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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population consists of patients diagnosed with or treated for heart and brain vascular diseases (cardiovascular diseases and stroke) at Samsung Medical Center, a tertiary academic hospital in Seoul, Korea. This cohort includes: Retrospective Group: Patients with clinical records within the hospital's historical database to analyze past clinical courses and long-term outcomes. Prospective Group: Patients newly visiting or currently under follow-up care at the heart, stroke, and vascular centers who consent to long-term monitoring. The population covers a wide clinical spectrum, from acute emergency cases (e.g., myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke) to chronic management.

Who may be able to join

  • A patient who visited Samsung Medical Center due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.

Who cannot join

  • A patient deemed unable to participate in the study based on the judgment of the medical staff.

About this study

Official title: PRIME (Precision Registry for Integrated Cardio-cerebrovascular Medicine & Evidence)

This study aims to establish a comprehensive, long-term clinical registry infrastructure for heart and brain vascular diseases (cardiovascular diseases and stroke) at Samsung Medical Center. In South Korea, these diseases are a leading cause of death, with a rapidly increasing burden due to an aging population and changing lifestyles. Despite this, there is a lack of large-scale, systematic data specifically focused on the long-term clinical course and unique characteristics of Korean patients.

The central hypothesis of this study is that the establishment of a standardized registry infrastructure-integrating both retrospective (historical) and prospective (future) data collection-will provide a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of the natural history and risk factors of heart and brain vascular diseases in the Korean population than currently available fragmented data. By combining existing medical records with ongoing patient follow-up, this infrastructure will serve as a critical scientific platform for developing personalized prevention and precision medicine strategies.

By building this organized data collection system, the study will:

Construct a robust infrastructure to collect uniform, high-quality clinical data, encompassing both past medical history (retrospective) and future clinical progress (prospective) from a large population of Korean patients.

Monitor long-term health outcomes and the progression of diseases by tracking patients over many years.

Analyze the interaction between various risk factors and patient outcomes to identify population-specific patterns.

Create a scalable platform that can integrate advanced technologies, such as multi-omics and digital health tools, for future research.

Ultimately, this integrated registry infrastructure is expected to provide the essential scientific evidence needed to optimize clinical guidelines and improve the long-term quality of life for patients with heart and brain vascular diseases in Korea.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Standard Medical TherapyDrug

    Routine pharmacological treatments including antiplatelets, antihypertensives

  • Revascularization ProceduresProcedure or surgery

    Surgical or interventional procedures such as PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) or stent thrombectomy for stroke.

  • Lifestyle ModificationBehavioural

    Habitual factors including smoking cessation, physical activity, and dietary habits monitored during the follow-up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Major Adverse Cardio-Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE)

    Measured: Up to 20 years (from the date of enrollment until the end of the follow-up period)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) and Cerebro Vascular Disease, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2026. 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 South Korea. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Major Adverse Cardio-Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE) (time frame: Up to 20 years (from the date of enrollment until the end of the follow-up period)). 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 28 Apr 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
