About this trial
CRAST is to analyze the expression pattern of circular RNA (circRNA) by bioinformatics analysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke and healthy control. The candidate circRNA will be verified as biomarkers for the detection and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Aged 18 years or older
Confirmed acute ischemic stroke by a diffusion-weighted imaging-position lesion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and a new lesion on a brain computed tomography (CT) scan
Within 72 hours of symptom onset
Good performance status
Disqualifiers
a history of hemorrhagic infarction, chronic kidney/liver diseases, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, active malignant disease, and inflammatory or infectious diseases
Trial population
There will be 100 patients suspected of AIS (such as transient ischemic attack), 300 AIS patients and 100 Healthy controls,whose data will be applied for construction and validation of diagnostic and predictive models of circRNA from the circulating blood.
Trial design
Case-control
Prospective
Treatments tested in this trial

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Differential expression pattern of circRNA
Differential expression pattern of circular RNA (circRNA) will be compared between AIS group and HC group, thus candidate circRNA will be verified as biomarkers for the detection and prognosis of AIS.
Secondary outcomes
Dynamic changes of circRNA during the follow-up period
Dynamic changes of circRNA will be explored before and after endovascular therapy
Correlation of circRNA and stroke-associated infection
Correlation of circRNA and stroke-associated infection will be explored in acute ischemic stroke.
Correlation of circRNA and inflammatory factors in acute ischemic stroke
Correlation of circRNA and inflammatory factors on admission will be explored in acute ischemic stroke.
Prognostic value of circRNA in acute ischemic stroke
The prognosis of AIS patients will be analyzed between differential expressed candidate circRNA after they have completed the systematic therapy.
