NCT01874093

Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of SPG stimulation with the ISS in a 24 hour window, in patients with an acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation, who received Mechanical Thrombectomy and/or IV-rtPA and Standard of Care.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Distribution of patients across the ordinal modified Rankin scale (mRS)

    The primary effectiveness endpoint will be the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) evaluated by the site on Day 90±7. The statistical analysis of the primary effectiveness endpoint will be: Sliding Dichotomous mRS.

    90 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Distribution of patients with NIHSS best language score ≥ 2 at screening across the ordinal modified Rankin scale (mRS)

    90 days

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years - 85 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age: ≥ 40 years and ≤ 80 years for male and 85 for female subjects
  • Clinical diagnosis of an acute ischemic stroke in the Carotid, Middle or Anterior Cerebral Artery territories based on general physical examination and neurological examination.
  • Imaging findings demonstrating signs of ischemia (or total arterial occlusion prior to the MT procedure) in the anterior circulation, consistent with the clinical diagnosis.
  • Performance of MT within \<8 hours from stroke onset and/or administration of IV-rtPA within ≤ 4.5 hours from stroke onset.
  • NIHSS ≥ 7 and ≤ 18 within 2 hours prior to implantation.
  • Ability to initiate treatment within
  • ≤ 24 hours from stroke onset.
  • Signed informed consent from patient him/herself or legally authorized representative if applicable.

You may not qualify if:

  • Neuro-imaging evidence of any intracranial hemorrhage (including suspect of Sub Arachnoid Hemorrhage) or hemorrhagic transformation of brain infarct or other significant abnormality (e.g. tumor, abscess)
  • Massive stroke, defined as acute parenchymal lesion with effacement of cerebral sulci in over 2/3 of the MCA territory.
  • Acute stroke due to lacunar infarct as defined by a clinical syndrome (pure motor hemiparesis, ataxic hemiparesis, sensorimotor stroke, dysarthria-clumsy hand syndrome), unless brain imaging demonstrates a relevant lesion \> 1.5 cm in size.
  • Clinical signs and symptoms or evidence for a relevant lesion by neuro-imaging of an acute ischemic stroke in the posterior circulation (Vertebral, Basilar and/or Posterior Cerebral Artery territories), including but not limited to brain-stem findings and/or cerebellar findings and/or isolated homonymous hemianopia or cortical blindness.
  • Minor stroke with non-disabling deficit or rapidly improving neurological symptoms.
  • Clinical signs and symptoms or imaging evidence of bilateral stroke.
  • Treated with IA-rtPA for the current stroke.
  • Complicated MT procedure (including procedures with more than 3 clot removal attempts (catheter passes), or MT procedure that lasted more than 2 hours)
  • NIHSS level of consciousness score ≥ 2.
  • Previous stroke in the last 6 months or previous stroke with existing sequelae or with mRS \> 0 for any reason
  • Pre-existing disability; Pre-existing Modified Rankin Score \>1, even if not stroke-related.
  • Patients with bleeding propensity and/or one of the following: INR≥ 1.8, prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≥ 45 sec., platelets count \< 75×109/L prior to the implantation/sham procedure.
  • Known cerebral arteriovenous malformation, cerebral aneurysm.
  • Seizure at onset.
  • Blood glucose concentration \< 60 mg/dL.
  • +12 more criteria
