E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess whether metoclopramide and/or SOD reduce mortality in patients with dysphagia after stroke |

To assess the effect of metoclopramide and SOD on secondary outcomes: clinical outcomes, pneumonia incidence, disability, safety and costs |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Adult patients (18 years and over) with a clinical diagnosis of acute stroke (as defined by the World Health Organization, excluding the requirement of a duration of 24 h or more) 2. Within 9 h of stroke onset (in wake-up stroke the onset is defined as the time the patient awoke or was found unless this is more than 12 h from last known well) 3. Moderate to severe neurological impairment with a NIHSS Score >=10 4. Unable to take a normal oral diet or fluids because a. too drowsy to be assessed formally or b. failed bedside assessment of swallowing

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Evidence of vomiting since stroke onset 2. Pre-existing swallowing problems 3. Known oesophageal pathology that might interfere with placement of a nasogastric tube (e.g. malignancy, achalasia, pharyngeal pouch or web) 4. Probable or definite pneumonia (abnormal chest exam or pyrexia >37.7 °C, or receiving antibiotic treatment at time of presentation) 5. Contraindications to metoclopramide (hypersensitivity to metoclopramide or any of the excipients (sodium chloride, citric acid monohydrate, sodium citrate, dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute sodium hydroxide, nitrogen, or water for injection), epilepsy, gastrointestinal obstruction, perforation, or haemorrhage, gastrointestinal surgery within the last week, Parkinson’s disease, treatment with levodopa or dopaminergic agonists, phaeochromocytoma or neuroleptic malignant syndrome or tardive dyskinesia or methaemoglobinaemia or NADH cytochrome –b5 deficiency), 6. Patients with severe liver disease (cirrhosis) or severe kidney disease (eGFR<30 L/min)[iv] 7. Known allergy to colistin (polymyxin E), tobramycin, aminoglycosides in general, or amphotericin B 8. Pregnant or breast feeding[v] 9. Other co-morbid conditions with a life expectancy of less than 3 months at the discretion of the clinical treating team 10. Inability to gain consent from the patient or a personal legal representative or refusal of consent
