The authors investigated whether the lack of effect of tirilazad on clinical outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke is explained by failure of tirilazad to reduce infarct volume. Overall, tirilazad had no significant effect on infarct volume. In the subgroups of male patients and of those with a cortical infarct, tirilazad significantly reduced infarct volume. These effects were reduced to nonsignificant trends after adjustment for imbalances in baseline characteristics. In conclusion, early treatment of patients with tirilazad has no effect on infarct volume.
