Follow-up Extension Study of Regular Physical Exercise in Patients With Symptomatic Intracranial Arterial Stenosis

Overview

This study will include the subjects with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (ICAS) who have participated in and completed the 1-year follow-up of RESIST trial (NCT06615726). The aim is to observe the long-term clinical outcomes over 3 years after a 1-year regular physical exercise intervention in patients with symptomatic ICAS.

This is a non-interventional, observational study designed to investigate long-term clinical outcomes in symptomatic ICAS patients who have already enrolled in RESIST trial and completed the 1-year follow-up. After completing 12-month randomized intervention from RESISR trial, investigators continue to follow the subjects up to 3 years without any further intervention or changes to routine clinical management. The primary endpoint is the incidence of new ischemic stroke within 3 years. Secondary endpoints include new ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack events in the responsible vessel supply area within 3 years; new ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack events within 3 years; hemorrhagic stroke event within 3 years; myocardial infarction within 3 years; falls within 3 years; all-cause death within 3 years; the proportion of patients with modified Rankin Scale score 0-1 at 3 years; the score of mini-Montreal Cognitive Assessment at 3 years; and the score of EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level at 3 years. Approximately 1,300 subjects who have completed the RESIST trial's 1-year follow-up and consented to continue will be included. The overall study duration will extend from the first participant's entry into the observation period until the last participant completes the 3-year follow-up.
