Background
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has been linked to focal reductions in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and microvascular impairments in oxygen delivery. Effective therapies that restore flow and oxygen transport to vulnerable brain regions are currently lacking. SANGUINATE is a dual-action carbon monoxide-releasing and hemoglobin-based oxygen transfer agent with efficacy in animal models of focal brain ischemia and tolerability in patients with sickle cell disease.
Methods
We performed a safety and proof-of-principle study in 12 SAH patients at risk of DCI across three escalating doses (160, 240, and 320 mg/kg). We used 15O-PET (performed at baseline, after SANGUINATE and at 24 h) to evaluate efficacy for improving CBF and restoring flow–metabolism balance (assessed by oxygen extraction fraction [OEF]) to vulnerable regions (defined as baseline OEF ≥ 0.50).
Results
SANGUINATE resulted in a transient rise in mean arterial pressure (116 ± 15–127 ± 13 mm Hg, p = 0.001) that normalized by 24 h and allowed three patients with DCI to be weaned off vasopressors. No adverse events were noted during infusion. Global CBF did not rise (43 ± 8–46 ± 9 ml/100 g/min) although a trend was seen at the highest dose (45 ± 7–51 ± 9, p = 0.044). However, a significant 16% rise in regional CBF associated with reduction in OEF was seen in vulnerable regions, but did not persist at 24 h.
Conclusions
We demonstrated that this novel agent can improve regional CBF and may improve oxygen supply–demand balance. Clinical studies (likely with repeat dosing) are required to evaluate whether this effect can prevent DCI or cerebral infarction.
