NCT00963989

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this clinical evaluation is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the Penumbra System in a stroke cohort who presents within 8 hours from symptom and with a known core infarct volume at admission. The secondary objective is to determine if there is a correlation between infarct volume and functional outcome in treated patients at 90 days post-procedure.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Functional Outcome as Defined by a mRS of 0-2 at 90 Days Post-procedure

    Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ranges from 0 to 5, with higher scores being worse.

    At 90 days post-procedure

  • Angiographic Assessment of Vessel Patency as Measured by TIMI Score

    Defined by Number of participants with Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 2-3. A lower score means a worse outcome and higher scores means better outcome on a scale of 0-3.

    At immediate post-procedure

  • Angiographic Assessment of Vessel Patency as Measured by Modified TICI Score

    Defined by number of participants with modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) 2-3. A lower score means a worse outcome and higher scores means better outcome on a scale of 0-3.

    At immediate post-procedure

  • Procedural Serious Adverse Events During the Procedure

    Defined by serious adverse events (SAEs) within 24 hours of the procedure

    During the procedure, approximately 24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Good Neurological Recovery Post-procedure as Defined by a 10 Points or More Improvement on the NIHSS at Discharge

    At Discharge, an average of 7 days

  • Incidence of Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Hemorrhage Based on the ECASS Criteria and Patient Neurological Status Within 24 Hours of the Procedure

    Within 24 hours of the procedure

  • All Cause Mortality at 90 Days Post-procedure

    At 90 days post-procedure

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 85 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • From 18 to 85 years of age.
  • Evidence of proximal anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (TIMI /TICI 0-1) (Tables 2A \& B). Target vessel occlusion may include the supra-clinoid segment of the ICA through the M1 segment of the MCA.
  • Presented with symptoms consistent with acute ischemic stroke within 8 hours of symptom onset. Patients who presented within 3 hours must be ineligible or refractory to IV rtPA therapy.
  • At time of enrollment, neurological deficit resulting in an NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 10 or greater.
  • Core infarct volume assessed by CTP, CTA or DWI scans within 60 minutes to arterial puncture.
  • Signed informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • History of stroke in the past 3 months.
  • Vessel tortuosity too difficult to allow endovascular access.
  • Pre-existing neurological or psychiatric disease that could confound the study results such as a pre-stroke mRS score of 1 or greater.
  • Known severe allergy to contrast media.
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure \> 185 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \> 110 mmHg).
  • Noncontrast CT evidence of the following conditions before enrollment:
  • Significant mass effect with midline shift;
  • Evidence of intracranial hemorrhage.
  • Angiographic evidence of an arterial stenosis proximal to the occlusion that could prevent thrombus removal.
  • Angiographic evidence of preexisting arterial injury.
  • Life expectancy less than 90 days.
  • Participation in another clinical investigation that could confound the evaluation of the study.
