DAWN TRIAL

• DWI or CTP Assessment with Clinical Mismatch in the

Triage of Wake-Up and Late Presenting Strokes

Undergoing Neurointervention with Trevo

• Published in NEJM on november 2017.

Page 4: Ppt dawn trial

INRODUCTION

• Previous randomized trials that involved patients with

acute stroke showed that endovascular thrombectomy

had a clinical benefit when it was performed within 6

hours after the onset of stroke symptoms .

Page 5: Ppt dawn trial

• Benefit diminished as the interval between the time that

the patient was last known to be well and thrombectomy

increased

Page 6: Ppt dawn trial

• Limited information on the effect of thrombectomy that is

performed more than 6 hours after the time that the

patient was last known to be well, particularly among

patients with ischemic brain tissue that has not yet

undergone infarction and may be salvaged with

reperfusion.

Page 7: Ppt dawn trial

• Patients with brain tissue that may be salvaged with

reperfusion can be identified by the presence of a clinical

deficit that is disproportionately severe relative to the

volume of infarcted tissue on imaging studies

Page 8: Ppt dawn trial

• Hallmark pathophysiological feature predicting a

favourable clinical response to reperfusion therapy is the

presence of mismatch between the volume of infarct and

the total volume of critically hypoperfused brain.

• Believed that the larger the mismatch the greater the

benefit of reperfusion therapy

Page 9: Ppt dawn trial

• Results of previous nonrandomized studies have

suggested that patients who have a mismatch between

the volume of brain tissue that may be salvaged and the

volume of infarcted tissue could benefit from reperfusion

of occluded proximal anterior cerebral vessels, even when

the reperfusion is performed more than 6 hours after the

patient was last known to be well.

Page 10: Ppt dawn trial

PREVIOUS STUDIES

• MR CLEAN TRIAL, 2015

• O.A. Berkhemer et al

Page 11: Ppt dawn trial

• CONCLUSION:

• In patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by a

proximal intracranial occlusion of the anterior circulation,

intraarterial treatment administered within 6 hours after

stroke onset was effective and safe

Page 12: Ppt dawn trial

REVASCAT TRIAL

• T.G. Jovin et al, 2015

• Patients with anterior circulation stroke who could betreated within 8 hours after symptom onset, stent retrieverthrombectomy reduced the severity of post strokedisability and increased the rate of functionalindependence.

Page 13: Ppt dawn trial
Page 14: Ppt dawn trial

• Conclusion:

• Endovascular therapy can be instituted with acceptable

safety beyond 8 hours from time last seen well when

selection is based on advanced neuroimaging. Successful

revascularization is significantly associated with higher

rates of good outcomes.

DAWN TRIAL

• AIMS & OBJECTIVE:

• In the DAWN (DWI or CTP Assessment with Clinical

Mismatch in the Triage of Wake-Up and Late Presenting

Strokes Undergoing Neurointervention with Trevo) trial

Page 16: Ppt dawn trial

Compared endovascular thrombectomy plus standard

medical care with standard medical care alone for the

treatment of patients with acute stroke who had last been

known to be well 6 to 24 hours earlier and who had

mismatch between clinical deficit and infarct.

Page 17: Ppt dawn trial

METHODS

• DAWN trial was a multicenter, prospective, randomized,

open-label trial with a Bayesian adaptive enrichment

design and with blinded assessment of end points

Page 18: Ppt dawn trial

Inclusion Criteria

• Evidence of occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid

artery, the first segment of the middle cerebral artery, or

both on computed tomographic (CT) angiography or

magnetic resonance angiography.

Page 19: Ppt dawn trial

• Trial protocol was approved by the institutional review

board at each participating site.

• Enrolled patients or their surrogates provided written

informed consent.

Page 20: Ppt dawn trial

• Patients had to have a mismatch between the severity of

the clinical deficit and the infarct volume, which was

defined according to the following criteria:

• Group A were 80 years of age or older, had a score of 10

or higher on NIHSS and had an infarct volume of less

than 21 ml.

Page 21: Ppt dawn trial

• Group B were younger than 80 years of age, had a score

of 10 or higher on the NIHSS, and had an infarct volume

of less than 31 ml.

