Brief Summary:
A phase III, randomized, multi-center, investigational, open label clinical trial that will examine whether treatment with endovascular thrombectomy is superior to standard medical therapy alone in patients who suffer a Distal Medium Vessel Occlusion Ischemic Stroke within 12 hours from time last seen well
Detailed Description:
DUSK is a Phase-3, prospective, multicenter, investigational, randomized, controlled, open-label study with blinded endpoint evaluation (PROBE design) and an adaptive design with population enrichment. The randomization employs a 1:1 ratio of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) versus standard medical management (SMM) in patients who suffer a distal medium vessel occlusion (DMVO) stroke within 12 hours from time last seen well (TLSW) and have evidence of salvageable brain tissue on perfusion imaging. Randomization will be done under a minimization process using age (≤67 vs. \>67 years), baseline NIHSS (≤12 vs. \>12), use of IV thrombolysis (none vs. within 120 minutes from randomization vs. \> 120 minutes from randomization), site of occlusion (M2 vs. M3 vs. ACA vs. PCA), baseline infarct volume (≤15mL vs. \>15-30mL vs. \>30-50mL), perfusion mismatch volume (≤15mL vs. \>15-30mL vs. \>30-50mL), therapeutic window (0-4.5 vs. 4.5-8 or \>9-12 hours after TLKW), and participating site. The candidate enriched populations that the trial considers are based on use of intravenous thrombolysis (none vs. within 120 minutes from randomization vs. \> 120 minutes from randomization), TLKW to randomization (0-6 vs. 6-12 hours) and mismatch volumes as measured using absolute mismatch (defined as Tmax\>6 sec - DWI lesion on MRI or Tmax\>6 sec -rCBF\<30% lesion on CTP) (\>40 cc vs. \>30cc vs. \>20cc vs. \>10cc). The primary endpoint will be a categorical shift across all levels on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90-days post-randomization. The hypothesis is that EVT will lead to an improved clinical outcome at 90 days. Interim analysis will be performed after the primary endpoint is available for a total of 386 randomized patients.
