Lleida TIA Intervention Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Having a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or a minor stroke is a real risk factor not only for early recurrent stroke but also for major extracranial vascular events. Despite these warning events provide an opportunity for prevention usual post-discharge care of these subjects (mainly at primary care) is not associated with an optimal control of cerebrovascular risk factors (CRF). The investigators hypothesized that patients exposed to the intensified integrated multifactorial interventional care program (ICP) model would exhibit better management of CRF and receive more targeted advice than patients receiving standard care. A second objective was to investigate the effect of the ICP model on stroke recurrence or the appearance of major extracranial vascular events.

To test this hypothesis the investigators perform a controlled, randomized, single blind, parallel trial. Subjects are recruited at the Stroke Unit and are randomized into two groups: 1. usual care (control group) and 2. ICP (intervention group). Patients assigned to receive usual care (general practitioner with the possibility of being referred to specialists) are compared to those assigned to undergo ICP. This ICP involves strict treatment goals (LDL-cholesterol <100 mg/dl, blood pressure <130/80 mmHg, HbA1c<7%, no smoking, regular exercise and no excessive alcohol consumption) to be achieved through behavior modification (diet, physical activity, smoking cessation, alcohol cessation) and a stepwise introduction of pharmacologic therapy for the main CRF (hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and diabetes). This multifactorial intervention is overseen in each primary care center by a trained general practitioner and nursery. The treatment goals are the same for the control group and the intervention group. General practitioners caring patients of each group are informed of these strict treatment goals. Patients in the ICP group receive a minimum of four scheduled individual consultations in one year (baseline, 3, 6 and 9 months). Primary and secondary outcomes are evaluated by an external Neurologist at 12 months after their inclusion.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
