Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Outcomes

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Patients presenting with posterior circulation ischemic stroke symptoms due to partial or complete basilar artery occlusion within 24 hours from symptom onset (or clinical deterioration/coma) or the time the patient was last known to be well.
* Patient's age is =18 years
* Presence of basilar artery occlusion, proven by CT Angiography or MR Angiography. Basilar artery occlusion is defined as 'potentially retrievable' occlusion at the basilar artery. This can be a partial or complete occlusion.
* Premorbid mRS =3 (independent function or requiring only minor domestic assistance and able to manage alone for at least 1 week).
* Local legal requirements for consent have been satisfied.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
* Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or other diagnosis (e.g. tumour) identified by baseline imaging.
* Posterior circulation Acute Stroke Prognosis Early CT score (pc-ASPECTS) <7 on non-contrast CT, CT Angiography source images or DWI MRI.
* Significant cerebellar mass effect or acute hydrocephalus.
* Established frank hypodensity on non-contrast CT indicating subacute infarction.
* Bilateral extensive brainstem ischemia.
* Strong suspicion of underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease (e.g diffuse arterial calcifications, basilar stenosis) or dissection which may require immediate neuro-interventional procedure with intracranial stenting and not benefit from intravenous thrombolysis at investigator's discretion.
* Pre-stroke mRS of =4 (indicating moderate to severe previous disability).
* Other standard contraindications to intravenous thrombolysis.
* Contraindication to imaging with contrast agents.
* Clinically evident pregnant women.
* Current participation in another research drug treatment protocol.
* Known terminal illness such that the patients would not be expected to survive a year.
* Planned withdrawal of care or comfort care measures.
* Any condition that, in the judgment of the investigator could impose hazards to the patient if study therapy is initiated or affect the participation of the patient in the study.
