Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of IV administration of the P2Y12 inhibitor (cangrelor) in addition to mecanich thrombectomy and WMD versus mecanich thrombectomy and WMD alone on the functional prognosis at 3 months, in patients with acute ischemic stroke eligible for mecanich thrombectomy on the basis of infusion imaging between 0 and 24 hours after the onset of symptoms.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The emergent reperfusion of the ischemic penumbra is the goal of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treatment. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) may be proposed up to 6 hours and from 6 to 24 hours after stroke onset if multimodal imaging demonstrates the presence of a substantial ischemic penumbra.

Despite the major benefit associated with MT, more than half of patients will remain disabled at 3 months. The rate of complete reperfusion after MT appears to be a major factor affecting functional outcome. However, this rate of complete reperfusion is only achieved in 50 % of the patients due to, at least in part, distal microcirculatory impairment and or erratic emboli.

In coronary artery disease, new antiplatelet agents, with a very short half-life, such as P2Y12 inhibitors (P2Y12I), have been shown to reduce in-stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction and death. The IV route for P2Y12 inhibitors administration is adapted to the stroke population who has frequently dysphagia that prevents per os drug administration. In addition, the very short half-life of the drug is quite interesting for the management of hemorrhagic complications or emergent surgical interventions and early antithrombotic secondary prevention initiation.

Hypothesis: subgroup of patients treated from 0 to 24 hours after onset with a demonstrated ischemic penumbra on perfusion imaging, the administration of P2Y12I in addition to MT and best medical management (BMM) may increase reperfusion rates and improve functional outcome compared to MT with BMM alone.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cangrelor group

treated by P2Y12 inhibitor (cangrelor) in addition to MT and BMM. The dose of cangrelor will be started with a 30 micrograms/kg IV bolus over 1 minute right after randomization and before MT. The bolus will be immediately followed with 4 micrograms/kg/min IV infusion for the duration of MT up to 4 hours. Cangrelor infusion will be stopped at the end of the MT procedure and will not go further 4 hours. Transition to oral antiplatelet therapy will be possible 1 hour after cangrelor infusion discontinuation. No other anti-thrombotic drug is authorized during cangrelor infusion. MT technique choice is left to the investigator decision.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cangrelor

Intervention Type DRUG

administration of cangrolor by iv befor thrombectomy

Best medical management group

treated by BMM associated to MT. Anti-thrombotic including alteplase are authorized if they follow the recommendations of the international guidelines. If alteplase infusion is given, no other anti-thrombotic drug is allowed for the following 24 hours. MT technique choice is left to the choice of the investigator.
