Abstract
Background: For patients presenting with an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The REACT study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of clazosentan in preventing clinical deterioration due to DCI in patients with aSAH.
Methods: REACT is a prospective, multicenter, randomized phase 3 study that is planned to enroll 400 patients with documented aSAH from a ruptured cerebral aneurysm, randomized 1:1 to 15 mg/hour intravenous clazosentan vs. placebo, in approximately 100 sites and 15 countries. Eligible patients are required to present at hospital admission with CT evidence of significant subarachnoid blood, defined as a thick and diffuse clot that is more than 4 mm in thickness and involves 3 or more basal cisterns. The primary efficacy endpoint is the occurrence of clinical deterioration due to DCI up to 14 days post-study drug initiation. The main secondary endpoint is the occurrence of clinically relevant cerebral infarction at Day 16 post-study drug initiation. Other secondary endpoints include the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) score at Week 12 post-aSAH, dichotomized into poor and good outcome. Radiological results and clinical endpoints are centrally evaluated by independent committees, blinded to treatment allocation. Exploratory efficacy endpoints comprise the assessment of cognition status at 12 weeks and quality of life at 12 and 24 weeks post aSAH.
Discussion: In the REACT study, clazosentan is evaluated on top of standard of care to determine if it reduces the risk of clinical deterioration due to DCI after aSAH. The selection of patients with thick and diffuse clots is intended to assess the benefit/risk profile of clazosentan in a population at high risk of vasospasm-related ischemic complications post-aSAH.
