadPulse (cranial waveform) will be performed while the subject remains as still as possible. The data will then be transferred to MindRhythm for analysis and ultimate improvement of the diagnostic stroke algorithm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke, Ischemic, run by MindRhythm, Inc. at 2 sites in United States.

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 1 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 27 Jul 2023. 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 United States. 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?

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?

HeadPulse Waveform Data (time frame: 90 seconds). 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 Jul 2023.
