An interventional study of Hemofiltration and Standard acute ischemic stroke treatment in Acute Ischemic Stroke, sponsored by University Medical Center, Kazakhstan. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-03-06.
Sponsored by University Medical Center, Kazakhstan · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
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.
Exclusion Criteria:
Standard acute ischemic stroke treatment + hemofiltration Standard treatment included thrombolytic therapy for eligible candidates (tPA 0,9 mg/kg, max dose 90 mg)
Device: Hemofiltration · Procedure: Standard acute ischemic stroke treatment
Standard acute ischemic stroke treatment Standard treatment included thrombolytic therapy for eligible candidates (tPA 0,9 mg/kg, max dose 90 mg)
Procedure: Standard acute ischemic stroke treatment
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
Time frame: 28 days
