About this trial

Direct-to-angio approach from loCal hOspitals based on a PoInt-of-care bLOod Test for LVO (COPILOT) is a multi-center, prospective, cluster-randomized crossover trial that will evaluate if the triage assessment to thrombectomy puncture time is shorter after performing the LVOne testing compared to current management standards in patients with suspected large vessel occlusion.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age: 21 to 85 years old

Language: Speak and understand Spanish or English

Residence: Resident of Puerto Rico

Clinical presentation: Suspected acute stroke

Disqualifiers

Already assessed at another hospital, and ambulance admission is a transfer for continuing care OR

Received thrombolysis therapy before consent (e.g., tPA, alteplase)

Medical History: diagnosed with any of the following in the past 4 weeks: deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), arterial embolism, stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), long bone fracture, major trauma, surgery under general anesthesia, or head injury requiring hospital admission within the last 4 weeks.

Trial design

Design model

Crossover

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Diagnostic standard of care

    Diagnostic test

    Participants will receive the diagnostic standard of care: standard laboratory workup, non-contrast brain CT, brain CTA, brain CTP, or brain MRI.

  • LVOne Test

    Diagnostic test

    Participants will receive the LVOne test, which will measure D-dimer and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) levels to diagnose acute stroke.

Treatment groups

520 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Standard of CareActive comparator 1 intervention
Group B: LVOne TestExperimental treatment 2 interventions
