Brief summary

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.

Detailed description

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.

Interventions

Proportion of patients achieving modified Rankin Scale score (mRS) 0-1At 3 years after randomizationThe modified Rankin scale (range, 0 \[no symptoms\] to 6 \[death\], with higher scores indicating greater disability)

Quality of life assessed by EuroQol 5 Dimensions 5 level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L)At 3 years after randomizationThe EQ-5D-5L includes 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: 1= n
