Study population Objective Design Sample size Randomized Trial Of Revascularization With Solitaire FR Device Versus Best Medical Therapy In The Treatment Of Acute Stroke Due To Anterior Circulation Large Vessel Occlusion Presenting Within 8 Hours Of Symptom Onset Fundacio Ictus Malaltia Vascular, Barcelona, Spain Fundacia Ictus Malaltia Vascular ( by means of unrestricted grant from Covidien) Solitaire FR device Best medical therapy (includes iv t-pa in eligible patients) Subjects presenting with acute ischemic stroke within 8 hours from symptom onset with absence of large core (ASPECTS based), NIHSS >5 and whose strokes are attributable to an occlusion of the internal carotid or proximal MCA (M1) arteries. Subjects age 18-80* are either ineligible for IV alteplase or have received IV alteplase therapy without recanalization. To evaluate the hypothesis that mechanical embolectomy with the Solitaire FR device is superior to medical management alone in achieving favourable outcome in the distribution of the modified Rankin Scale scores at 90 days in subjects presenting with acute large vessel ischemic stroke < 8 hours from symptom onset. Multicenter, prospective, randomized 1:1, open-label study with blinded evaluation. Sequential design with three pre- planned interim analyses. Sample size was projected to be a maximum of 690 patients for a difference in treatment effect of 10%. Study terminated after first interim analysis (n=174) due to loss of equipoise. * After 160 pts amendment to include age 81-85 with ASPECTS > 8
Primary efficacy endpoint Distribution of the modified Rankin Scale scores at 90 days as evaluated by two separate certified assessors masked to treatment: STAIR, 2015 Washington, DC Molina C et al. Int J Stroke 2014
METHODS Evaluation of mrs scores at 90 days Local evaluation Central blinded evaluation - Face-to-face interview - Certified local neurologist - Blinded to treatment assignment - Structured interview First trial half: one certified nurse by structured phone interview to the patient/relative. Second trial half (after protocol amendment): one expert neurologist looking at video recording of the local face-to-face interview Video recordings were transferred via FTP to the external assessor in a blinded fashion STAIR, 2015 Washington, DC 7
