Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who have confirmed acute ischemic stroke and are within 24 hours of symptom onset, eligible for endovascular therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a history of hemorrhagic infarction, chronic kidney or liver diseases, or active malignant diseases may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the expression patterns of circular RNA (circRNA), long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), and micro-RNA (miRNA) in patients with acute ischemic stroke who are treated with endovascular therapy. Using next-generation sequencing, the study aims to identify potential biomarkers and regulators that could indicate the progression and prognosis of the condition. Additionally, it will evaluate the impact of endovascular treatment on immune responses in these patients. The findings may lead to the development of predictive models for patient outcomes based on the identified non-coding RNAs.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide new biomarkers for assessing the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke and improve treatment strategies.

How similar studies have gone: While the role of non-coding RNAs in stroke is an emerging field, similar studies have shown promise in identifying biomarkers for various conditions, indicating potential for success in this approach.
