Drug Eluting Stenting and Aggressive Medical Treatment for Preventing Recurrent Stroke in Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease Trial (DREAM-PRIDE)

December 25, 2024 updated by: Beijing Tiantan Hospital

Drug Eluting Stenting and Aggressive Medical Treatment for Preventing Recurrent Stroke in Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease Trial: a Prospective, Randomized, Open-labelled, Blinded End-point Trial (DREAM-PRIDE)

The aim of DREAM-PRIDE is to evaluate whether implantation of drug-eluting stent (DES) combined with aggressive medical treatment is more efficacious in prevention of 1-year stroke recurrence than standard medical treatment alone for symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This trial is a prospective, multi-center, 1:1 randomized using drug-eluting (Sirolimus) stent combined with aggressive medical treatment versus standard medical treatment to treat symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease. Primary efficacy endpoints (any of the following): 1) any stroke or death within 30 days after enrollment, 2) any stroke or death within 30 days after a revascularization procedure of the qualifying lesion during follow-up, 3) ischemic stroke in the territory of the qualifying artery beyond 30 days to 1 year.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Severe or moderate bleeding (GUSTO score)
Time Frame: 12 months after enrollment

Bleeding events were defined according to the Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Coronary Arteries (GUSTO) classification for severe or life-threatening, moderate, or mild bleeding:

Severe or life-threatening- Either intracranial hemorrhage or bleeding that causes hemodynamic compromise and requires intervention

Moderate- Bleeding that requires blood transfusion but does not result in hemodynamic compromise

Mild- Bleeding that does not meet criteria for either severe/life-threatening or moderate bleeding

12 months after enrollment
Any stroke or death within 30 days of enrollment or any revascularization procedure OR an ischemic stroke in the territory of the symptomatic intracranial artery between 31 day to 1 year.
Time Frame: 12 months after enrollment
Primary endpoints are composite event of (1) any stroke or death within 30 days after enrollment, (2) any stroke or death within 30 days after revascularization procedure of the qualifying lesion during follow-up, and (3) ischemic stroke in the territory of the qualifying artery from 31 days to 1 year. Ischemic stroke is defined as a new focal neurological deficit of sudden onset, that is associated with infarction lesion on CT or MRI. Ischemic strokes are classified as in or out of the territory of the symptomatic intracranial artery. Symptomatic brain hemorrhage is defined as parenchymal, subarachnoid, or intraventricular hemorrhage detected by CT or MRI that is associated with new neurological signs or symptoms (headache, change in level of consciousness, focal neurological symptoms) lasting ≥ 24 hours or a seizure.
12 months after enrollment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
In-stent restenosis (ISR) rate in DES group within 12 months
Time Frame: 12 months after enrollment
The ISR is defined as >50% stenosis within or immediately adjacent (within 5 mm) of the implanted stent and >20% absolute luminal loss.
12 months after enrollment
Disabling stroke within 1 year
Time Frame: 12 months after enrollment
defined as modified Rankin Scale > 3 at 1 year visit
12 months after enrollment
Any stroke, death or myocardial infarction within 1 year
Time Frame: 12 months after enrollment
Any stroke included ischemic stroke and symptomatic brain hemorrhage. Symptomatic brain hemorrhage refers to parenchymal, subarachnoid, or intraventricular hemorrhage that was associated with a seizure or with symptoms or signs lasting 24 hours or longer.
12 months after enrollment
Major non-stroke hemorrhage within 1 year
Time Frame: 12 months after enrollment
A major non-stroke-related hemorrhage was defined as any subdural or epidural hemorrhage or a systemic hemorrhage requiring hospitalization, blood transfusion, or surgery.
12 months after enrollment
Modified Rankin Scale score at 1 year
Time Frame: 12 months after enrollment
The range of modified Rankin Scale was from 0 to 6. 0-No symptoms;1-No significant disability;2-Slight disability;3-Moderate disability;4-Moderately severe disability;5-Severe disability;6 -Dead.A higher score indicates worse a outcome.
12 months after enrollment
Death within 1 year
Time Frame: 12 months after enrollment
Death within 1 year
12 months after enrollment
Residual stenosis after the procedure in DES group
Time Frame: At the end of the procedure
Degree of residual stenosis was measured and calculated according to the methods of the Warfarin-Aspirin Symptomatic Intracranial Disease (WASID) trial.
At the end of the procedure
