Human albumin has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in animal models of cerebral ischemia and humans with various intracranial pathologies. We investigated the safety and tolerability of 25% human albumin (ALB) in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The ALISAH (Albumin in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage) Pilot Clinical Trial was an open-label, dose-escalation study. We intended to study 4 different dosages of ALB of increasing magnitude (0.625 g/kg: tier 1; 1.25 g/kg: tier 2; 1.875 g/kg: tier 3; and 2.5 g/kg: tier 4). Each dosage was to be given to 20 adult patients. Treatment was administered daily for 7 days. We investigated the maximum tolerated dose of ALB based on the rate of severe-to-life-threatening heart failure and anaphylactic reaction, and functional outcome at 3 months. We treated 47 adult subjects: 20 in tier 1; 20 in tier 2; and 7 in tier 3. We found that doses ranging up to 1.25 g/kg/day × 7 days were tolerated by patients without major dose-limiting complications. We also found that outcomes trended towards better responses in those subjects enrolled in tier 2 compared to tier 1 (OR: 3.0513; CI: 0.6586 – 14.1367) and to the International Intra-operative Hypothermia for Aneurysm Surgery Trial cohort (OR: 3.1462; CI: 0.9158 – 10.8089). ALB in doses ranging up to 1.25 g/Kg/day × 7 days was tolerated by patients with SAH without major complications and may be neuroprotective. Based on these results, planning of the ALISAH II, a Phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to test the efficacy of ALB is underway.
