Reperfusion With Cooling in Cerebral Acute Ischemia II (ReCCLAIM II)
Phase 2 Study of Mild Hypothermia in Combination With Acute Cerebral Vascular Reperfusion in the Setting of Acute Ischemic Stroke

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
This study is designed to examine the safety and proof of concept of therapeutic hypothermia prior to conventional revascularization in subjects experiencing acute ischemic stroke by comparing the results to subjects who remain at normal body temperature (normothermic) and proceed directly to reperfusion via conventional reperfusion intervention. The investigational plan also examines the following outcomes in 85 subjects randomized to either hypothermia or normothermia:
- Regulation of biomarkers indicative of ischemia-reperfusion injury
- Changes in blood brain injury using the Hyperintense Acute Reperfusion Marker (HARM) protocol MRI as a surrogate imaging biomarker
- Incidence of hemorrhagic conversion post reperfusion
- Neurologic function at 90 days post acute ischemic stroke. The results of this study will be used to power a definitive phase III clinical trial evaluating the combination of hypothermia and revascularization versus reperfusion alone.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female subjects of any ethnicity and age >/=18 but </= 85 years;
- Symptom onset </=8 hours;
- Symptoms consistent with an ischemic stroke with a large vessel occlusion (Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA), Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) terminus) as determined by vascular imaging, CT or MRI;
- Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) of 5-10 on non-contrast CT of the brain;
- Ability to undergo endovascular reperfusion therapy;
- No contraindications to general anesthesia or allergies to any components associated with the anticipated diagnostic or treatment procedures that cannot be treated;
- A pre-treatment modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 0 or 1;

- Subject must be able to understand and give written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Females of childbearing potential who are pregnant or not using adequate contraception;
- Bleeding diathesis with a platelet count < 50,000 or International Normalized Ratio (INR) >1.5 or any active or recent (within 10 to 30 days) hemorrhage;

- Baseline CT/MRI of head showing evidence of mass effect with mid-line shift, hemorrhage, intracranial tumor, arterial vasculitis or dissection, or bilateral stroke;
- Presence of any other serious comorbidity that would be likely to impact life expectancy to less than 6 months or limit subject cooperation or study compliance;
- Concurrent participation in an investigational clinical study that has not completed the follow-up period or planned participation in another study within the next 3 months;
- Subject has any other condition or personal circumstance that, in the judgment of the investigator, might interfere with the collection of complete, good quality data or the completion of the research study

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Normothermia
As part of standard of care, an interventional reperfusion procedure will be performed on all subjects using current FDA approved devices.
After which patient will be started on normothermia attempting to keep core body temp between 38 and 36.5 degrees centigrade.
Patients will also undergo blood draws for biomarkers before reperfusion is achieved the immediately, 6 hours then 24 hours after reperfusion.
|
|
Experimental: Mild Hypothermia
As part of standard of care, an interventional reperfusion procedure will be performed on all subjects using current FDA cleared device.
Patient will also have a Quattro catheter placed in the femoral vein and temperature brought to 33 degrees centigrade as quickly as possible.
They will stay in mild hypothermia for 12 hours and then be rewarmed very slowly.
Patients will also undergo blood draws for biomarkers before reperfusion is achieved the immediately, 6 hours then 24 hours after reperfusion.
|
Hypothermia will be achieved using the Zoll Thermoguard XP technology with the Quattro catheter.
This catheter has a 9.3 Fr diameter and is 4 3cm long.
It will be placed in the patients femoral vein via Seldinger technique, before reperfusion is achieved.
Hypothermia will be initiated prior to reperfusion.
Once temperature has reached 33.5 degrees centigrade the patient will remain at that temperature for 12 hours after which the patient will undergo active gradual rewarming at 0.2 degrees centigrade per hour.
