E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• To evaluate the efficacy of IAT in addition to BMM compared to BMM alone in terms of favourable outcome at 90 days, defined as a modified Rankin score of 0-3, in patients with an acute ischemic stroke caused by basilar artery occlusion.
• Secondary analysis will compare outcome in the following pre-defined subgroups:
- Patients with a baseline NIHSS of <10, 10 -19, and those with a baseline NIHSS of 20.
- Patients treated with IVT within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, and those treated beyond 4.5 hours of symptom onset within 4.5 hours of estimated time of basilar artery occlusion.
- Patients treated with IVT and those with a contra-indication for IVT.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- efficacy of IAT in patients with a contra-indication for IVT in terms of fa-vourable outcome at 90 days (mRS of 0-3, in patients with an acute ischemic stroke caused by BAO),
- safety of a combined IV/IA compared to IV rt-PA alone. (symptomatic intra-cranial haemorrhage or intracranial haemorrhage contributing to patients’ death as determined by the study safety committee confirmed on neuroimaging within 3 days of treatment initiation (CT or MRI), or overall mortality at 90 days),
- efficacy of IAT/ BMM compared to BMM alone in terms of a favourable outcome at day 90 (1) Excellent outcome defined as a mRS of 0-2, 2) mRS - not dichotomized and 3) EQ-5D. 4) An improved early response to treatment as deter-mined by a reduction in NIHSS by 5 points or more at 24 h. 5) A CT or MR angi-ography assessment of basilar artery patency at 24 h. 6) The volume of cerebral infarction as measured by a NCCT + CTA-SI at 24 h),
- safety and efficacy of mechanical devices as the trial progresses |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Symptoms and signs compatible with ischemia in the basilar artery territory.
• Basilar artery occlusion confirmed by CTA or MRA.
• Age18 or older (i.e., candidates must have had their 18th birthday).
• If IVT is considered as part of BMM, IVT has to be initiated within 4.5 hours of estimated time of basilar artery occlusion.
• Initiation of IA therapy should be feasible within 6 hours of estimated time of BAO. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Pre-existing dependency with mRankin ≥3.
• Females of childbearing potential who are known to be pregnant and/or lactating or who have positive pregnancy tests on admission.
• Patients who require hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
• Other serious, advanced, or terminal illness.
• Any other condition that the investigator feels would pose a significant hazard to the patient if IA therapy is initiated.
• Current participation in another research drug treatment protocol (patient cannot start another experimental agent until after 90 days).
• Informed consent is not or cannot be obtained.
Imaging Exclusion Criteria
• Lesion consistent with hemorrhage of any degree.
• Significant cerebellar mass effect or acute hydrocephalus.
• Bilateral extended brainstem ischemia. |
