Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Objective: The secondary outcome measures are the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) parameters of inflammation, quality of life (QoL), functional, and cognitive outcomes, and the presence and volume of cerebral infarction;Primary end point(s): The primary outcome measure is biological effectivity determined by the concentration of C5a in CSF. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: -48-72 hours after ictus ;Main Objective: This study aims to investigate the biological efficacy and safety of eculizumab in patients with aneurysmal SAH. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1) Occurrence of AEs and SAEs up until one month after ictus 2) Blood plasma and CSF parameters of inflammation (e.g. CRP and cytokines); 3) Concentration of eculizumab in blood plasma and CSF; 4) Daily neurological condition during the first fourteen days of the hospital stay measured by Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS); 5) Neurological condition measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS)score fourteen days after ictus; 6) Cerebral infarction on brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at hospital discharge; 7) Cognition and QoL ten weeks (+/- two weeks) after ictus; 8) The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) thirteen weeks (+/- two weeks) after ictus. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1) Four weeks; 2 & 3) Blood plasma during hospital stay at multiple timepoints (on admission and on day 2, 4, 6, 9, 12 and 14). CSF 48-72 hours after ictus; 4) Daily during the first fourteen days of the hospital stay; 5) On day 14; 6) At discharge; 7) Ten weeks after ictus (+/- two week); 8) Thirteen weeks after ictus (+/- two weeks). | — |
