What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether a community education and training campaign can reduce the time it takes for stroke patients to get to the hospital. Over 1.6 million people in 16 communities across China will be involved. The goal is to increase the number of patients arriving within the critical 4.5-hour window for treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
STROKE 120 multifaceted intervention campaign (training medical workers, emergency staff, and public education)
What this could lead to
If successful, this campaign could significantly reduce the time it takes for stroke patients to reach the hospital, potentially improving survival and reducing disability.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, not a drug, so results depend on community engagement. The trial is large but still early, and success in China may not directly apply elsewhere.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 1,696,000 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

This trial will evaluate whether the STROKE 120 multifaceted intervention campaign can reduce the pre-hospital delay in AIS and increase the 4.5-hour arrival rate in 16 community units across 8 regions in China. We will select 2 community units from each region as the study sites and randomly divide the 2 community units within each region into the intervention group and the control group. The selection criteria for community units are listed as follows: 1. The 2 participating community units in each region should each have a permanent population over 110,000 (people aged 60 years and above accounting for at least 15%), have similar demographic characteristics (e.g., age, gender, and education level), and have comparable local health policies (e.g., medical insurance policies, emergency system framework, stroke emergency map release, and stroke center quality control), economic levels, and public ability to recognize AIS. 2. The participating hospitals in each community unit serve \>90% of AIS patients within the community unit, have a well-established stroke center, and have comparable standardized treatment capabilities for AIS (including 4.5-hour hospital arrival rate of AIS, rate of using 120 emergency ambulances after AIS, and rate of IVT after AIS). 3. The participating communities are capable of implementing STROKE 120 multifaceted intervention campaign within its community unit. 4. To avoid cross-contamination, the physical distance between any two community units exceeds 20 kilometers.
