Study summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether reducing a patients body temperature (mild hypothermia of 33 degrees Centigrade) will significantly reduce the risk of brain injury (notably reperfusion injury and hemorrhagic conversion) in patients that have suffered a significant interruption of blood flow to an area of brain (occlusion of large proximal cerebral artery) and have undergone successful removal of that interruption (revascularization).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Reperfusion Injury \ Hemorrhagic Transformation

    Asymptomatic and symptomatic Hemorrhages defined as homogenous density occupying \>30% of the infarct zone with mass effect

    Time frame: 24 Hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Modified Rankin Scale 0-2

    Modified Rankin Score 0=no symptoms 1. no significant disability 2. slight disability needs help 3. moderate disability 4. moderate serve disability 5. severe disability 0-2 = good outcome 3-5= poor outcome

    Time frame: 90 days post hospitalization

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
Not marked actual or estimatedDates not marked actual or estimated

The record gives a start of May 2012, a primary completion of Aug 2012 and a completion of Aug 2012. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Aug 2014, 2 years after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 1, 2014, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
