Clinical Trial Summary

A randomized, open-labeled, blank-controlled and prospective trial meant to evaluate the use of glibenclamide on acute aneurysmatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Patients will allocated randomly in two groups, one for 3.75 mg daily intake of glibenclamide for 7 days and another as a blank contrast. General clinical data and late cognitive status will be accessed in both groups.

Description:

The study is a open-labeled, blank-controlled, prospective and randomized clinical trial, conducted at Tiantan Hospital and Tongren Hospital, affiliated with the Capital Medical University. Patients will be recruited from intensive care units. Appropriate ethics and regulatory approvals will be sought for all subjects, according to the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines for good clinical practice (ICH GCP). Investigators will obtain informed written consent from all patients or their legal representative. Recruitment will take place between 2021 and 2022. Patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either glibenclamide 3.75mg or blank contrast. A computer-generated randomization code will be used to randomize patients. Patients will start treatment as soon as possible within 48 h of the stroke, with a daily dose till the 7 days after the recruitment. Trial medication consisted of one and a half pieces of tablet a day, given orally or via a nasogastric tube. Aneurysm treatment, either by microsurgery or embolization, will be performed as soon as possible, according with the standard of care for the recruiting center. Nimodipine 60mg, every six hours, will be started on admission and continued till two weeks later, in all patients as standard of care. Patient's demographics, medical history and relevant investigation results will be collected. The severity of the hemorrhage will be clinically assessed by World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grading scale and radiologically using the modified Fischer scale. At 90 days of follow up patients will be interviewed with modified Rankin scale (mRS) questionnaire (a scale that measures degree of incapacity/ dependence and mortality after neurological events) by a physician with no knowledge of treatment allocation. The main hypothesis is that, once compared with standard of care, glibenclamide 3.75mg will provide better clinical outcome and additionally will decrease mortality and improve quality of life and cognitive performance after 90 days. Sample size: Previous studies have shown that the NSE mean for the third day after subarachnoid hemorrhage is 21 ng/ml, the standard deviation is about 3 ng/ml, and the third day NSE in patients with a good prognosis group is about 19 ng/ml, and the standard deviation is about 3 ng/ml; according to the two-sided test, significance of 5%, two groups of equal number of people, 90% of the degree of certainty, the calculation of the sample size of 98 cases, assuming 10% of the loss of visits, the total sample size is expected to be 110 cases.
