Clinical Trial Summary

To investigate the effect of levcromakalim/placebo infusion on cranial arteries after glibenclamide administration.

Description:

15 healthy participants will randomly be allocated to receive levcromakalim or placebo on to different days before and after oral glibenclamide administration.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of levcromakalim/placebo infusion on cranial arteries before and after glibenclamide administration.

Repeated magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) measurements covering the middle meningeal artery (MMA), superficial temporal artery (STA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) before and after glibenclamide administration and levcromakalim/placebo infusion.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Changes in the middle meningeal artery (MMA), superficiel temporal artery (STA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA)	Repeated MRA measurements covering the diameter of MMA , STA and MCA before and after glibenclamide administration and levcromakalim/placebo infusion measured by centimeter (cm)	Time of measurements is baseline, 1 hour after glibenclamide administration, 2 hour after glibenclamide administration, 20 minutes after levcromakalim infusion, 60 min after levcromakalim infusion
Primary	Changes in Cerebral blood flow	Repeated MRA measurements covering the blood flow before and after glibenclamide administration and levcromakalim/placebo infusion measured by centimeter (cm)/minutes	Time of measurements is baseline, 1 hour after glibenclamide administration, 2 hour after glibenclamide administration, 20 minutes after levcromakalim infusion, 60 min after levcromakalim infusion
Primary	Headache	Headache intensity will be recorded by numerical rating scale (NRS) from 0 to 10 (0, no headache; 1, a feeling of pressure; 10, worst imaginable headache).	Time of headache measurements is from before (-10 min) and after (12 hours) glibenclamide administration.
