NCT ID: NCT06421532 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Stimulating Amyloid Clearance in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Clear-Brain
Start date: June 1, 2024
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

A pre-post study will be conducted to assess whether treatment with LXB, nVNS or a combination of both interventions can enhance the clearance of Aβ in patients with CAA. A total of 60 subjects, 30 with sCAA and 30 with D-CAA, will be randomly assigned to receive LXB, or both interventions. The primary outcome measure will be the morning levels of Aβ40 and Aβ42 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) before and after the intervention. The investigators will assess disease progression with (non-)haemorrhagic imaging markers on 7-Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (7-T MRI) as a secondary outcome. Additionally, the activity of the glymphatic system by means of fluid dynamics will be assessed using 7-T MRI.

High Frequency Imaging in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

HIFI-CAA
Start date: March 19, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), caused by amyloid beta depositions in the walls of small cerebral vessels, is remarkably common in the elderly. Its major clinical consequences include intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) typically in lobar location, functional dependence (disability) and cognitive impairment. Cortical superficial siderosis (cSS) is a common finding in CAA patients and can even be the only magnetic resonance imaging sign of CAA. cSS is of high prognostic relevance regarding future intracerebral haemorrhage and disability. Previous studies suggest that cSS is caused by recurrent focal subarachnoid hemorrhages (fSAH). However, the exact mechanisms and the temporal dynamics of this highly relevant imaging finding are largely unknown. In addition to hemorrhagic manifestations, such as cSS, CAA patients also show ischemic lesions. Of particular interest are acute ischemic lesions as detected by diffusion imaging, which seem to be highly prevalent. Since haemorrhagic and ischemic lesions require fundamentally different therapeutic strategies, understanding the relevance and interplay of both lesion types is highly important for clinical decision making. The HIFI-CAA cohort study aims to provide novel insights into cSS, acute ischemic lesions and other relevant brain alterations in CAA through high-frequency (monthly) serial magnetic resonance imaging.

NCT ID: NCT05773235 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Intracerebral Hemorrhage

MRI-markers to Monitor Small Vessel Disease Dynamics in the Prognosis of Small Vessel Disease-associated, Cerebrovascular Events

MRI-PRO-SVD
Start date: July 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is a nested cohort study in the PRO-SVD cohort. Small vessel disease is a chronic disease and is thought to progress over time. MRI is the gold standard to diagnose small vessel disease, but data on MRI-visible disease progression are scarce. Complications of small vessel disease as well as location pattern, distribution and severity of these MRI small vessel disease markers differ according to the underlying phenotype. The primary aim of this project is to investigate individual small vessel disease burden progression detected by MRI in survivors or intracerebral hemorrhage.

NCT ID: NCT05734378 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Prognosis of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

PRO-SVD
Start date: December 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Prognosis of small vessel disease (SVD) depends on the underlying type of SVD and index manifestation. The aim of this prospective, observational cohort study is to determine the risk of different outcome events among patients with SVD according to the type of index presentation.

NCT ID: NCT05709314 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

A Study of AMDX-2011P in Participants With CAA

Start date: April 2024
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to assess safety, tolerability, plasma pharmacokinetics and biologic activity of a single intravenous dose of AMDX-2011P in participants with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).

NCT ID: NCT05680389 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Antibiotics Against Amyloid Angiopathy

BATMAN
Start date: December 2, 2020
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

We will perform a randomized clinical trial with minocycline. Minocycline is an antibiotic of the tetracycline family and known to modulate inflammation, gelatinase activity and angiogenesis, which we know are central mechanisms in CAA-pathology. Our aim is to prove in a randomized clinical trial in a translational setting that minocycline treatment (duration 3 months) can decrease markers of neuroinflammation and the gelatinase pathway in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of persons with D-CAA (n=30) and sporadic-CAA (n=30).

NCT ID: NCT05565144 Completed - Stroke Clinical Trials

Brain Hemorrhage and Functional Outcome in Stroke Patients With CAA Features on Pre-thrombolysis MRI Treated With Intravenous Thrombolysis (Thrombolysis in CAA) ( Thromb in CAA )

Thromb in CAA
Start date: October 2, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Background: In stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT), presence and high number of strictly lobar cerebral microbleeds (compatible with cerebral amyloid angiopathy, CAA) seems to be associated with increased risk of hemorrhagic transformation, symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation, remote hemorrhage, and poor functional outcome. Some of these reported CAA patients with cerebral microbleeds also had chronic lobar intracerebral haemorrhage. Few data is available on IVT-treated CAA patients showing cortical superficial siderosis. There are no reports studying factors associated with brain hemorrhagic complication or functional outcome inside a group of IVT-treated CAA patients. Our aim was to evaluate brain hemorrhagic complications on 24h-CT and functional outcome after IVT in stroke patients with CAA features on pre-IVT MRI. Methods: In our stroke center, IVT decision in patients with CAA MRI features is left at the discretion of the treating physician. We retrospectively screened pre-IVT imaging of 959 consecutive IVT-treated stroke patients (between January 2015 and July 2022) without ongoing anticoagulation therapy for probable CAA MRI features defined by modified Boston criteria. After exclusion of 119 patients with lacking MRI (n=47), with MRI showing motion artefacts (n=49) or with alternative chronic brain hemorrhage cause on MRI (n=23), 15 IVT-treated patients with probable CAA on pre-IVT MRI were identified. In these 15 patients, clinical, biological and MRI characteristics were compared between patients with vs. without post-IVT hemorrhage and between patients with poor (MRS 3-6) vs. good (MRS 0-2) functional outcome at discharge.

NCT ID: NCT05499169 Recruiting - Cognitive Decline Clinical Trials

Coach Pilot Study: Assessing Cognitive Function and Related Small Vessel Disease Markers After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

COACH
Start date: April 3, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The overall aim of this pilot study is to investigate the development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers after cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)-related and hypertensive arteriopathy (HA)-related intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in relation to cognitive decline. The results from this pilot trial will be used to design a larger cohort study to investigate underlying mechanisms of cognitive decline after ICH. The study population consists of 32 patients; 16 patients with CAA-related ICH and 16 patients with HA-related ICH who are 55 years or older. Data will be collected at four measuring points: at baseline (during hospital admission for the ICH or at the outpatients clinic within one month of presentation with an acute ICH), after three months, after six months and after 12 months. Premorbid cognitive functioning will be assessed with the Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE) to select participants without pre-existing cognitive impairment.

NCT ID: NCT05486897 Completed - Clinical trials for Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Periventricular White Matter Hyperintensities in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy and Hypertensive Arteriopathy

PVWMH
Start date: September 5, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are one of the small vessel disease-related MRI characteristics of both cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and hypertensive arteriopathy (HA). WMH tend to show a peri-basal ganglia pattern in HA, whereas a multiple subcortical spots pattern can be observed in CAA. Periventricular WMH (PVWMH) have been reported to be posterior predominant using a semiautomated segmentation method and logarithmic transformation, not used in daily clinical practice. In these studies including CAA patients, patients initially presented with haemorrhage-related symptoms. In another study analysing PVWMH and cerebral amyloid evidence in patients with mild cognitive impairment, frontal PVWMH burden was associated with high uptake on florbetapir-PET whereas parietal and occipital PVWMH burden was associated with low CSF-amyloid-beta. The aim of this study is the descriptive comparative analysis of the distribution of PVWMH between CAA and HA patients with radiological tools available in daily practice.
