説明

<jats:sec> <jats:title>Background and Purpose—</jats:title> <jats:p> Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is neuroprotective in experimental stroke and mobilizes CD34 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> peripheral blood stem cells into the circulation. We assessed the safety of G-CSF in recent stroke in a phase IIb single-center randomized, controlled trial. </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods—</jats:title> <jats:p> G-CSF (10 μg/kg) or placebo (ratio 2:1) was given SC for 5 days to 60 patients 3 to 30 days after ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. The primary outcome was the frequency of serious adverse events. Peripheral blood counts, CD34 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> count, and functional outcome were measured. MRI assessed lesion volume, atrophy, and the presence of iron-labeled CD34 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> cells reinjected on day 6. </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results—</jats:title> <jats:p> Sixty patients were recruited at mean of 8 days (SD ±5) post ictus, with mean age 71 years (±12 years) and 53% men. The groups were well matched for baseline minimization/prognostic factors. There were no significant differences between groups in the number of participants with serious adverse events: G-CSF 15 (37.5%) of 40 versus placebo 7 (35%) of 20, death or dependency (modified Rankin Score: G-CSF 3.3±1.3, placebo 3.0±1.3) at 90 days, or the number of injections received. G-CSF increased CD34 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> and total white cell counts of 9.5- and 4.2-fold, respectively. There was a trend toward reduction in MRI ischemic lesion volume with respect to change from baseline in G-CSF–treated patients ( <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> =0.06). In 1 participant, there was suggestion that labeled CD34 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> cells had migrated to the ischemic lesion. </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions—</jats:title> <jats:p> This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial suggests that G-CSF is safe when administered subacutely. It is feasible to label and readminister iron-labeled CD34 <jats:sup>+</jats:sup> cells in patients with ischemic stroke. </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Clinical Trial Registration—</jats:title> <jats:p> URL: <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.controlled-trials.com">www.controlled-trials.com</jats:ext-link> .
