A phase III, randomized, multi-center, investigational, open label clinical trial that will examine whether treatment with endovascular thrombectomy is superior to standard medical therapy alone in patients who suffer a Distal Medium Vessel Occlusion Ischemic Stroke within 12 hours from time last seen well
DUSK is a Phase-3, prospective, multicenter, investigational, randomized, controlled, open-label study with blinded endpoint evaluation (PROBE design) and an adaptive design with population enrichment. The randomization employs a 1:1 ratio of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) versus standard medical management (SMM) in patients who suffer a distal medium vessel occlusion (DMVO) stroke within 12 hours from time last seen well (TLSW) and have evidence of salvageable brain tissue on perfusion imaging. Randomization will be done under a minimization process using age (≤67 vs. \>67 years), baseline N…
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years (no upper age limit) 2. Acute ischemic stroke where patient is ineligible for or has failed\* IV thrombolytic treatment and is ineligible for endovascular treatment under best guideline-based care due to absence of proximal arterial occlusion (e.g. intracranial ICA, MCA-M1 and co-dominant or dominant M2\*\* segments, and vertebrobasilar arteries).\*\*\* \* IV thrombolytic treatment failure is defined by persistent disabling neurological deficits beyond 60 minutes of completion of thrombolytic infusion in the presence of imaging findings consistent with…
The AXS Catalyst Distal Access Catheter is indicated for use in facilitating the insertion and guidance of appropriately sized interventional devices into a selected blood vessel in the peripheral and neurovascular systems, and is also indicated for use as a conduit for retrieval devices. The AXS Vecta Intermediate Catheter, as part of the AXS Vecta Aspiration System, is indicated in the revascularization of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Patients who are ineligible for intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) or who failed IV t-PA therapy are candidates for treatment. The Trevo® Retriever is indicated for use to restore blood flow in the neurovasculature by removing thrombus for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke to reduce disability in patients with a persistent, proximal anterior circulation, large vessel occlusion, and smaller core infarcts who have first received intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA).
All subjects should receive the best standard medical therapy based on current AHA guidelines. Subjects randomized to standard medical management (SMM) will receive standard medical therapy only based on the guidelines. All subjects are expected to be admitted to hospital as part of routine best guideline-based care and treated on a stroke unit or neurointensive care unit or equivalent.
