Patent Foramen Ovale and Cryptogenic Stroke: The Hole Story Emerging Therapy Critiques
Despite 3 recent randomized clinical trials, the management of patients with cryptogenic stroke and patent foramen ovale remains unsettled. The primary results of Evaluation of the STARFlex Septal Closure System in Patients with a Stroke and/or Transient Ischemic Attack due to Presumed Paradoxical Embolism Through a Patent Foramen Ovale (CLOSURE), Percutaneous Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale in Cryptogenic Stroke (PC), and Randomized Evaluation of Recurrent Stroke Comparing PFO Closure to Established Current Standard of Care Treatment (RESPECT) were the same; the intent to treat analysis for the primary end point in all 3 ...

The Case for Selective Patent Foramen Ovale Closure After Cryptogenic Stroke Advances in Interventional Cardiology
Controversy has persisted for over a decade whether transcatheter patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure reduces the rate of recurrent ischemic stroke for patients who have had a cryptogenic ischemic stroke and have a PFO. In September 2017, 3 positive randomized trials: RESPECT long-term (Recurrent Stroke Comparing PFO Closure to Established Current Standard of Care Treatment trial), REDUCE (GORE® HELEX® Septal Occluder / GORE® CARDIOFORM Septal Occluder and Antiplatelet Medical Management for Reduction of Recurrent Stroke or Imaging-Confirmed TIA in Patients With Patent Foramen Ovale [PFO]), and CLOSE (Patent For...

Enhanced phasic GABA inhibition during the repair phase of stroke: a novel therapeutic target
Ischaemic stroke is the leading cause of severe long-term disability yet lacks drug therapies that promote the repair phase of recovery. This repair phase of stroke occurs days to months after stroke onset and involves brain remapping and plasticity within the peri-infarct zone. Elucidating mechanisms that promote this plasticity is critical for the development of new therapeutics with a broad treatment window. Inhibiting tonic (extrasynaptic) GABA signalling during the repair phase was reported to enhance functional recovery in mice suggesting that GABA plays an important function in modulating brain repair. While tonic G...

IV tPA for acute ischemic stroke: Times are changing
Based on evidence that the administration of IV tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) improved the outcomes of selected patients with acute ischemic stroke, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved its use for this purpose in 1996, leading to a revolution in stroke care.1 Following its introduction into routine clinical practice, stroke began to be viewed as a medical emergency, similar to myocardial infarction, with effective treatment dependent or early symptom recognition and patient transport to facilities capable of conducting rapid evaluations and IV tPA administration. There were, however, considerable barrie...

Recycled Translation: Repurposing Drugs for Stroke
AbstractStroke, which continues to be a leading cause of death and long-term disability worldwide, has often been described as a clinical graveyard. While multiple small molecule therapeutics have undergone clinical trials in stroke, currently only one Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medication exists for the treatment of stroke, the biological, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA). Repurposing of therapeutics which have previously gained FDA approval for alternative indications serves as a prospective option for stroke therapeutic translation. In contrast to de novo drug development, repurposing st...

IV tissue plasminogen activator use in acute stroke: What are neurologists thinking?
Stroke remains among the top 4 causes of death in the United States and, despite advances in inpatient care and rehabilitation, the leading cause of severe disability. Furthermore, despite being a proven effective therapy, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) use remains dramatically low, in ~2% of all stroke patients in a community setting.1 In this issue of Neurology®, Shamy2 addresses the use of tPA in appropriate clinical settings and neurologists' rationale for their decisions. Given the mortality and morbidity associated with stroke, the data for substantial benefit with tPA use, and Food and Drug Administration ap...

Re-evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Human Urinary Kallidinogenase (RESK): Protocol for an Open-Label, Single-Arm, Multicenter Phase IV Trial for the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Chinese Patients
AbstractAcute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a major medical challenge in China. Thrombolytic drugs recommended for the treatment of AIS usually have a narrow time window. Human urinary kallidinogenase (HUK) was approved by the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) in 2005 for the treatment of mild to moderate AIS, and it is thus widely used in China. However, large-scale clinical study data for a more complete understanding of various aspects of its safety and efficacy characteristics are still unavailable. The ongoing Reevaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Human Urinary Kallidinogenase (RESK) trial is designed to reevaluate...

A call for formal telemedicine training during stroke fellowship
During the 20 years since US Food and Drug Administration approval of IV tissue plasminogen activator for acute ischemic stroke, vascular neurology consultation via telemedicine has contributed to an increased frequency of IV tissue plasminogen activator administration and broadened geographic access to the drug. Nevertheless, a growing demand for acute stroke coverage persists, with the greatest disparity found in rural communities underserved by neurologists. To provide efficient and consistent acute care, formal training in telemedicine during neurovascular fellowship is warranted. Herein, we describe our experiences in...

Study Of Brain Cooling And Clot-Busting Drug Therapy For Stroke Receives FDA OK To Expand
An international multicenter clinical trial led by a Cedars-Sinai neurologist on the combination of brain cooling and "clot-busting" drug therapy after stroke has received Food and Drug Administration approval to expand from 50 patients to 400. � "This approval is highly significant because, after reviewing our initial safety data, the Food and Drug Administration approved us to include more patients in our study," said Patrick D. Lyden, MD, chair of the Department of Neurology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the study's overall principal investigator...
