Role of Neuroinflammation and Blood-Brain Barrier Breakdown in Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
Role of Neuroinflammation and Blood-Brain Barrier Breakdown in Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
In this prospective, multicenter study of patients with acute spontaneous supratentorial Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH), each participant will have a standardized multimodal evaluation of neuroinflammation at 10 (±2) days after onset including translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) positron emission tomography (PET) using 18F-DPA-714 radioligand, BBB imaging using Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI and a panel of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory plasma biomarkers.
Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) is the most devastating stroke subtype that affects > 3 million people worldwide each year. Despite important efforts and the hope that minimally invasive surgical procedures may offer, there is currently no effective treatment. Perihematomal edema - a surrogate marker of neuroinflammation - has emerged as important contributors to poor functional outcome following acute ICH, and a potential treatment target. Innovative techniques have been developed to image and measure neuroimmune response (TSPO PET) and BBB integrity (DCE-MRI). These novel methods have been poorly studied in ICH. The effects of in vivo perihematomal neuroinflammation on the functional outcome of patients with acute ICH is widely unknown.
The present study is a prospective, multicenter study of patients with acute spontaneous supratentorial ICH (within 48h after onset). Each participant will have a standardized multimodal evaluation of neuroinflammation at 10 days after onset including TSPO PET using 18F-DPA-714 radioligand, BBB imaging using DCE-MRI and a panel of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory plasma biomarkers.
In hospital follow up visit will occur at 14 days and end of follow up visit at 180 days. Functional outcome will be assessed by modified Rankin scale (mRS), which is a widely used and validated scale - ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death) - to evaluate the functional outcome following ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes.
