Hypothermia With Intrajugular Cooling in Acute Ischemic Stroke Thrombectomy

Not Applicable
Conditions
Acute Ischemic Stroke
Interventions
Procedure: Hypothermia with intrajugular cooling
Registration Number
NCT05488392
Lead Sponsor
Capital Medical University
Brief Summary

Hypothermia with intrajugular cooling is a neuroprotective strategy that has been proven to minimize brain damage and maximize functional preservation in animal models of stroke. The purpose of this proof-of-concept study is to determine the safety and tolerability of intrajugular cooling in patients with acute ischemic stroke who are treated with mechanical thrombectomy.

  2. Suffering from heart diseases such as ventricular arrhythmia/myocardial infarction/congestive heart failure;
  3. Imaging examination after mechanical thrombectomy shows intracranial hemorrhage/contrast extravasation;

Intrajugular cooling groupHypothermia with intrajugular coolingThe safety and tolerability of hypothermia with intrajugular cooling will be investigated using 3+3 dose-escalation trial design.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with major responseWithin 24 hours after hypothermia with intrajugular cooling

Major response is any of the following:

1. Cerebral venous system damage;

2. Cerebral venous thrombosis;

3. Huge hematoma at the puncture site requiring surgical intervention;

4. Malignant arrhythmia within 24 hours;

5. Cardiac arrest within 24 hours;

6. Myocardial infarction within 24 hours;

7. Congestive heart failure within 24 hours.

In the 3 + 3 design, 3 subjects are recruited for a given intrajugular cooling 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 dose level. Maximum tolerable dose will be the dose at the level before stopping of the trial. The schedule of advancing duration is 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 25 min, and 30 min.
