Brain Cancer Trial, Recruiting
Who may be able to join
AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- People who are already scheduled to have a brain blood vessel procedure, such as a diagnostic brain artery scan, a procedure to block blood supply to a brain tumour called a meningioma, or a procedure to remove a blood clot causing a stroke — selected using the same standard criteria used for these types of procedures
Who may not be able to join:
General reasons:
- People who have had surgery in the past 4 weeks, or who have not yet fully recovered from a recent surgery
- People who are pregnant or currently breastfeeding
- People who have, or are expected to have, blood vessel spasms, active bleeding, or severe hardening and narrowing of the arteries
- People who have had an allergic reaction to the dye used in artery imaging procedures
- People with kidney failure
- People who have had a heart attack or a condition affecting a major vein near the heart (called SVC syndrome) within the past 3 months, or who currently have heart disease
- People who are unable to communicate their wishes well enough for the procedure to be carried out safely
- People with serious or life-threatening health conditions that could significantly affect outcomes or make the procedure unlikely to help
- People with non-life-threatening health conditions that would make proper follow-up after treatment difficult
Additional reasons specific to people having a stroke procedure:
- People whose brain scan results show a very large area of brain already affected by stroke (confirm with trial site for exact scoring details)
- Cases where the artery access procedure cannot be started within 60 minutes of completing the required imaging scans
- People who do not have a detectable pulse in the groin area, which is needed for the procedure
- Cases where accessing the blood vessels is expected to take so long that the total time from imaging to restoring blood flow would exceed 90 minutes
- People where the stroke is thought to be caused by a torn artery wall or by long-term narrowing of the arteries due to a build-up of fatty deposits
- People where the blocked brain artery is believed to have been blocked for a long time, based on medical history, previous scans, or clinical assessment
