KETA
Brief Summary:
KETA trial is a nonprofit, double-blind, randomized, controlled pilot trial with aiming to determine if co-administration of ketamine with recombinant of tissue type plasminogen activator (tPA) for thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke compared with tPA co-administered with placebo, decreases cerebral infarction growth in diffusion weighted imaging between admission and day 1. Eligibility applies to patients with symptomatic ischemic stroke seen within 4.5 h of onset with middle cerebral artery or distal internal carotid artery occlusion, no contraindication to intravenous tPA-mediated thrombolysis and eligible to endovascular treatment of stroke (i.e. thrombectomy). The study has been designed to have 80% power to detect a 80% decrease of infarct volume growth in the tPA-ketamine group at a two-sided type I error rate of 5%. For this purpose, at least 25 patients per arm should be enrolled.
Detailed Description:
Rationale - Tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) is a double-sided molecule, with beneficial effect in acute ischemic stroke due to its intravascular fibrinolytic activity but with potential deleterious effect due to its ability to potentiate neuronal N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor signalling (Nicole et al., 2001). Co-administration of sub-anesthetic dose of ketamine - a non-competitive inhibitor of NMDA receptor - was shown to improve efficacy of tPA-mediated thrombolysis following stroke in rodents (Gakuba et al, 2011).
Aims - To assess efficacy and safety of co-administration of ketamine with tPA compared with tPA-placebo infusion in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
Sample size estimates -With 25 patients per group, the trial has a 80% probability of detecting a 80% decrease of infarct volume growth in the tPA-ketamine group compared with the tPA-placebo group on day 1 after admission at a two-sided type I error rate of 5%.
Study outcomes - The primary efficacy outcome is cerebral infarction growth on diffusion weighted imaging between admission and day 1. The primary safety measure is mortality and/or symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage rate at 3 months.
