NCT ID NCT01619709

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looked at 70 people who had a brain hemorrhage (bleeding stroke) to see if a special PET scan could tell whether the bleeding was caused by amyloid buildup in blood vessels or by high blood pressure. Participants received an injection of a radioactive tracer called Florbetapir, followed by a brain scan. The goal was to improve diagnosis of the underlying cause, which could guide future treatment decisions.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Florbetapir F 18 (PET imaging tracer)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better distinguish between different causes of brain hemorrhage, leading to more targeted treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. The imaging method may not prove useful in routine practice or change patient outcomes.

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

Finished

Jun 2017

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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