E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The main objective of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of add-on Teofylin treatment to standard thrombolytic therapy in patients with MR-proved acute ischemic stroke. The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial comparing add-on Teofylin to placebo. The main interests are to demonstrate the tissue effect of Teofylin by measuring the infarct growth assessed by multimodal MRI as well as improved early clinical outcome |

Title: Tissue effect of Teofylin by measuring the salvage of penumbra assessed by multimodal MRI as well as improved early clinical outcome
Objective: The main objective of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of add-on Teofylin treatment to standard thrombolytic therapy in patients with MR-proved acute ischemic stroke and DWI/PWI-mismatch suspicious for penumbra (brain tissue at risk).
The main interests are to demonstrate the tissue effect of Teofylin by measuring the salvage of penumbra assessed by multimodal MRI as well as improved early clinical outcome |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Dual Primary Outcome Measures
•Infact growth at 22-32 hours after add-on Teofylin treatment
•Clinical improvement at 22-32 hours after add-on Teofylin treatment |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
22-32 hours after add-on Teofylin treatment |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
•Major clinical improvement 22-32 hours after add-on Teofylin treatment: Major clinical improvement is defined by ≥50% improvement in the NIHSS.
•Recanalization rate from baseline to 22-32 hours after add-on Teofylin treatment: The recanalization rate is defined as change of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) score 0 or 1 at baseline to TIMI at 22-32 hours.
•Dichotomized favourable functional outcome: Dichotomized functional outcome at day 90±14 defined by the modified Rankin scale (mRS), which has a range of 0 to 6, with 0 indicating no symptoms at all and 6 indicating death: The secondary endpoint is dichotomized as favourable functional outcome (mRS score of 0 or 1) or unfavourable functional outcome (mRS score of 2 to 6).
•Categorical shift in functional outcome: Functional outcome measures with the categorical shift (ordinal analysis) of the mRS at day 90±14.
•A subgroup analysis for the primary and secondary endpoints will be performed for subjects with and without persistent symptomatic vessel occlusion, for subjects with non-lacunar infarction, and for subjects with endovascular therapy IV rtPA treatment (bridging theray). Subjects recruited in accordance to the TEA-Stroke protocol version 4.2 will be analysed per protocol version 4.2 for all endpoints as substudy analysis
Safety Outcome Measures
•Death within 90±14 days
•Parenchyma hematoma type I or II (PH-1 or PH-2) at 22-32 hours on brain imaging
•Symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) as a combined clinical/imaging endpoint defined by parenchyma hematoma type II (PH-2) on brain imaging and a clinical assessment with a decline ≥4 on NIHSS or death.
