      <title>Can IL-1ra reduce inflammation and improve clinical outcome following aneurysmal SAH?</title>
      <scientificTitle>Does Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Improve Outcome following aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage (aSAH)? A Phase III trial</scientificTitle>
      <acronym>SC IL-1Ra in SAH - phase III trial</acronym>
      <studyHypothesis>Treatment with IL-1Ra subcutaneously (SC) twice daily to patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage will improve clinical outcome at 6 months.</studyHypothesis>
      <plainEnglishSummary>Background and study aims
Subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a bleed onto the surface of the brain. It is usually caused when a weakness (aneurysm) in the wall of a blood vessel within the brain suddenly bursts. It affects up to 6,000 people every year in the UK. Up to half of all patients do not survive long enough to receive hospital treatment and those who do survive, often suffer long-term issues that impact on their daily life. In the hours and days after SAH, patients are at risk of further brain damage due to inflammation (swelling). A protein called interleukin-1 (IL-1) is the main culprit and this triggers a number of other chemicals in the circulation which may lead to physical symptoms similar to stroke but can also cause problems with language, mood, anxiety and fatigue all of which impact most on recovery and returning to work. The effect of IL-1 can be blocked, reduced or even reversed by another protein present naturally in our body; interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). A company has produced a man-made version of IL-1Ra, which has been used for many years as an anti-inflammatory treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. Inflammation occurs very early after the initial haemorrhage and can continue for up to 21 days, which means IL-1Ra should be given early and through the risk period to prevent or reduce these symptoms. Our group has successfully tested IL-1Ra in patients with subarachnoid haemorrhage and found it reduces inflammation in the circulation and brain and we now want to establish whether IL-1Ra improves recovery after subarachnoid haemorrhage. The aim of this study is to treat patients with SAD using IL-1Ra subcutaneously twice daily to see if this can improve clinical outcomes.

Who can participate?
Adults aged 18 and older who have SAH.

What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly allocated to one of two groups. Those in the first group receive subcutaneous injections of IL-1Ra twice daily for up to 21 days from the onset of their symptoms. Those in the second group receive a placebo (a dummy) twice daily for 21 days. All participants continue to receive the standard care for subarachnoid haemorrhage and participation in this study will not affect or delay this care. Participants provide blood samples before the treatment, and after 3-5 days to measure levels of inflammatory markers in the blood. Participants are followed up for safety for 30 days and are followed up for six months to assess the impact of the treatment.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
As this is a phase III study it will be made clear to participants that there is no evidence of benefit at this stage. Participants will also be advised that as this study is double-blind and randomised and it will not be known if they will receive study drug or placebo. Evidence from earlier phase studies showed that the study drug reduces inflammation associated with SAH and is safe to use. The results of this study will provide evidence whether reducing inflammation improves outcome and participants may be helping to provide the evidence that may change treatment for SAH in the future.

Where is the study run from? 
This study is being run by the University of Manchester (UK) and takes place in hospitals in the UK.
 
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
July 2015 to April 2024

Who is funding the study?
National Institute for Health Research (UK)

      <primaryOutcomes/>
      <primaryOutcome>Overall survival.

      <secondaryOutcomes/>
      <secondaryOutcome>1. Local progression-free survival
2. Metastasis-free survival
3. Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0) toxicity
4. Chemotherapy dose intensity
5. Radiotherapy dose intensity

Information for each of the primary and secondary objectives will be gained by assessing the patient prior to each cycle of chemotherapy, at a completion visit within 4 weeks of the final cycle, and then at follow-up visits which are 3 monthly for the first year, then six monthly thereafter until death.</secondaryOutcome>

      <inclusion>1. Either sex, aged greater than or equal to 18 years 
2. Estern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) grade 0 - 1. Patients with PS 2 whose general condition is explained by obstructive/bulky disease likely to improve after the first cycle of chemotherapy can be included at the discretion of the local investigator. Patients with PS 2 as a result of comorbid conditions will be excluded
3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed SCLC 
4. No patients with mixed small-cell and non-small-cell histologic features 
5. No history of previous malignancy in the last 5 years (except non melanomatous skin or in-situ cervix carcinoma). Patients with previous malignancies (except breast cancer) and in remission for at least 5 years can be included
6. Limited stage disease (Veterans Administration Lung Cancer Study Group), i.e., patients whose disease can be encompassed within a radical radiation portal
7. No pleural or pericardial effusions proven to be malignant 
8. Radiotherapy (RT) target volume acceptable by the local radiotherapist 
9. Pulmonary function: 
9.1. Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) greater than 1 litre or 40% predicted value 
9.2. Carbon Monoxide Transfer Coefficient (KCO) (Carbon Monoxide Diffusing capacity in the whole Lung per unit Alveolar Volume [DLCO/VA]) greater than 40% predicted 
10. Maximum of one of the following adverse biochemical factors: 
10.1. Serum alkaline phosphatase more than 1.5 times the Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) 
10.2. Serum sodium less than lower limit of normal 
10.3. Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) greater than upper limit of normal (added 09/04/2008)
11. Normal serum creatinine and calculated creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 50 ml/min. If calculated creatinine clearance is less than 50 ml/mn according to the Cockroft and Gault formula, an Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) clearance should be performed 
12. Adequate haematological function:
12.1. Neutrophils greater than 1.5 x 10^9/l 
12.2. Platelets greater than 100 x 10^9/l 
13. No other previous or concomitant illness or treatment which in the opinion of the clinician will interfere with the trial treatments or comparisons 
14. No prior surgical resection of the primary tumour, no prior radiotherapy for lung cancer 
15. Considered fit to receive any of the trial regimens 
16. Female patients must satisfy the investigator that they are not pregnant, or are not of child-bearing potential, or are using adequate contraception. Men must also use adequate contraception, as etoposide is clastogenic
17. Patients must not be breastfeeding

	<description>Control arm:     
1. Between 4 and 6 cycles of cisplatin and etoposide (cisplatin 25 mg/m^2 intravenous [iv] day 1 - 3 or 75 mg/m^2 day 1, etoposide 100 mg/m^2 iv day 1 - 3)
2. Concurrent twice daily (BD) radiotherapy 45 Gy, 30 twice-daily fractions over 3 weeks, 5 days per week from day 22 of cycle 1
3. Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI) will be given if indicated
 
Experimental arm:
1. Between 4 and 6 cycles of cisplatin and etoposide (cisplatin 25 mg/m^2 iv day 1 - 3 or 75 mg/m^2 day 1, etoposide 100 mg/m^2 iv day 1 - 3)
2. Concurrent once daily (OD) radiotherapy 66 Gy in 33 daily fractions over 6.5 weeks, 5 days per week from day 22 of cycle 1
3. Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation (PCI) will be given if indicated

Patients will undergo screening examinations and will then be randomised to a treatment arm. Treatment will begin within 2 weeks of randomisation. During chemoradiotherapy treatment the patient will be assessed prior to each cycle via physical exam and blood tests, with chest X-rays prior to cycles 1, 3 and 5. Research staff will monitor any toxicities and record treatment and toxicity details on a Case Report Form (CRF). The patient will be seen again within 4 weeks of the final cycle for assessment, response to treatment will be evaluated and prophylactic cranial irradiation given if indicated. The patient will then enter the follow-up phase of the study - during follow-up patients will be seen at 3 monthly intervals for 12 months, and six monthly thereafter until death.</description>
