Stroke, Acute Clinical Trial

Official title: Prediction Model for the Recanalization Outcome Evaluation of Ischemic Stroke Using Multimodal CT

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Prediction model for the Recanalization OuTcome Evaluation of ischemic stroke using multimodal CT (PROTECT) study was a multicenter prospective observational study that recruited patients from 13 centers located in 10 provinces across China. The study was to assess the effects of novel imaging biomarkers/ imaging patterns based on multimodel CT for patients selection and outcome prediction in acute ischemic stroke.

Clinical Trial Description

Patients Patients with cerebral ischemia symptoms of anterior circulation or posterior circulation onset in 24 hours were included. A neurological evaluation (Modified Rankin Scale and NIHSS); physical examination, including measurement of weight (kg) and vital signs (supine systolic and diastolic blood pressure); time from symptom onset to enrollment were recorded. Imaging protocols: CT scan protocols: Non-contrast computed tomography(NCCT) , computed tomography angiography(CTA), computed tomography perfusion(CTP) Contrast agent: CTA: Omniscan 40-50ml, 5ml/s; saline solution 50ml, 5ml/s CTP: Omniscan 50ml, 5ml/s; saline solution 50ml, 5ml/s Imaging evaluation: CTA was reviewed and stenosis or occlusive lesions were identified. Parameter maps including cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, mean transit time, the time to the maximum of the residue function derived from CTP were processed by the software Rapid to quantitatively assess infarct core volume and mismatch. Multiphase CTA was extracted from CTP to evaluate the collateral circulation. Treatment: Intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator(rtPA), endovascular therapy, and conventional treatment including neuroprotection, anti-platelet, and statin according to the guideline. Follow up: Modified Rankin Scale(mRS) was obtained at 90 days after symptom onset. An imaging follow-up was also recommended within 30 days after symptom onset. ;
