What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Researchers are studying blood samples from people who have had a stroke to understand how blood clotting and inflammation affect recovery. They will take samples at several time points during the first week and measure markers of coagulation and inflammation. The goal is to see if these markers can predict who will have a good or poor outcome three months later. This study does not test a new treatment, but it may reveal clues for future therapies.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
blood sampling for coagulation and inflammation profiling
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify blood markers that help predict recovery after stroke and guide future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it won't test a new treatment. The markers may not reliably predict outcomes in all patients.

Who can take part

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

Who is studied

The study population will consist of patients presenting at the hospital with ischaemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke or aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. As our hospital is a referral centre, both referred patients and patients presenting at our emergency department will be screened for eligibility.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Presenting at the hospital with ischaemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke, aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage or any other type of non-traumatic, intracranial bleeding In patients with minor ischemic stroke (NIHSS \<= 4) only baseline lab sampling will be performed (T0 and T0B). Exclusion Criteria: * Refusal of participation by patient or legal representative * Traumatic intracranial (subdural, subarachnoid, epidural haematoma) bleeding * Patients receiving treatment with interference on coagulation (pro / anti) before first sampling: in this group of patients the coagulation assessment at presentation will be excluded, further lab sampling is performed according to protocol. * Patients categorized as having stroke mimic will be excluded from analysis afterwards
