Background Clazosentan, an endothelin receptor antagonist, significantly and dose-dependently reduced angiographic vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH). We investigated whether clazosentan reduced vasospasm-related morbidity and all-cause mortality. Methods In this randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study, we randomly assigned patients with aSAH secured by surgical clipping to clazosentan (5 mg/h, n=768) or placebo (n=389) for up to 14 days (27 countries, 102 sites, inpatient and outpatient settings) using an interactive web response system. The primary composite endpoint (week 6) included all-cause mortality, vasospasm-related new cerebral infarcts, delayed ischaemic neurological deficit due to vasospasm, and rescue therapy for vasospasm. The main secondary endpoint was dichotomised extended Glasgow outcome scale (GOSE; week 12). This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00558311. Findings In the all-treated dataset, the primary endpoint was met in 161 (21%) of 764 clazosentan-treated patients and 97 (25%) of 383 placebo-treated patients (relative risk reduction 17%, 95% CI -4 to 33; p=0.10). Poor functional outcome (GOSE score <= 4) occurred in 224 (29%) clazosentan-treated patients and 95 (25%) placebo-treated patients (-18%, -45 to 4; p=0.10). Lung complications, anaemia, and hypotension were more common with clazosentan. Mortality (week 12) was 6% in both groups. Interpretation Clazosentan at 5 mg/h had no significant effect on mortality and vasospasm-related morbidity or functional outcome. Further investigation of patients undergoing endovascular coiling of ruptured aneurysms is needed to fully understand the potential usefulness of clazosentan in patients with aSAH.
