Analyzing non-coding RNA in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing endovascular treatment
Official title: Clinical Significance of Circulating Non-coding RNA in Acute Ischemic Stroke With Endovascular Treatment (EVTRNA)
Run by Nanjing First Hospital, Nanjing Medical University · NCT04230785 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see if certain types of RNA in patients with acute ischemic stroke can help predict how well they will do after receiving endovascular treatment.

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.
