Prehospital Initiation of Reperfusion Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke: Randomized Medico-economic Evaluation of a Mobile Stroke Unit.


Sponsor

Centre Hospitalier St Anne

Enrollment

450 participants

Start Date

Oct 16, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

ASPHALT is an academic-driven open-label randomized controlled trial of Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) deployment versus standard care in France, with blinded assessment of efficacy endpoints. 450 patients with confirmed acute ischemic stroke will be recruited over a 3-year period, with 3-month follow-up.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria6

  • Emergency call to one of the two following emergency medical service (EMS) dispatch centers : SAMU (Service d'Aide Médicale Urgente) or BSPP (Brigade des Sapeurs Pompiers de Paris), between 08:00 and 18:00, 5 days a week (Monday to Friday).
  • Suspected acute stroke according to a dispatcher stroke identification algorithm, adapted from the ROSIER scale
  • Symptom onset-to-randomization time ≤ 6h
  • Patient located within the predefined catchment area of the MSU
  • MSU available at the time of the EMS call
  • Informed consent (as approved by the ethics committee, informed consent will be obtained after randomization: at the arrival of the MSU (intervention group), or at hospital arrival (control group))

Exclusion Criteria9

  • Patient confined to be more than 50% of waking hours
  • Unknown or uncertain onset time (e.g. wake-up stroke)
  • Medical history of epilepsy
  • Recent epileptic seizure (<12 hrs)
  • Suspicion of pregnancy

Interventions

OTHERMobile Stroke Unit deployment

Deployment of an MSU + conventional ambulance, allowing prehospital CT-scan imaging with intracranial CT angiography. This will allow prehospital intravenous thrombolysis and optimal triage (i.e. accurate identification of patients with large vessel occlusion, who are eligible for mechanical thrombectomy).
