Integrated Biomedical Informatics for Managing Cerebral Aneurysms
Official title: @neurIST : Informatique biomédicale intégrée Pour la Gestion Des anévrismes cérébraux
Run by University Hospital, Geneva · NCT05526352 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to build a detailed database about brain aneurysms to see what factors might increase the risk of them forming or bursting, and it's for patients with aneurysms, healthy volunteers, and their family members.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include individuals with angiographically proven intracranial aneurysms and their family members, as well as healthy volunteers.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are unable to provide informed consent or those who do not have an intracranial aneurysm will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This project aims to create a comprehensive database specifically for intracranial aneurysms by collecting clinical histories, imaging data, and biological samples. It will evaluate risk markers for aneurysm formation and rupture, as well as prognostic factors for various management strategies. Participants include patients with diagnosed aneurysms, healthy volunteers, and family members of affected individuals. The data collected will help inform patient-specific management protocols and improve understanding of the condition.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this project could lead to improved risk assessment and personalized treatment strategies for patients with intracranial aneurysms.
How similar studies have gone: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific integration of data for intracranial aneurysms is relatively novel and untested.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * able to provide consent or, in the event that a patient is incapable of providing consent, that a person is legally authorized to do so on behalf of the patient according to legal and ethical requirements of the country where the clinical centre is located. Patients: * must have an angiographically proven intracranial aneurysm (MRA\< CTA\< DSA accepted).The determination of SAH requires the presence of a subarachnoid haemorrhage be verified on CT or by lumbar puncture. MRA: Magnetic Resonance Angiography CTA: Computed Tomography Angiography DSA: Digital Subtracted Angiography Exclusion Criteria: * failure of a candidate to contribute clinical data, * refusal to provide informed consent.
