Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is a potent neuroprotectant approved for cerebral protection after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia and cardiac arrest. TH for acute ischemic stroke is safe and feasible in pilot trials. We designed a study protocol to provide safer, faster TH in stroke patients. Safety procedures and 4°C saline infusions for faster cooling were added to the Intravascular Cooling Treatment in Acute Stroke (ICTuS) trial protocol. A femoral venous intravascular cooling catheter following intravenous rt-PA in eligible patients provided 24 hours cooling followed by a 12 hour re-warm. Serial safety assessments and imaging were performed. The primary endpoint was 3-month modified Rankin score 0,1. Of the intended 1600 subjects, 120 were enrolled before the study was stopped. Randomly, 63 were to receive hypothermia (HY) plus anti-shivering treatment and 57 normothermia (NT). Compared to prior studies, cooling rates were improved with a cold saline bolus, without fluid overload. The intention-to-treat primary outcome of 90-day mRS 0,1 occurred in 33% HY and 38% NT subjects, OR (95% CL) of 0.81 (0.36, 1.85). Serious adverse events occurred equally. Mortality was 15.9% HY and 8.8% NT subjects, OR (95% CL) of 1.95 (0.56, 7.79). Pneumonia occurred in 19% HY vs. 10.5% in NT subjects, OR (95% CL) of 1.99 (0.63, 6.98). Intravascular TH was confirmed to be safe and feasible in rt-PA treated acute ischemic stroke patients. Protocol changes designed to reduce pneumonia risk appeared to fail, although the sample is small. clinicaltrials.gov NCT 01123161.
