A Comparison of Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Strokes Among Blacks and Whites
NCT00642213 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Our primary goal is to study temporal trends in the incidence rate, causes, treatment, and outcome of stroke among a large biracial metropolitan population of 1,349,351, of whom 215,611 (15%) are black (2000 Census). Such data are critical for the planning, intervention, and evaluation of public health efforts to decrease the mortality and morbidity due to stroke in the United States. We have completed this goal for 1993-94, 1999, 2005, 2010 and 2015. We are in the process of collecting this data for 2020. In the 2020 study period we will also be ascertaining 3 year recurrence rates for all incident stroke events.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00642213
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00642213 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 1,500 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Cincinnati, which has 179 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Ischemic Stroke appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00642213 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
