The primary objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of enrolling, evaluating, and treating with glyburide for injection severe anterior circulation ischemic stroke participants, whether or not treated with standard of care intravenous (IV) recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA). Participants must be between 18-80 years of age, must have a baseline diffusion weighted image (DWI) lesion volume 82 -210 centimeters cubed (cm3), and time from symptom onset to start of study infusion must be ≤10 hour(hr). The secondary objectives are to assess the initial safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) /pharmacodynamics (PD) of glyburide in severe stroke participants, as well as to compare the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcome data to benchmark data derived from published literature.
NCT05713916
The electronic health record contains vast amounts of cardiovascular data, including potential clues that an individual may have unrecognized cardiac conditions. One important example is the finding of thickened heart muscle -- known as left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) -- on echocardiograms (heart ultrasounds). If the underlying cause of LVH is untreated, individuals are at an increased risk of developing more severe pathology. As the most common cause of LVH, hypertension and its downstream consequences account for more cardiovascular deaths than any other modifiable risk factor. Critically, many individuals have signs of cardiac damage from hypertension before it is diagnosed or treated. Despite this evidence, there are often gaps in healthcare delivery that contribute to substandard recognition and treatment. Thus, there is an urgent need to validate alternative cost-effective screening and intervention strategies. Echocardiograms are ordered by many specialties and for numerous indications. Even when LVH is reported, the finding may be underappreciated and not prompt further evaluation. Whether data from prior echocardiograms can be harnessed to improve patient care through a centralized intervention is unknown. Accordingly, the goal of this randomized pragmatic clinical trial is to study the impact of a centralized clinical support pathway on the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension and the recognition of LVH-associated diseases in individuals with evidence of thickened heart muscle on previously performed echocardiograms.
