Trial summary

Ischemic stroke is accompanied by a three to four hundred percent increase in the brain's extracellular fluid (ECF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentration of glutamate, which diffuses and damages surrounding neurons. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Hemofiltration in Acute Ischemic Stroke Management

Ischemic stroke is accompanied by a three to four hundred percent increase in the brain's extracellular fluid (ECF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentration of glutamate, which diffuses and damages surrounding neurons. In this study we tested our hypothesis that blood glutamate levels can be reduced by hemofiltration, resulting in increased extracellular clearance of glutamate and attenuated neurodegeneration, and that decreased blood glutamate levels can provide significant neuroprotection against stroke-associated neurodegeneration, dysfunction and death. Our primary outcome of interest was to assess safety of hemofiltration in acute ischemic stroke patients.

Ethical Conduct of the Study

Investigator Responsibilities

The principle investigator was responsible for monitoring and responding to adverse events, ethical participant use, compliance with the protocols and any protocol amendments, decisions to end the study early and compliance with data and sample management protocols. CO-PI was trained in both local and international requirements and standards and assisted and report to the PI on these tasks.

Participant Selection and Enrollment

Eligible participants were identified by medical staff at the ICU or emergency department. Enrollment will be standardized and directed by Co-PI.

Screening for Eligibility

A screening log was completed for all eligible patients. Data including inclusion criteria met, exclusion criteria not met and date consent obtained was collected on this form. It was kept in a locked cabinet at the center.

Informed Consent

The informed consent form was available in both Russian and Kazakh languages and was approved by the Institutional Research Ethics Committee (IREC) before use.

Monitoring for safety (hemofiltration-related adverse events (HRAE). All adverse events which occurred during the course of HF including the serious adverse events (SAE) were documented and analyzed. The attending physicians as well as the chief of neurocritical care unit and the principal investigator were responsible for screening for HRAE. In case if any of HRAE occurred all research team members as well as the chief of ICU and the medical director of the hospital were informed. All HRAEs were analyzed by the research team members and the medical director of the hospital. The patients were screened for the following adverse events: hypotension, hypertension, cardiac dysrhythmia, hypothermia or hyperthermia, disorders of water-electrolyte and acid-base balance, bleeding disorders, hemorrhagic transformation of acute ischemic stroke.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety monitoring for adverse events

    The patients were screened continuously for the following adverse events: death, bleeding disorders, hemorrhagic transformation of acute ischemic stroke, central line-related blood stream infection, cardiac dysrhythmia within 28 days

    Measured: 28 days

Model description
Hemofiltration protocol. Hemofiltration was started after all enrollment criteria (informed consent, inclusion/exclusion criteria checklists, registration and assignment to treatment arm) had been met . Vascular access was secured by inserting an 11F double lumen catheter (GamCath, Gambro, Germany) into the jugular, femoral or subclavian vein. CVVH (continuous veno-venous hemofiltration) was carried out using a hemofiltration machine (Fresenius Multifiltrate, Germany). In all patients a 1.9 m2 highly permeable cellulose triacetate hemofilter was used (NIPRO UF205, Nissho corporation, Japan). All patients were treated by CVVH with the predilution mode; the blood flow was set at 180 ml/min.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hemofiltration and Standard acute ischemic stroke treatment in people with Acute Ischemic Stroke, run by University Medical Center, Kazakhstan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety monitoring for adverse events (time frame: 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Mar 2018.
