As an investigator-initiated and conducted, multi-centre, open-label, single-arm prospective observational trial, INTERACT4 Expansion aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of GFAP measured using a point-of-care device, for identifying ICH in participants presenting with acute stroke-like symptoms in the pre-hospital setting compared with imaging-confirmed ICH.

Proportion of participants without ICH on hospital-based brain CT who are correctly identified as negative based on GFAP point-of-care measurement. (Specificity)
Time frame: From enrolment to initial CT scan up until 7 day assessment
Proportion of participants with ICH on hospital-based brain CT who are correctly identified as positive based on GFAP point-of-care measurement.
Time frame: From enrolment to initial CT scan up until 7 day assessment
Proportion of participants with a positive GFAP point-of-care measurement who are confirmed to have ICH on hospital-based brain CT.
Time frame: From enrolment to initial CT scan up until 7 day assessment
Proportion of participants with a negative GFAP point-of-care measurement who are confirmed to not have an ICH on hospital-based brain CT.
Time frame: From enrolment to initial CT scan up until 7 day assessment
Feasibility of recruitment, assessed by the proportion of enrolled participants over the number of stroke calls in the participating networks during the study period.
Time frame: From enrollment to end of the study.
Feasibility of protocol delivery, assessed by the proportion of participants for whom all required study assessments in the ambulance were completed among those in whom assessments were initiated.
Study assesments include: participant screening, GFAP testing with the point-of-care device, and data entry
Time frame: From enrolment to transfer to hospital at day 1
Feasibility of GFAP testing in the prehospital setting, defined as the proportion of enrolled participants in whom GFAP testing was successfully completed using the point-of-care device in the ambulance.
