Active clinical trials for "Intracranial Thrombosis"

This international multi-center registry is used to collect existing information and outcomes for patients undergoing an operation for treatment of injuries to the brain including the blockage of blood flow to an area of the brain, an abnormal ballooning of an artery, abnormal tangling of blood vessels, abnormal formation of blood vessels, tearing of vein, and bleeding in the brain. This information is used to help predict outcomes that undergo an operation for treatment of the above-listed brain injuries. Additionally, the information is used to compare techniques and devices' effects on technical and clinical outcomes.

In the present study, the investigators use high-resolution MR vessel wall imaging, and select patients with cerebral and cervical artery occlusion to investigate the relationship between the imaging appearance of thrombus and the various outcome of recanalization treatment.

The MATISSE (Molecular Analysis of Thrombus for Ischemic Stroke prognosis and Etiology) project evaluates the hypothesis that the molecular composition of cerebral thrombus in metabolites, lipids, and proteins conditions the clinical prognosis at 3 months of the infarction and informs on its etiological subtype

A prospective, multicenter, single-arm objective performance criteria trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of SINOMED ADPAT for Recanalization Therapy in acute large-vessel occlusive stroke.

Background: Endovascular thrombolysis, with or without mechanical clot removal (ET), may be beneficial for a subgroup of patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVT), who have a poor prognosis despite treatment with heparin. Published experience with ET is promising, but only based on case series and not on controlled trials. Objective: The main objective of the TO-ACT trial is to determine if ET improves the functional outcome of patients with a severe form of CVT Study design: The TO-ACT trial will be designed as a multi-centre, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) trial. Study population: Patients are eligible if they have a radiologically proven CVT, a high probability of poor outcome (defined by presence of one or more of the following risk factors: mental status disorder, coma, intracranial hemorrhagic lesion or thrombosis of the deep cerebral venous system) and the responsible physician is uncertain if ET or standard anti-coagulant treatment is better. Intervention: Patients will be randomized to receive either ET or standard therapy (therapeutic doses of heparin). ET consists of local application of alteplase or urokinase within the thrombosed sinuses, and/or mechanical thrombectomy. Glasgow coma score, NIH stroke scale and relevant laboratory parameters will be assessed at baseline. Endpoints: The primary endpoint is the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 12 months. The most important secondary outcomes are the mRS, mortality and recanalization rate at 6 months. Major intra- and extracranial hemorrhagic complications within one week following the intervention are the principal safety outcome. Results will be analyzed according to the "intention-to-treat" principle. Assessment of study endpoints will be carried out according to standardized questionnaires by a blinded neurologist or research nurse who is not involved in the treatment of the patient. Study size: To detect a 50% relative reduction in mRS≥2 (from 40 to 20%), 164 patients (82 in each treatment arm) have to be included (two-sided alpha, 80% power). Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Included patients may benefit directly from ET. Complications of ET, most notably intracranial hemorrhages, constitute the most important risk of the study.

The proposed trial is a pragmatic, registry linked, prospective, randomized (1:1) controlled, open-label parallel group clinical trial with blinded endpoint assessment of 1600 patients to test if intravenous tenecteplase (0.25 mg/kg body weight, max dose 25 mg) is non-inferior to intravenous alteplase (0.9 mg/kg body weight) in patients with acute ischemic stroke otherwise eligible for intravenous thrombolysis as per standard care. All patients will have standard of care medical management on an acute stroke unit. There are no additional trial specific management recommendations. Patients will be followed for approximately 90-120 days.

In the VECTOR trial, the aim is to analyze, in case of SVS+ occlusions, a first line Embotrap II added to CA combined strategy compare to CA alone strategy. Many practitioners are convinced that a first line strategy with CA alone is easy, safe, rapid and efficient. Maybe, after two, three, four ... passes and with the secondary help of a combined strategy, a high rate of eTICI 2b/3 could be reached with a CA first line strategy. But this could go with a higher number of passes, a waste of time and a suboptimal angiographic results (eTICI 2b) due to distal emboli, especially in case of friable, non-well organized, red blood cell rich (RBC) i.e. SVS + thrombi (25-28). This could, be related to worst clinical outcome at 3 months. VECTOR asks a relevant question: Do the invetigators have to add the use of an Embotrap II or III to the CA, from the first passes, in case of SVS+ clots?

This study is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, end-point blinded, randomized, parallel positive control, non-inferiority clinical trial, with a purpose to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Hemo Jirui intracranial thrombus aspiration catheter system for endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke by comparison with stent retriever (Solitaire FR). The trial is anticipated to last from November 2018 to May 2019, with 204 subjects recruited from 15-20 clinical trial centers in China.

Our overall aim is to examine if ultrasound is as accurate as MRI and/or CT in the evaluation of dural venous sinuses. We hypothesize that sonography will be accurate (accuracy >80%) for diagnosing specific anatomic findings of dural venous sinuses.
