Each year, 7.8 million people worldwide experience an ischemic stroke, often caused by atrial fibrillation (AF). AF is a major contributor to severe, disabling, and deadly strokes. About 20% to 30% of ischemic stroke patients have AF before their stroke. Of the remaining 70% to 80% without known arrhythmias, up to 24% are newly diagnosed with AF after intensive cardiac monitoring, totaling 1.3 to 1.5 million new AF cases detected after stroke globally each year. Oral anticoagulants (OACs) can reduce stroke risk related to AF by 64% and lead to milder strokes with lower disability and mortality. Neurologists use cardiac monitoring to detect AF in stroke patients. This study focuses on patients who have had an ischemic stroke and are newly diagnosed with AF. The goal is to understand how AF progresses over time. The investigators will track changes in AF severity and frequency, monitor biomarkers related to heart health, assess the size and function of the left atrium, and observe new risk factors like hypertension. Patients will be grouped based on their AF diagnosis method: ECG, a portable device recording heart activity for less than 7 days, or one recording for 7 to 30 days. The investigators hypothesize that AF burden will increase, new risk factors will emerge, biomarkers will rise, and the left atrium will worsen over time. Participants will be followed for up to 24 months with regular assessments. The study aims to provide insights into AF progression in stroke patients, potentially improving treatments and prevention strategies.

Trial Details

Trial Status:Not Yet Recruiting
Trial Phase:Unphased

24 Participants Needed

To prospectively investigate the efficacy of an insertable cardiac monitor-guided atrial fibrillation (AF) management in reducing subsequent AF burden in patients with persistent or paroxysmal AF undergoing atrial catheter ablation (CA).

Trial Details

Trial Status:Recruiting
Trial Phase:Unphased

120 Participants Needed

The primary objective of this investigation is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of implantable loop recorder implantation (using the LUX-DX™) in newborns undergoing stage 1 palliation. The secondary objective of the investigation is to evaluate the feasibility of continuous measurement of heart rate and arrhythmia using an implantable loop recorder (LUX-Dx™) during the interstage period. An implantable loop recorder will be placed at the time of chest closure following stage 1 palliation (either at the time of index surgery or delayed). The device will be placed in a subclavicular pouch through the existing sternotomy incision. Participants will be in the study for 6 months to 3 years.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Why We Started Power

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
