The Correlation Between CITED2 and Collateral Circulation in Acute Ischemic Stroke
China130 participantsStarted 2020-11-01
Plain-language summary
Evaluating the collateral circulation of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) mainly depends on the imaging examination. At present, there is no effective and sensitive biomarker for collateral circulation. Thus, the research objective was to evaluate the predicting role of the CBP/P300-interacting transactivator with Glu/Asp-rich C-terminal domain 2 Ratio (CITED2) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the collateral circulation of AIS. We classified the AIS patients into two groups (the good collateral group and the poor collateral group) by DWI-ASPECTS score. The western blot was applied to test the protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and CITED2. Then, we collected other clinical data. Binary logistic regression analysis between collateral circulation and clinical data was performed. Finally, Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to explore the predictive value of the CITED2.

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.
