Neuronal and Glial Biomarkers in Stroke

NCT02409043 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 99

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine if there are molecules in the blood that indicate when a person has had a stroke, and what type of stroke they have had, so that appropriate treatment may be begun as soon as possible. This study is also being conducted to determine whether these molecules can help to predict long-term health following stroke. Some of these potential molecules, also called biomarkers, include Neuronal biomarker ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1), Glial markers such as glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and a neuroprotective enzyme called angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which has activity that has been shown to be helpful cardiovascular disease and shown to be altered in animal models of acute stroke, where it is also shown to provide neuronal protection.
