Background Soluble complement receptor-1 (sCR1), a potent complement inhibitor, confers neuroprotection in a murine stroke model. Additional neuroprotective benefit is achieved by sLe(x)-glycosylation of sCR1. In an effort to translate sCR1-sLe(x) to clinical trials, we evaluated this agent in a primate stroke model.Methods Adult male baboons randomly received either sCR1-sLe(x) or vehicle. Stroke volume was assessed on day 3, and neurological examinations were conducted daily. Complement activity (CH50) was measured at 30 minute, 2, 6, 12 hour, 3, and 10 days post-ischemia.Results The experiment was terminated prematurely following an interim analysis. In a preliminary cohort (n = 3 per arm), infarct volume was greater in the treated animals. No difference in neurological score was found between groups. CH50 levels were significantly reduced in the sCR1sLe(x)-treated groups. A hypotensive response was also observed in animals treated with sCR1-sLe(x).Conclusions Further work is necessary to explain the hypotensive response observed in primates prior to further clinical development of sCR1-sLe(x).
