Poor Outcomes Related to Anterior Extension of Large Hemispheric Infarction: Topographic Analysis of GAMES-RP Trial MRI Scans.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to assess the correlation of lesion location and clinical outcome in patients with large hemispheric infarction (LHI).

Methods

We analyzed admission MRI data from the GAMES-RP trial, which enrolled patients with anterior circulation infarct volumes of 82-300 cm³ within 10 hours of onset. Infarct lesions were segmented and co-registered onto MNI-152 brain space. Voxel-wise general linear models were applied to assess location-outcome correlations after correction for infarct volume as a co-variate.

Results

We included 83 patients with known 3-month modified Rankin scale (mRS). In voxel-wise analysis, there was significant correlation between admission infarct lesions involving the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) territory and its middle cerebral artery (MCA) border zone with both higher 3-month mRS and post-stroke day 3 and 7 National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) total score and arm/leg subscores. Higher NIHSS total scores from admission through poststroke day 2 correlated with left MCA infarcts. In multivariate analysis, ACA territory infarct volume (P = .001) and admission NIHSS (P = .005) were independent predictors of 3-month mRS. Moreover, in a subgroup of 36 patients with infarct lesions involving right MCA-ACA border zone, intravenous (IV) glibenclamide (BIIB093; glyburide) treatment was the only independent predictor of 3-month mRS in multivariate regression analysis (P = .016).

Conclusions

Anterior extension of LHI with involvement of ACA territory and ACA-MCA border zone is an independent predictor of poor functional outcome, likely due to impairment of arm/leg motor function. If confirmed in larger cohorts, infarct topology may potentially help triage LHI patients who may benefit from IV glibenclamide.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:We aimed to determine whether subjects aged ?70 years who were treated with intravenous glyburide (RP-1127; BIIB093; glibenclamide) would have better long-term outcomes than those who received placebo. METHODS:GAMES-RP (Glyburide Advantage in Malignant Edema and Stroke-Remedy Pharmaceuticals) was a prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 2 clinical trial. Eighty-six participants, aged 18 to 80 years, who presented to 18 centers with large hemispheric infarction (baseline diffusion-weighted imaging volumes, 82-300 cm3) randomized within 10 hours of symptom onset were enrolled. In the current exploratory analysis, we included participants aged ?70 years treated with intravenous glyburide (n=35) or placebo (n=30) who met per-protocol criteria. Intravenous glyburide or placebo was administered in a 1:1 ratio. We analyzed 90-day and 12-month mortality, functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale, Barthel Index), and quality of life (EuroQol group 5-dimension). Additional outcomes assessed included blood-brain barrier injury (MMP-9 [matrix metalloproteinase 9]) and cerebral edema (brain midline shift). RESULTS:Participants ?70 years of age treated with intravenous glyburide had lower mortality at all time points (log-rank for survival hazards ratio, 0.34; P=0.04). After adjustment for age, the difference in functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale) demonstrated a trend toward benefit for intravenous glyburide-treated subjects at 90 days (odds ratio, 2.31; P=0.07). Repeated measures analysis at 90 days, 6 months, and 12 months using generalized estimating equations showed a significant treatment effect of intravenous glyburide on the Barthel Index (P=0.03) and EuroQol group 5-dimension (P=0.05). Participants treated with intravenous glyburide had lower plasma levels of MMP-9 (189 versus 376 ng/mL; P<0.001) and decreased midline shift (4.7 versus 9 mm; P<0.001) compared with participants who received placebo. CONCLUSIONS:In this exploratory analysis, participants ?70 years of age with large hemispheric infarction have improved survival after acute therapy with intravenous glyburide.

Project description:ObjectiveIn this secondary analysis of the Glyburide Advantage in Malignant Edema and Stroke (GAMES-RP) Trial, we report the effect of IV glyburide on adjudicated, edema-related endpoints.MethodsBlinded adjudicators assigned designations for hemorrhagic transformation, neurologic deterioration, malignant edema, and edema-related death to patients from the GAMES-RP phase II randomized controlled trial of IV glyburide for large hemispheric infarct. Rates of these endpoints were compared between treatment arms in the per-protocol sample. In those participants with malignant edema, the effects of treatment on additional markers of edema and clinical deterioration were examined.ResultsIn the per-protocol sample, 41 patients received glyburide and 36 received placebo. There was no difference in the frequency of hemorrhagic transformation (n = 24 [58.5%] in IV glyburide vs n = 23 [63.9%] in placebo, p = 0.91) or the incidence of malignant edema (n = 19 [46%] in IV glyburide vs n = 17 [47%] in placebo, p = 0.94). However, treatment with IV glyburide was associated with a reduced proportion of deaths attributed to cerebral edema (n = 1 [2.4%] with IV glyburide vs n = 8 [22.2%] with placebo, p = 0.01). In the subset of patients with malignant edema, those treated with IV glyburide had less midline shift (p < 0.01) and reduced MMP-9 (matrix metalloproteinase 9) levels (p < 0.01). The glyburide treatment group had lower rate of NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) increase of ≥4 during the infusion period (n = 7 [37%] in IV glyburide vs n = 12 [71%] in placebo, p = 0.043), and of change in level of alertness (NIHSS subscore 1a; n = 11 [58%] vs n = 15 [94%], p = 0.016).ConclusionIV glyburide was associated with improvements in midline shift, level of alertness, and NIHSS, and there were fewer deaths attributed to edema. Additional studies of IV glyburide in large hemispheric infarction are warranted to corroborate these findings.Clinicaltrialsgov identifierNCT01794182.Level of evidenceThis study provides Class II evidence that for patients with large hemispheric infarction, IV glyburide improves some edema-related endpoints.

Project description:Background and Purpose- Prior studies have shown a linear relationship between computed tomography (CT)-derived radiodensity and water uptake, or brain edema, within stroke lesions. To test the hypothesis that intravenous glibenclamide (glyburide; BIIB093) reduces ischemic brain water uptake, we quantified the lesional net water uptake (NWU) on serial CT scans from patients enrolled in the phase 2 GAMES-RP Trial (Glyburide Advantage in Malignant Edema and Stroke). Methods- This was a post hoc exploratory analysis of the GAMES-RP study. Noncontrast CT scans performed between admission and day 7 (n=264) were analyzed in the GAMES-RP modified intention-to-treat sample. Quantitative change in CT radiodensity (ie, NWU) and midline shift (MLS) was measured. The gray and white matter NWU were also examined separately. Repeated-measures mixed-effects models were used to assess the effect of intravenous glibenclamide on MLS or NWU. Results- A median of 3 CT scans (interquartile range, 2-4) were performed per patient during the first 7 days after stroke. In a repeated-measures regression model, greater NWU was associated with increased MLS (β=0.23; 95% CI, 0.20-0.26; P<0.001). Treatment with intravenous glibenclamide was associated with reduced NWU (β=-2.80; 95% CI, -5.07 to -0.53; P=0.016) and reduced MLS (β=-1.50; 95% CI, -2.71 to -0.28; P=0.016). Treatment with intravenous glibenclamide reduced both gray and white matter water uptake. In mediation analysis, gray matter NWU (β=0.15; 95% CI, 0.11-0.20; P<0.001) contributed to a greater proportion of MLS mass effect, as compared with white matter NWU (β=0.08; 95% CI, 0.03-0.13; P=0.001). Conclusions- In this phase 2 post hoc analysis, intravenous glibenclamide reduced both water accumulation and mass effect after large hemispheric infarction. This study demonstrates NWU is a quantitative and modifiable biomarker of ischemic brain edema accumulation. Clinical Trial Registration- URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
