Ischemic Post-conditioning in Acute Ischemic Stroke Thrombectomy

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Acute Ischemic Stroke
Interventions
Procedure: Local ischemic post-conditioning
Registration Number
NCT05153655
Lead Sponsor
Capital Medical University
Brief Summary

Ischemic post-conditioning is a neuroprotective strategy that has been proven to attenuate reperfusion injury in animal models of stroke. The purpose of this proof-of-concept study is to determine the safety and tolerability of ischemic post-conditioning in patients with acute ischemic stroke who are treated with mechanical thrombectomy.

Target Recruitment
18
Inclusion Criteria
  • Age 18-80 years;
  • Acute ischemic stroke caused by middle cerebral artery M1 segment occlusion;
  • Successful recanalization (mTICI 2b/3) after endovascular thrombectomy that confirmed by digital subtraction angiography;
  • Written informed consent provided by the patients or their legal relatives.
Exclusion Criteria
  • Known diagnosis or clinical suspicion of cerebral vasculitis or fibromuscular dysplasia;
  • Difficulty in reaching the designated position of the balloon used for ischemic post-conditioning;
  • Stenting in the middle cerebral artery as rescue therapy during the thrombectomy procedures;
  • > 2 times of balloon dilations as rescue therapy due to angioplasty during the thrombectomy procedures;
  • Moderate or severe residual stenosis (≥ 50%) of the culprit artery after recanalization;
  • Difficulty in complying with ischemic post-conditioning or other conditions that the investigator considered inappropriate for inclusion.

Ischemic post-conditioning groupLocal ischemic post-conditioningThe safety and tolerability of ischemic post-conditioning will be investigated using 3+3 dose-escalation trial design.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with major responseImmediately after intervention on the day of ischemic post-conditioning

Major response is any of the following:

* Vessel perforation or rupture;

* Reocclusion of the culprit vessel after post-conditioning;

* Vessel dissection;

* Severe vasospasm;

* Ischemic post-conditioning related thrombotic events;

* Rupture of the balloon used for post-conditioning.

In the 3 + 3 design, 3 subjects are recruited for a given ischemic post-conditioning dose level. The trial is stopped if ≥ 2 of 3 subjects at a given dose level show major response. If only 1 of 3 subjects shows major response, 3 more subjects are recruited at a given dose level and a major response in any of them will stop the trial. Otherwise, same procedure is followed for the next ischemic post-conditioning dose level. Maximum tolerable dose will be the dose at the level before stopping of the trial.
