Résumé

Collateral circulation may modify the effect of neuroprotective therapies. We report a post hoc analysis of the URICO-ICTUS trial (NCT00860366) assessing the modifying treatment effect of pretreatment collaterals on clinical and radiological outcomes in patients with large-vessel acute ischemic stroke receiving uric acid therapy or placebo. URICO-ICTUS was a randomized clinical trial where 411 alteplase-treated patients also received uric acid 1,000 mg (n = 211) or placebo (n = 200) before the end of alteplase infusion. Herein, we included a nested study of 84 patients (placebo = 40, uric acid = 44) who had a pretreatment CT-angiography (CTA) showing a proximal arterial occlusion in the carotid territory. Excellent collaterals were defined as 100% collateral supply on pretreatment CTA. Regression models assessed the interaction between therapy (uric acid/placebo) and collaterals on the main outcome (ordinal modified Rankin Scale [mRS] shift at 90 days). Overall, excellent collaterals were associated with improved outcome. There was a significant interaction between therapy and pretreatment collaterals (p interaction = 0.02) for the prediction of improved mRS shift. The largest treatment contrast in favor of uric acid was found in patients with excellent collaterals (adjusted OR 9.2; 95% CI 1.23-68.6; p = 0.03). Collectively, the study found that collaterals were associated with the neuroprotective effect of uric acid therapy highlighting the importance of assessing collateral status in neuroprotection trials.

BACKGROUND
Collateral circulation may modify the effect of neuroprotective therapies. We report a post hoc analysis of the URICO-ICTUS trial (NCT00860366) assessing the modifying treatment effect of pretreatment collaterals on clinical and radiological outcomes in patients with large-vessel acute ischemic stroke receiving uric acid therapy or placebo.
METHODS
URICO-ICTUS was a randomized clinical trial where 411 alteplase-treated patients also received uric acid 1,000 mg (n = 211) or placebo (n = 200) before the end of alteplase infusion. Herein, we included a nested study of 84 patients (placebo = 40, uric acid = 44) who had a pretreatment CT-angiography (CTA) showing a proximal arterial occlusion in the carotid territory. Excellent collaterals were defined as 100% collateral supply on pretreatment CTA. Regression models assessed the interaction between therapy (uric acid/placebo) and collaterals on the main outcome (ordinal modified Rankin Scale [mRS] shift at 90 days).
RESULTS
Overall, excellent collaterals were associated with improved outcome. There was a significant interaction between therapy and pretreatment collaterals (p interaction = 0.02) for the prediction of improved mRS shift. The largest treatment contrast in favor of uric acid was found in patients with excellent collaterals (adjusted OR 9.2; 95% CI 1.23-68.6; p = 0.03).
CONCLUSIONS
Collectively, the study found that collaterals were associated with the neuroprotective effect of uric acid therapy highlighting the importance of assessing collateral status in neuroprotection trials.
