项目摘要

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is the leading cause of adult disability. Reperfusion therapies are the only FDA approved treatments for AIS but are limited because of narrow therapeutic time windows. We believe a highly promising approach to develop new stroke treatments is to initiate a neuroprotective agent early after stroke onset to reduce infarct progression before, or at the time of, reperfusion therapy. Our group has found that the IL-6 receptor blocker tocilizumab, (an FDA approved medication used for rheumatoid arthritis) is profoundly neuroprotective in reducing infarct volume and improving neurological outcome in rodent models of stroke in males and females and in aged animals. The primary objective of this proposal is to determine if tocilizumab can indeed slow infarct progression and extend the therapeutic window for reperfusion therapy using IV t-PA in a highly clinically relevant thromboembolic model and in a suture model that could be applied as a surrogate of the mechanical thrombectomy (MT) (Specific Aim 2). In order to design a clinical trial to test the efficacy of thrombectomy, we will then determine if tocilizumab can extend the therapeutic window of t-PA and MT in various clinically relevant models that simulate clinical risk factors for stroke incidence and severity. These models include advanced age, hypertension, diabetes, and will examine both sexes (Specific Aim 3). Assuming we will be asked to join the Stroke Preclinical Assessment Network (SPAN) to test tocilizumab as part of the consortium effort, we will begin initial communications with the other centers recruited to SPAN to establish optimal approaches to evaluate other candidate drugs (Specific Aim 3). We will certainly be willing to participate and use our many years of expertise in translational stroke research to evaluate other treatment candidates as part of the SPAN activities.

急性缺血性中风（AIS）是成人残疾的主要原因。再灌注疗法是AIS的唯一FDA批准的治疗方法，但由于治疗时间范围狭窄而受到限制。我们认为，开发新中风疗法的一种高度有希望的方法是在中风发作后尽早启动神经保护剂，以减少再灌注疗法之前或时期的梗塞进展。我们的小组发现，IL-6受体阻滞剂Tocilizumab（用于类风湿关节炎的FDA批准的药物）在减少梗塞体积和改善男性和女性啮齿动物模型中神经学结果方面具有深刻的神经保护作用。该提案的主要目的是确定Tocilizumab是否确实可以缓慢梗死进展，并扩展使用IV T-PA在高度临床相关的血栓栓塞模型中使用IV T-PA进行再灌注疗法的治疗窗口，并在缝合模型中可以用作机械术（MT）的替代物（特定目标2）。为了设计临床试验以测试血栓切除术的功效，我们将确定Tocilizumab在各种临床相关模型中是否可以扩展T-PA和MT的治疗窗口，以模拟中风发生率和严重性的临床风险因素。这些模型包括高龄，高血压，糖尿病，并将检查两性（特定目标3）。假设我们将被要求加入中风临床前评估网络（SPAN）作为财团工作的一部分测试Tocilizumab，我们将开始与招募的其他中心进行初始通信，以建立评估其他候选药物的最佳方法（特定目标3）。我们当然愿意参与并利用我们多年的专业知识在翻译中风研究中，以评估其他治疗候选者作为SPAN活动的一部分。
