REmote iSchemic Conditioning in acUtE BRAin INfarction Study

Not Applicable
Conditions
Cerebral Infarction
Interventions
Device: Lower limb tourniquet
Other: Usual care
Registration Number
NCT02189928
Lead Sponsor
Versailles Hospital
Brief Summary

Cerebral infarction is the most common form of stroke (80% of strokes). Stroke is the first cause of acquired disability, and the 2nd cause of dementia and death. The only approved treatment in the first 4.5 hour is intravenous rt-PA thrombolysis (Actilyse ®) whose objective is recanalization of occluded artery and reperfusion of the brain parenchyma. Few patients are treated (1-5%) and they keep disability in 50-60% of cases. This handicap is mainly correlated to the final infarct size. The objective of neuroprotective treatments is to reduce the final size of the cerebral infarction.

The per-conditioning remote ischemic (Per-CID) showed a neuroprotective effect in cerebral ischemia by reducing the final size of cerebral infarction animal models. The per-CID corresponds, in cases of cerebral ischemia, to iterative ischemia realization of a member with a cuff. In humans, the per-CID has shown a cardioprotective effect in a randomized control trial involving 250 patients within 6 first hours of myocardial infarction and candidate for primary angioplasty.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Brain MRI changes of DWI ( Diffusion-Weighted Imaging) brain infarction volume (cc) between baseline (<H6) and day 1 in the 2 groups of patients ( Remote Ischemic Perconditioning and control)24 hours

Central lecture of brain MRI, blinded to clinical data, randomisation group and day of MRI realization ( day 0 or day 1) Endpoint criteria: DWI volume d1-d0 (cc) measured by a dedicated software (Neurinfarct) Comparison of DWI volume d1-d0 between the 2 groups ( Per-CID group and control)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) <2 at 3 months in the 2 groups (PerCID and control)3 months

Percentage of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) \<2 ( i.e. favorable outcome with no disability) at 3 months in the 2 groups (PerCID and control)
