Amyloid Imaging and Cognitive Impairment After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

France70 participantsStarted 2012-01

Plain-language summary

To evaluate Pet AV-45 Amyloid imaging in the etiological diagnosis of primary non traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy and hypertension related hemorrhage).We hypothesize that patients with lobar hemorrhage (probably related to Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy) will have a greater AV45 cortical binding than patients with deep hemorrhage (probably related to hypertension).

Inclusion Criteria: * Age : 40-90 years, * Non traumatic primary intracerebral hemorrhage during acute phase (less than 30 days from hemorrhage onset) confirmed on brain imaging (CT and/or MRI). * Correct visual, hearing and language functions to perform neuropsychological tests. * Written consent of patient Exclusion Criteria: * Secondary causes of intracerebral hemorrhage : vascular malformations (Arteriovenous malformation, intracranial aneurysm, Cavernous angioma, dural arteriovenous fistula), cerebral venous thrombosis, intracranial neoplasm, coagulopathy, vascularitis, Cocaine or alcohol use, Hemorrhagic ischemic stroke. * Pregnancy * Contraindication to MRI * progressive neoplasm * Cognitive impairment secondary to progressive neurological disease * Depression, * Drug addiction

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

What they're measuring

Pet-AV45 cortical binding

Timeframe: Acute phase of intracerebral hemorrhage ie during the first month after hemorrhage onset.
