Trial summary

Cerebral small-vessel disease (CSVD) is a significant contributor to stroke and dementia, primarily impacting individuals over the age of 60. Its prevalence exceeds 70% in the elderly population, imposing a substantial burden on brain health and the economy. Read more about this study

About this study

Cerebral small-vessel disease (CSVD) is a significant contributor to stroke and dementia, primarily impacting individuals over the age of 60. Its prevalence exceeds 70% in the elderly population, imposing a substantial burden on brain health and the economy. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a new type of optical diagnostic imaging technology for non-invasive detection, which can perform multi-dimensional quantitative assessment of fundus retinopathy. Current studies have shown that fundus OCTA-derived parameters may have potential in characterizing imaging changes in CSVD. However, the correlation between retinal/choroidal parameters on OCTA and the CSVD imaging markers remains uncertain. FRESH-CSVD is a prospective, observational study that will use fundus OCTA-derived parameters to screen patients with CSVD, explore the relationship between relevant parameters based on OCTA measurements and CSVD, and evaluate the feasibility and clinical value of identification of CSVD through fundus OCTA.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of fundus OCTA-derived parameters for CSVD

    Investigators intend to use these indicators to assess the diagnostic accuracy of fundus OCTA for CSVD: area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC)

    Measured: baseline ,6-month, and every 1 year, follow-up time up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The development of total CSVD burden in MRI

    Total brain small-vessel disease burden is used to assess the overall impact of CSVD, with a score range of 0-4 points

    Measured: baseline ,6-month, and every 1 year, follow-up time up to 5 years

  2. Number of Patients with cerebrovascular events, cardiovascular events, dementia or death

    Cerebrovascular events included ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) and cerebral hemorrhage. Cardiovascular events included angina and myocardial infarction.

    Using the Chinese version of the MMSE scale, dementia is defined based on different levels of education (≤ 22, ≤ 23, ≤ 24, ≤ 26 points for illiteracy, primary school, junior high school, and university).

    Death included any reason caused death.

    Measured: baseline ,6-month, and every 1 year, follow-up time up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cerebral Small Vessel Diseases and Retinal Ischemia, run by Zhejiang Provincial 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 9 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2024. 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?

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?

Contact Sheng Zhang (+8618758188313, zhangsheng@hmc.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic accuracy of fundus OCTA-derived parameters for CSVD (time frame: baseline ,6-month, and every 1 year, follow-up time up to 5 years). 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 29 May 2024.
