Examining the link between cotinine levels and aneurysm wall enhancement using MRI
Official title: A Prospective Cohort Study on the Correlation Between Patient Cotinine Levels and Intracranial Unruptured Aneurysm Wall Enhancement Based on High-resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Run by Zhujiang Hospital · NCT06447714 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at whether levels of cotinine in the body are connected to changes in the walls of unruptured brain aneurysms as seen on MRI, to help understand the risk of these aneurysms getting worse.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18-75 with diagnosed unruptured intracranial aneurysms suitable for endovascular intervention.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with arteriovenous malformations, Moyamoya disease, or those unable to undergo high-resolution MRI will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study collects clinical, laboratory, and imaging data from patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms to investigate the correlation between cotinine levels and aneurysm wall enhancement observed through high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI). Participants will undergo HRMRI to assess the degree of enhancement of their aneurysm walls, while also providing blood or urine samples for cotinine testing. The study aims to understand how these factors relate to the risk of aneurysm rupture and the overall prognosis of patients with intracranial aneurysms.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into the risk factors for aneurysm rupture, potentially leading to improved patient management and treatment strategies.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have indicated a relationship between aneurysm wall enhancement and rupture risk, suggesting that this approach may yield valuable insights.
