Manipulation of Arterial Pressure in Acute Ischemic Stroke (MAPAS)

December 30, 2009 updated by: Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre

Manipulation of Arterial Pressure Early in Non Thrombolysed Acute Ischemic Stroke: Effects on Death and Neurological Disability

This is a controlled clinical trial among non thrombolysed acute ischemic stroke patients to determine the effects of three levels of arterial pressure on death and neurological disability. After the admission in the vascular unit of the Emergency Department the patients are randomized to maintain during the first 24h the Systolic Arterial Pressure in tree levels of pressure: 140 to 160 mmHg; 161 to 180 mmHg and 181 to 200 mmHg. The end point of the study is the Modified Rankin score and mortality in three month after the discharge.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

To maintain the tree levels of systolic arterial pressure during de first 24h we will use one of the two strategies:1) infusion of 500 to 1000ml of saline solution and/or norepinephrine solution to increase de systolic pressure or 2) infusion of esmolol or nitroprussiate solution to decrease de pressure. Every patient will have a transcranial doppler study in the first 24h to measure the mean velocity of cerebral arteries.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers
