Third Enhanced Control of Hypertension and Thrombectomy Stroke Domain Within ACT-GLOBAL Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT06352619)
Third Enhanced Control of Hypertension and Thrombectomy Stroke Domain Within A Multi-faCtorial, mulTi-arm, Multi-staGe, Randomised, gLOBal Adaptive pLatform Trial for Stroke (ACT-GLOBAL_ENCHANTED3/MT)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Several clinical trials have produced variable conclusions regarding the effects of intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering in post-EVT acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) patients. Although two trials indicate harm from very intensive target-based treatment (SBP \<130 mmHg), the others neutral effects in the SBP range 140-160 mmHg. The ENCHANTED3/MT domain of the ACT-GLOBAL platform trial aims to test different approaches to the treatment of elevated SBP in post-EVT AIS patients to find an optimal BP management strategy. ENCHANTED3/MT will randomize (1:1:1) up to 2,000 patients with SBP ≥150 mmHg post-EVT to conservative (no or minimal SBP reduction by 5-10mmHg or a target of 175-180mmHg if very-high baseline SBP \[≥180mmHg\]), moderate (SBP reduction by 10-20mmHg or a target of 160 ± 5, whichever is higher; no control if low-high baseline SBP \[150-160mmHg\]), or intensive (SBP reduction by 30-50mmHg or a target of 140±5 mmHg, whichever is higher) BP management.
