Determining the Impact of Shunting and CerebroVascular Reactivity on 7T MRI (DISCoVeR 7T MRI)

NCT03291340 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to use transcanial doppler (TCD) ultrasound to look for possible risk factors for ischemic brain injury. We will perform contrast TCD with agitated saline contrast to identify and contrast right-to-left shunt (RLS) and breath holding to assess cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) in the elderly.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03291340

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03291340 describes a study currently listed as completed. 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 27 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Pennsylvania, which has 1,457 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Cognitive Impairment 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: NCT03291340 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Pennsylvania. 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.
