  1. Managing high blood pressure in acute stroke: The ‘Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke’ (ENOS) trial Philip Bath Chief Investigator Version 1.0

  2. From bench to patient to population Epidemiology IST/TAIST/BASC  Pre-clinical: experimental Nitric oxide donors  Pre-clinical: meta-analysis Nitric oxide donors  Phase I, human volunteers SNP SPECT trial  Phase II, dose escalation, safety GTN/Xenon CT trials  Clinical: meta-analysis Cochrane Library  Phase III, safety and efficacy ENOS trial  Clinical: meta-analysis Cochrane Library

  3. SBP in acute ischaemic stroke: IST High blood pressures is very common in acute ischaemic stroke affecting ~80% of patients N=17,398 Leonardi-Bee et al. Stroke 2002;33:1315-20

  4. High blood pressure in acute stroke BP falls over the first 1-2 weeks (in 2/3 patients) BP levels are very variable during this time See example patient with acute stroke

  5. Systolic BP & outcome: IST Both low and high BP are associated independently with early death and late death/disability N=17,398 Leonardi-Bee et al. Stroke 2002;33:1315-20

  6. SBP & early recurrence: TAIST High blood pressure is associated with an increased risk of early recurrence after ischaemic stroke 10 N=1,384 Sprigg et al. J Hypertension 2006;24:1413-17

  7. To lower or not lower BP in acute stroke An old debate! Arch Neurology 1985;42:999-1002

  8. Guidelines are expert-based, Encephalopathy, heart failure/ischaemia, aortic dissection Other hypertensive stroke patients not evidence-based Reduce BP Do not lower: BP at all SBP below 160 Reduce: if SBP>200-220 if DBP>120-130 to MBP=120-140 MBP by < 20% Guidelines for management

  10. Candesartan vs. placebo for 7 days (then candesartan for all for 1 year) 500 patients - trial stopped early after 339 for ‘safety’ SBP>200 and/or DBP>110; or 2x >180 and/or >105 Conscious, motor weakness, <72 hours No effect on BP? No effect on functional outcome at 3 months (primary outcome) Reduced vascular events at 1 year ACCESS Schrader et al. Stroke 2003;34,1699-1703 N=339

  11. CCB in acuteischaemic stroke: No effect on outcome CCBs: Horn & Limburg. Cochrane Library 2002

  12. Multimodality of drugs BP modifying drugs have other actions: ACE-I Neuroprotection, block tissue effects, (antiplatelet) ARA Neuroprotection, block tissue effects ß-RA Antiplatelet, negative inotrope CCB Antiplatelet, negative inotrope, ‘cerebral steal’ NO Neuroprotection, cerebral vasodilator, anti-platelet, (antileucocyte) SANS Inotrope, chronotrope, vasoconstrictor, platelet agonist Bath P. Stroke 2003;34:1334-5

  13. Prior hypertension 50% of patients are on antihypertensive medication before stroke Should we continue or stop these during acute phase of stroke? • Continue • Lower blood pressure with potential benefits/hazards? • ‘Beneficial’ drug classes: ACE-I, ARA, NO ? • ‘Detrimental/neutral’ drug classes: CCBs, ß-RA ? • Administration in presence of dysphagia • Prior non-compliance -> massive fall in BP • Stop temporarily • ‘Rebound’ rise in BP? • Remember to re-start for secondary prevention • No completed trials

  14.

  16. NOx levels low in stroke Low levels associated with a poor outcome Supplementing NO might improve outcome? Nitric oxide (NOx) levels in acute stroke * ** ** Rashid et al. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2003;12:82-87

  17. Experimental stroke NO donors: Reduce lesion size Increase regional CBF NO is neuroprotective? NO in stroke Willmot et al. Nitric Oxide 2005;12:141-9

  18. Cerebral autoregulation Cerebral perfusion normally maintained independently of BP Curve right-shifted in chronic high BP Autoregulation lost following stroke Local perfusion becomes dependent on BP Strandgaard et al. Br Med J 1973 Barry & Lassern. J Hypertension 1984

  19. Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN): left infarct BP lowered by 10% with GTN; CBF measured using xenon CT CBF: Perfusion did not fall N=18 Willmot et al. Hypertension 2006;epub

  20. GTN: left haemorrhage And the same in primary intracerebral haemorrhage N=18 Willmot et al. Hypertension 2006;epub

  21. Transdermal glyceryl trinitrate (NO donor) on BP in acute stroke GTN lowers BP in acute stroke (measured using ambulatory BP measuring [ABPM]) N=37 Bath et al. Cerebrovasc Dis 2001;11:265-72

  22. Transdermal glyceryl trinitrate (NO donor) in acute stroke • Acute stroke (<96 hours) • Ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke • GTN (7 days): 5mg; 5 mg for 4d then 10mg; 10 mg Day 1 Control GTN p Subjects 30 60 Mean BP (mmHg) 110.5 104.3 <0.001 MCA velocity (m/s) 26.3 24.6 NS Pulsatility index 1.42 1.41 NS Augmentation index 132.7 115.7 <0.001 GTN: Lowered BP Did not alter middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity Reduced augmentation index, i.e. increases aortic compliance N=90 Rashid et al. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2003;13:143-51

  23. GTN on blood pressure GTN lowered systolic BP (systematic review): • Top: Measured over 24 hours (ABPM) • Bottom: Measures 2 hours after placement of GTN Gray et al. J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis 2006;15:245-9

  24. Efficacy of Nitric Oxide inStroke (ENOS) • Assess if lowering blood pressure improves outcome • Interventions (for 7 days): • Transdermal glyceryl trinitrate (5 mg daily) or control • Continue / stop prior antihypertensive therapy • Ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke within 48 hours • 5,000 patients • Internet: Randomisation, data collection, trial management • 711 patients, 41 centres, 13 countries, 4 continents (1/7/07) • Start-up funding by Hypertension Trust, BUPA Foundation • Main phase funding by MRC Nov 2006-Oct 2011 www.enos.ac.uk/

  25. ENOS: Aims / interventions 1. Does acute lowering of BP with GTN reduce death and dependency? • GTN 5mg daily versus nothing for 7 days 2. Should prior antihypertensive medication be continued or temporarily stopped during the acute phase of stroke? • Continue versus stop prior treatment for 7 days On top of standard evidence-based acute medical and nursing care, and secondary prevention www.enos.ac.uk/

  26. ENOS: Outcomes Primary (3 months): • Modified Rankin Scale: 0-2 versus 3-6 Secondary outcomes: • Efficacy: disability, institutionalisation, early recurrence, QoL, mood, cognition • Safety: death, deterioration, CT lesion size Primary outcome in sub-groups: • Ischaemic, haemorrhagic stroke • Systolic BP levels (mmHg): 140-160, >160 • Timing of treatment (hours): <12, 12-48 www.enos.ac.uk/

  27. ENOS: Sample size Assumptions: • Alpha 5% • Power 90% • Control rate for mRS>2 50% • GTN rate for mRS>2 45% • Absolute treatment effect 5% • Losses to follow-up 5% • 5000 patients • Analysis by intention-to-treat www.enos.ac.uk/