• Group C were younger than 80 years of age, had a score

of 20 or higher on the NIHSS had an infarct volume of 31

to less than 51 ml

Page 22: Ppt dawn trial

• Infarct volume was assessed with the use of DW-MRI,

and was measured with the use of automated software

(RAPID, iSchemiaView).

Page 23: Ppt dawn trial

• No evidence of intracranial hemorrhage on CT or MRI .

• No evidence of an infarct involving more than one third of

the territory of the middle cerebral artery on CT or MRI at

baseline.

Page 24: Ppt dawn trial

• Age of 18 years or older

• An interval between the time that the patient was last

known to be well and randomization of 6 to 24 hours

• Prestroke score of 0 or 1 on the modified Rankin scale

Page 25: Ppt dawn trial
Page 26: Ppt dawn trial
Page 27: Ppt dawn trial

Treatment• Patients were randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio

Thrombectomy plus standard medical care (the

thrombectomy group)

Standard medical care alone (the control group).

Page 28: Ppt dawn trial

• Randomization was performed with the use of a central,

Web-based procedure, with block minimization processes

to balance the two treatment groups .

Page 29: Ppt dawn trial

• Stratified according to-

• Mismatch criteria (Group A, Group B, or Group C),

• Interval between the time that the patient was last known

to be well and (6 to 12 hours or >12 to 24 hours)

• Occlusion site (intracranial internal carotid artery, first

segment of the middle cerebral artery).

Page 30: Ppt dawn trial

• Trial was conducted at 26 centers in the United States,

Canada, Europe, and Australia,

• At least 40 mechanical thrombectomy procedures had

been performed at each center annually.

Page 31: Ppt dawn trial

• Enrolled patients were admitted to stroke units or

intensive care units.

• Patients who had not received intravenous alteplase

could receive therapy with antiplatelet agents, which could

be started within 24 hours after randomization.

Page 32: Ppt dawn trial

• Standard medical care was provided in accordance with

local guidelines.

• Thrombectomy was performed with the use of the Trevo

device (Stryker Neurovascular),a retrievable self-

expanding stent that is used to remove occlusive thrombi

and restore blood flow.

Page 33: Ppt dawn trial
Page 34: Ppt dawn trial

End Points

End points, scores on the modified Rankin scale were

obtained through in person, formal, structured interviews

with patients and caregivers that were performed by local

certified assessors.

Page 35: Ppt dawn trial

• Patients for whom in-person assessment was not

possible, telephone interviews with patients, caregivers,

or both were performed.

Page 36: Ppt dawn trial

Primary outcome

• Primary endpoint for this trial is the 90-day mRS score.

• DAWN analyzes this standard endpoint by converting the

mRS scores into weights that directly reflect patient and

society valuation of outcome health states

Page 37: Ppt dawn trial

• Primary endpoint analysis is a comparison of the

difference between the average weighted mRS score at

90 days post randomization between the active and

control groups

Page 38: Ppt dawn trial
Page 39: Ppt dawn trial
Page 40: Ppt dawn trial

Secondary outcomes

• Efficacy

• Both arms:

• 1).Comparison of the proportion of subjects with a good

functional outcome at 90 days,

• defined as mRS 0–2, between the active and control

groups analyzed as a traditional Fisher test adjusted for

stratification variables.

Page 41: Ppt dawn trial

• 2).Comparison of the proportion of subjects with‘‘early

response’’ at day 5–7/discharge (whichever is earlier)

• -defined as a NIHSS drop of 10 from baseline or NIHSS

score 0 or 1, between the active and control groups

Page 42: Ppt dawn trial

• 3).Difference in all cause mortality rates at 90 days

between the two group.

• 4).Comparison of the median 24 h infarct size at 24 (6/24)

h from randomization, by MRI T2/Flair or CT (if MR is

contraindicated), between the treatment and control

groups

Page 43: Ppt dawn trial

• Treatment arm only:

• Analysis of vessel reperfusion rates (percentages) post

device and post procedure, by angiography core lab

measurement of mTICI2b.

