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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study tests whether a balloon angioplasty procedure can prevent early neurological decline in people who have had a minor stroke due to a narrowed brain artery. The trial will enroll 100 adults who have already received standard medication but still show fluctuating or worsening symptoms. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either balloon angioplasty plus medical therapy or medical therapy alone, and researchers will track how many experience a significant worsening of their condition.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Balloon angioplasty procedure
What this could lead to
If successful, this procedure could offer a way to prevent early neurological worsening in minor stroke patients with narrowed brain arteries.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 100 participants. The procedure carries risks like vessel damage or re-narrowing, and it may not prove better than standard medical therapy alone.

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 100 people

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

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Over 18 years of age; 2. Minor ischemic stroke within 1 week of onset (NIHSS≤5); 3. Have received the best drug treatment (dual antibody, anti-plate combined with anticoagulation), but symptoms still have measurable fluctuations or progression (NIHSS increased by at least 1 point); 4. Symptoms fluctuate to the time of receiving balloon dilation within 24 hours; 5. The etiology was considered to be severe stenosis of the responsible vessels due to intracranial arteriosclerosis (70-99% stenosis), or perforator artery disease with severe stenosis of the carrier artery (confirmed by MRA, CTA or DSA); 6. Patients with first onset or past onset without sequelae such as limb paralysis should not affect the score of this NIHSS, and mRS Score of patients with past onset should be less than 2 points; 7. Patients or family members sign informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who have developed large intracranial vessel occlusion; 2. Intracranial hemorrhagic diseases in the past 3 months: cerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, etc.; 3. Non-atherosclerotic disease-related stenosis: arterial dissection, moya-moya disease, arterioinflammatory disease, etc. 4. Clotting disorders or systemic bleeding tendency or platelets less than 100,000; 5. Complicated with serious infection or liver, kidney and other serious diseases; 6. Patients with severe inability to control hypertension (systolic blood pressure \>200mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \>110mmHg); 7. Women who are pregnant, have a pregnancy plan or are breastfeeding; 8. Complicated with other serious diseases, life expectancy \< 6 months; Other conditions deemed inappropriate for participation in this study.
