Overview

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of enrolling, evaluating, and treating with glyburide for injection severe anterior circulation ischemic stroke participants, whether or not treated with standard of care intravenous (IV) recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA). Participants must be between 18-80 years of age, must have a baseline diffusion weighted image (DWI) lesion volume 82 -210 centimeters cubed (cm3), and time from symptom onset to start of study infusion must be ≤10 hour(hr). The secondary objectives are to assess the initial safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) /pharmacodynamics (PD) of glyburide in severe stroke participants, as well as to compare the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcome data to benchmark data derived from published literature.

Detailed Description

This is a multi-center, prospective, open label, phase IIa trial of glyburide for injection in 10 participants with a severe anterior circulation ischemic stroke who are likely to experience clinically significant brain swelling. Participants will receive glyburide, delivered as an IV bolus followed by an IV infusion for 72 hours. Participants will have a baseline (pretreatment) MRI scan as standard of care, and three follow up MRI scans (at 24+12 hours, 48+12 hours, and 72±12 hours). Since recanalization may have an effect on outcome, the results of vascular studies, obtained as part of standard of care and defined as CTA, MRA or catheter angiography of the head and neck, will be recorded. Additionally, clinical endpoints such as the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Full Outline of UnResponsiveness Score (FOUR) Score (baseline, 24±12 hour, 48±12 hour, 72±12 hour and 7±1 days) and Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) (30±5 days and 90±7 days) will be assessed. Safety parameters will be assessed through Day 7 or discharge (whichever is sooner), and then again at Day 30±5 and Day 90±7. Study participation is expected to last 90±7 days.

  • Pre-morbid mRS 0 -
  • A baseline DWI lesion between 82 cm3 and 210 cm3 on MRI.
  • Patients treated with IV rtPA should meet established criteria for IV rtPA administration in the 0-3 and 3-4.5 hr time periods, respectively.
  • The time to the start of infusion of study compound must be ≤ 10 hr after time of symptom onset
  • Age ≥18 years and ≤70 years.
  • Provision of written informed consent by the patient or from a legally authorized representative according to institutional guidelines and national regulations.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Evidence from imaging or pre-enrollment investigation of any diagnosis other than acute ischemic stroke likely to cause the presenting symptoms and signs.
  • Commitment to decompressive craniectomy (DC) prior to enrollment, or follow-ing enrollment and prior to start of study compound.
  • Treatment with IA rtPA or by mechanical means for clot disruption or with hypo-thermia.
  • Patients unable to tolerate MRI scanning, e.g. those with pacemakers or automatic defibrillators.