Page 44: Ppt dawn trial

Primary safety outcome

• Both Arms:

• Incidence of stroke-related mortality at 90 days.

Page 45: Ppt dawn trial

Secondary safety outcomes

• Both arms:

• 1. Incidence of SICH, by ECASS III definition within 24

(6/24) h post randomization .

Page 46: Ppt dawn trial

• 2. Incidence of neurological deterioration from baseline

NIHSS score through day 5–7/discharge (whichever is

earlier) post randomization .

• -Neurological deterioration is defined as 4 point increase

in the NIHSS score from the baseline score

Page 47: Ppt dawn trial

Secondary safety outcomes

• Treatment arm only:

• Incidence of procedure related and device related serious

adverse events-

vascular perforation

intramural arterial dissection

embolization to new territory

access site complication requiring surgical repair or

blood transfusion

intra-procedural mortality

device failure (in vivo breakage)

Page 48: Ppt dawn trial
Page 49: Ppt dawn trial

Statistical Analysis

• Adaptive trial design allowed for a sample size ranging

from 150 to 500 patients

• Bayesian posterior probability of heterogeneity

• Fischer Test

• Forest plot

Page 50: Ppt dawn trial

• During interim analyses, the decision to stop or continue

enrollment was based on a prespecified calculation of the

probability that thrombectomy plus standard care would

be superior to standard care alone with respect to the first

primary end point

Page 51: Ppt dawn trial

Results

• Patient Characteristics:

• From September 2014 through February 2017, a total of

206 patients were enrolled in the trial

• 107 were randomly assigned to the thrombectomy group

and 99 to the control group.

Page 52: Ppt dawn trial

• Thrombectomy was performed in 105 of the 107 patients

in the thrombectomy group.

• Ipsilateral carotid angioplasty was performed in 3 of the

107 patients

Page 53: Ppt dawn trial

Discussion

• DAWN trial showed that, patients with stroke due to

occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery or

proximal middle cerebral artery who had last been known

to be well 6 to 24 hours earlier and who had a mismatch

between the severity of the clinical deficit and the infarct

volume-

Page 54: Ppt dawn trial

• Outcomes for disability and functional independence at 90

days were better with thrombectomy plus standard

medical care than with standard medical care alone.

Page 55: Ppt dawn trial

• Benefit of thrombectomy was consistent across

prespecified subgroups that were defined according to

age, stroke severity, occlusion site, time to treatment, and

type of stroke onset

Page 56: Ppt dawn trial
Page 57: Ppt dawn trial
Page 58: Ppt dawn trial

• Endovascular thrombectomy in patients with stroke is

usually performed within 6 hours after the onset of stroke.

Page 59: Ppt dawn trial

• Rate of functional independence in the thrombectomy

group in this trial,( in which patients received treatment 6

to 24 hours after stroke onset)

• Similar to the rate reported in a pooled analysis of five

trials of thrombectomy, In which patients predominantly

received treatment within 6 hours after stroke onset

• 49% and 46%, respectively

Page 60: Ppt dawn trial

• Rate of functional independence in the control group in

this trial was lower than the rate in the control group in the

pooled analysis (13% vs. 26%).

• Worse outcomes in control group were related to the

lower rate of treatment with intravenous alteplase (14% in

DAWN trial vs. 88% in the pooled analysis)

Page 61: Ppt dawn trial

• Patients were enrolled in DAWN trial after the accepted

window of time in which intravenous thrombolytic therapy

is typically administered

Page 62: Ppt dawn trial

LIMITATIONS

• Randomization was stratified according to prognostic

variables that the investigators determined to be most

pertinent in the patient population

• These variables were balanced between the two

treatment groups

Page 63: Ppt dawn trial
Page 64: Ppt dawn trial
Page 65: Ppt dawn trial

Conclusion

• Outcomes for disability were better with thrombectomy

plus standard medical care than with standard medical

care alone

• Among patients with acute stroke who received treatment

6 to 24 hours after they had last been known to be well

Page 66: Ppt dawn trial

• Trial restricted enrollment to patients with infarcts of a

small or medium volume.
