Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Study Population

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female or male in-patient
  • Age 18 - 80 years
  • Clinical diagnosis of ischemic stroke causing a measurable neurological deficit defined as impairment of language, motor function, cognition, gaze, vision and/or neglect. Ischemic stroke is defined as an event characterized by sudden onset of acute focal neurological deficit, presumed to be caused by cerebral ischemia, after CT scan exclusion of hemorrhage
  • Onset of symptoms within 3 hours prior to initiation of thrombolysis treatment
  • Stroke symptoms present for at least 30 minutes that had not significantly improved before treatment. Symptoms must be distinguishable from an episode of generalized ischemia (i.e. syncope), seizure, or migraine disorder
  • Patients are willing to receive thrombolysis treatment and to give informed consent with regard to retrieval of data and follow up procedures, according to the regulations in participating countries
  • Willingness and ability to comply with the study protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Evidence of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) on the CT-scan
  • Symptoms of ischemic attack began more than 3 hours prior to infusion start or when time of symptom onset is unknown
  • Minor neurological deficit or symptoms rapidly improving before start of infusion
  • Severe stroke as assessed clinically and/or by appropriate imaging techniques
  • Seizure at onset of stroke
  • Symptoms suggestive of subarachnoid hemorrhage, even if the CT-scan is normal
  • Administration of heparin within the previous 48 hours and a thromboplastin time exceeding the upper limit of normal for laboratory
  • Patients with any history of prior stroke and concomitant diabetes
  • Prior stroke within the last 3 months
  • Platelet count of below 100,000/mm³
  • Systolic blood pressure >185 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >110 mmHg, or aggressive management (IV medication) necessary to reduce BP to these limits
  • Blood glucose <50 or > 400 mg/dl
  • Known hemorrhagic diathesis
  • Patients receiving oral anticoagulants, e.g. warfarin sodium
  • Manifest or recent severe or dangerous bleeding
  • Known history of or suspected intracranial hemorrhage
  • Suspected subarachnoid hemorrhage or condition after subarachnoid hemorrhage from aneurysm
  • Any history of central nervous system damage (i.e. neoplasm, aneurysm, intracranial or spinal surgery)
  • Hemorrhagic retinopathy, e.g. in diabetes (vision disturbances may indicate hemorrhagic retinopathy)
  • Recent (less than 10 days) traumatic external heart massage, obstetrical delivery, recent puncture of a non-compressible blood-vessel (e.g. subclavian or jugular vein puncture
  • Bacterial endocarditis, pericarditis
  • Acute pancreatitis
  • Documented ulcerative gastrointestinal disease during the last 3 months, oesophageal varices, arterial- aneurysm, arterial/venous malformation
  • Neoplasm with increased bleeding risk
  • Severe liver disease, including hepatic failure, cirrhosis, portal hypertension oesophageal varices) and active hepatitis
  • Major surgery or significant trauma in past 3 months

All in- and exclusion criteria follow the summary of product characteristics of Actilyse®

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Mortality rate
Time Frame: 3 months
3 months
Occurrence of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH)
Time Frame: up to 36 hours
up to 36 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
December 1, 2002

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
