The Neuroprotective Effect of Remote Ischemic Conditioning in Ruptured Aneurysm Coiling Therapy

A Phase 2/3 interventional study of remote ischemic conditioning and sham remote ischemic conditioning in Aneurysm, Ruptured and Coiling Therapy, sponsored by Capital Medical University. Status unknown at 5 sites in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-11-23.

Study summary

The overall incidence of DWI positive for thromboembolic events following endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms is proximately 50%. Whether remote ischemic conditioning was safe and effective to reduce ischemic brain lesions on DWI after endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms is still unclear. The investigators' hypothesis is that remote ischemic conditioning is a safe and effective strategy to reduce new ischemic lesions in intracranial aneurysms patients undergoing endovascular treatment.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 18 years or older
  • Ruptured brain aneurysm deemed suitable for neuroendovascular repair
  • Normal baseline brain MRI
  • Female subjects of have a negative pregnancy test.
  • Signed prior to entering study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Dissecting or mycotic brain aneurysm.
  • Planned endovascular vessel sacrifice as the primary modality for aneurysm treatment
  • Renal insufficiency with creatinine ≥ 265 umol/L
  • Severe, sustained hypertension (SBP > 185 mmHg or DBP > 110 mmHg)
  • for remote ischemic conditioning: severe soft tissue injury, fracture, or peripheral vascular disease in the upper limbs
  • Pre-morbid modified Rankin scale score of greater than 1
  • Patients with a pre-existing neurological or psychiatric disease that would confound the neurological or functional evaluations Patients who are unable to have an MRI scan for any reason.
  • Currently participating or previously participated in any drug or device study within 6 months.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Interventions

  • Deviceremote ischemic conditioning

    Remote ischemic conditioning is performed by using an electric autocontrol device with cuffs that inflated to a pressure of 200 mm Hg during the ischemic period (Patent No. CN200820123637.X, China)

  • Devicesham remote ischemic conditioning

    Sham remote ischemic conditioning is performed by using an electric autocontrol device with cuffs that inflated to a pressure of 60 mm Hg

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The presence of ≥1 new brain lesions on DWI

    Assessed by DWI

    Time frame: within 72 hours after endovascular treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of new ischemic lesions

    Time frame: within 72 hours after endovascular treatment

  2. Volume of new ischemic lesions

    Time frame: within 72 hours after endovascular treatment

  3. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale

    Scores on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating more severe neurologic deficits.

    Time frame: 7 days or discharge

  4. Composite of Cerebrovascular events

    This is a composited endpoint.Cerebrovascular events included ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, and TIA. The present subarachnoid hemorrhage isn't included.

    Time frame: 30 days

  5. Nondisabling events

    Scores on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating more severe neurologic deficits.National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale ≤3 or TIA is defined as nondisabling events The present subarachnoid hemorrhage isn't included.

    Time frame: 30 days

  6. Modified Rankin Scale

    Scores on the modified Rankin scale of functional disability range from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death).

    Time frame: 30 days

Other outcomes

  1. Occurrence of adverse events and serious adverse events

    Occurrence of adverse events and serious adverse events

    Time frame: 30 days

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 23, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
