About this study

The aim of this study is to evaluate the tolerance of intravenous milrinone combined to the current standard treatment for cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Assessment of IV milrinone safety in this setting is mandatory before the conduction of a large study assessing its effectiveness.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the hemodynamic tolerance of intravenous milrinone for the treatment of arterial vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Intravenous milrinone is part of our standard care protocol for the management of cerebral vasospasm in association with nimodipine (intravenous or enteral route) and high arterial blood pressure (mean arterial pressure of 100-120 mmHg, spontaneously or induced by volume expansion and norepinephrine). All patients of our ICU who were diagnosed with cerebral arterial vasospasm during the few days following a subarachnoid hemorrhage will be included.

Being tested
Rhythmic tolerance, Hematological tolerance, Milrinone efficiency on cerebral vasospasm, Milrinone efficiency using the modified Rankin scale
Keywords
Cerebral vasospasm, Subarachnoid hemorrhage, Milrinone, Hemodynamic tolerance
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Rhythmic toleranceOther

    Rhythmic intolerance is defined by the occurrence of arrhythmia prompting the initiation of an antiarrhythmic medication and the need to decrease or even to stop the infusion of milrinone

  • Hematological toleranceOther

    Hematological tolerance will be considered good if milrinone infusion was not interrupted owing to the occurrence of thrombocytopenia

  • Milrinone efficiency on cerebral vasospasmOther

    It will be assessed using ultrasound measurements of middle cerebral arteries velocities. A decrease of at least 20% of the mean velocity or of the Lindegaard index will be considered as a significant positive effect of the treatment (including milrinone).

  • Milrinone efficiency using the modified Rankin scaleOther

    Scored as follows: 0 = No symptoms, 1 = No significant disability. Able to perform all usual activities, despite certain symptoms, 2= Slight disability. Able to take care of his own affairs without assistance, but unable to carry out all previous activities, 3 = Moderate disability. Requires some help, but able to walk unassisted, 4 = Moderate severe disability. Unable to meet their own physical needs without help and unable to walk without help, 5 Severe disability. Needs constant care and attention, bedridden, incontinent, 6 = Death.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hemodynamic tolerance during treatment: defined by a stable mean blood pressure of 100-120

    A good hemodynamic tolerance is defined by a stable mean blood pressure of 100-120 mmHg without neither the need to decrease milrinone infusion rate below 0.5 g.kg-1.min-1 nor the need to increase norepinephrine above 1g.kg-1.min-1 Safety Issue: No

    Measured: At 6 months.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Rhythmic tolerance: defined by the occurrence of arrhythmia prompting the initiation of

    Rhythmic intolerance is defined by the occurrence of arrhythmia prompting the initiation of an antiarrhythmic medication and the need to decrease or even to stop the infusion of milrinone Safety Issue: No

    Measured: Rhythmic tolerance will be assessed for the duration of treatment, which will be on average one month.Heart rate and rhythm will be measured continuously, but assessed for fluctuation outside the reference range daily (during the length of treatment).

  2. Hematological tolerance: will be considered good if milrinone infusion was not interrupted

    Hematological tolerance will be considered good if milrinone infusion was not interrupted owing to the occurrence of thrombocytopenia Safety Issue: No

    Measured: Hematological tolerance will be assessed daily through measuring platelet count for the duration of treatment.

  3. Milrinone efficiency on cerebral vasospasm

    It will be assessed using ultrasound measurements of middle cerebral arteries velocities. A decrease of at least 20% of the mean velocity or of the Lindegaard index will be considered as a significant positive effect of the treatment (including milrinone).

    Safety Issue: No

    Measured: Milrinone efficiency on cerebral vasospasm will be assessed for the duration of treatment, which will be on average one month. Mean velocity and the lindegard index will be initially measured at 0, 2, 12 and 24 hours; and subsequently daily.

  4. Milrinone efficiency on patient-centered neurological outcome using the modified Rankin scale

    Scored as follows: 0 = No symptoms, 1 = No significant disability. Able to perform all usual activities, despite certain symptoms, 2= Slight disability. Able to take care of his own affairs without assistance, but unable to carry out all previous activities, 3 = Moderate disability. Requires some help, but able to walk unassisted, 4 = Moderate severe disability. Unable to meet their own physical needs without help and unable to walk without help, 5 Severe disability. Needs constant care and attention, bedridden, incontinent, 6 = Death.

    Safety Issue: No

    Measured: At 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cerebral Vasospasm and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, run by Nantes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 3 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 3 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Hemodynamic tolerance during treatment: defined by a stable mean blood pressure of 100-120 (time frame: At 6 months.). 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 3 Mar 2022.
