Condition(s) targeted: Acute Ischemic Stroke
Intervention: human serum albumin infusion (Biological); placebo (Drug)
Phase: Phase 3
Status: Terminated
Sponsored by: University of Miami Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s): Myron D. Ginsberg, MD, Study Chair, Affiliation: University of Miami Michael D. Hill, MD MSc, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: University of Calgary Yuko Y Palesch, PhD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: Medical University of South Carolina
Summary
The goal of the trial is to determine whether human albumin, administered within 5 hours of
symptom onset, improves the 3-month outcome of subjects with acute ischemic stroke.
Clinical Details
Official title: A Phase III Randomized Multicenter Clinical Trial Of High-Dose Human Albumin Therapy For Neuroprotection In Acute Ischemic Stroke
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: NIHSS and mRS -- favorable outcome defined as either NIHSS 0-1 or mRS 0-1, or both
Secondary outcome: Overall clinical outcome (as assessed by global statistical test of NIHSS, mRS, and BI scores)mRS (dichotomized and full-scale) Symptomatic ICH Congestive heart failure Pulmonary edema Barthel Index Quality-of-life measures: EuroQol at 3 and 12 months, and SSQO at 3 months Recurrent ischemic stroke Death within 3 months and at 12 months after randomization Cognition (Trailmaking A and B)
Detailed description:
Human serum albumin, at 2 g/kg, administered over 2 hours by intravenous infusion, will be
compared to placebo (isovolumic normal saline) among patients with acute ischemic stroke.
All patients will have a baseline stroke severity measured as NIH Stroke scale score > 5.
Patients will treated according to the best standard of care including concurrent treatment
with intravenous or intra-arterial thrombolysis where appropriate. The primary outcome will
be determined at 3 months. The primary hypothesis is that, using the composite outcome of a
modified Rankin score 0-1 or NIH stroke scale score 0-1 at 3 months (or both), the
proportion of patients with improved outcomes will be greater by 10% or more in the active
treatment group. [The current trial is termed "Part 2" and incorporates revisions to the
initial protocol that were instituted after the DSMB suspended subject recruitment because
of a safety concern after 434 subjects had been enrolled. The protocol revisions of Part 2
resulted from the study team's thorough review of the Part-1 safety data and were designed
to optimize safety going forward.]
Eligibility
Minimum age: 18 Years.
Maximum age: 83 Years.
Gender(s): Both.
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Acute ischemic stroke
- NIH stroke scale score > 5
- Age >= 18 and <= 83
- ALB or placebo can be administered within 5 hours of symptom onset
- ALB or placebo can be administered within 60 minutes of tPA administration in the
thrombolysis group
- Signed informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Episode/exacerbation of congestive heart failure (CHF) from any cause in the last 6
months. An episode of congestive heart failure is any heart failure that required a
change in medication, diet or hospitalization.
- Known valvular heart disease with CHF in the last 6 months.
- Severe aortic stenosis or mitral stenosis.
- Cardiac surgery involving thoracotomy (e. g., coronary artery bypass graft (CABG),
valve replacement surgery) in the last 6 months.
- Acute myocardial infarction in the last 6 months.
- Signs or symptoms of acute myocardial infarction, including ECG findings, on
admission.
- Baseline elevated serum troponin level on admission (>0. 1 mcg/L)
- Suspicion of aortic dissection on admission.
- Acute arrhythmia (including any tachycardia - or bradycardia) with hemodynamic
instability.
- Findings on physical examination of any of the following: (1) jugular venous
distention (JVP > 4 cm above the sternal angle); (2) 3rd heart sound; (3) resting
tachycardia (heart rate > 100/min) attributable to congestive heart failure; (4)
abnormal hepatojugular reflux; (5) lower extremity pitting edema attributable to
congestive heart failure; and/or (6) definite chest x-ray evidence of pulmonary
edema.
- Current acute or chronic lung disease requiring supplemental chronic or intermittent
oxygen therapy.
- Historical mRS ≥2. Patients who live in a nursing home or who are not fully
independent for activities of daily living immediately prior to the stroke are not
eligible for the trial.
- In-patient stroke. I. e., patients with a stroke occurring as a complication of
hospitalization for another condition, or as a complication of a procedure.
- Planned acute use of intra-arterial (IA) tPA or acute endovascular intervention
(e. g., stenting, angioplasty, thrombus retrieval device use) must conform to the
following criteria: (1) begin within 5 hours of symptom onset, and (2) finish within
7 hours of symptom-onset.
- Fever, defined as core body temperature > 37. 5oC (99. 5oF).
- Serum creatinine > 2. 0 mg/dL or 180 µmol/L.
- Profound dehydration.
- Evidence of intracranial hemorrhage (intracerebral hematoma (ICH), subarachnoid
hemorrhage (SAH), epidural hemorrhage, acute or chronic subdural hematoma (SDH)) on
the baseline CT or MRI scan.
- History of allergy to albumin.
- History of latex rubber allergy.
- Severe chronic anemia with Hgb < 7. 5 g/dL
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding or positive pregnancy test. (Women of childbearing age must
have a negative pregnancy test prior to ALB administration.)
- Concurrent participation in any other therapeutic clinical trial.
- Evidence of any other major life-threatening or serious medical condition that would
prevent completion of 3-month follow-up, impair the assessment of outcome, or in
which ALB therapy would be contraindicated or might cause harm to the subject.
