The efficacy and safety of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist in stroke patients : A systematic review

Stroke is the leading cause of disability worldwide, yet there is currently no effective treatment available to mitigate its negative consequences. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), are known to play a crucial role in exacerbating the aftermath of stroke. Thus, it is hypothesized that blocking inflammation and administering anti-inflammatory drugs at an optimal time and dosage may improve the long-term quality of life for stroke patients. This systematic review examines the effectiveness and safety of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), commercially known as "anakinra," in clinical studies involving the treatment of stroke patients. A comprehensive literature search was conducted until October 2023 to identify relevant studies. The search yielded 1403 articles, out of which 598 were removed due to duplication. After a thorough review of 805 titles and abstracts, 797 articles were further excluded, resulting in 8 studies being included in this systematic review. The findings from all the included studies demonstrate that IL-1Ra is safe for use in acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients, with no significant adverse events reported. Additionally, biomarkers, clinical assessments, serious adverse events (AEs), and non-serious AEs consistently showed more favorable outcomes in IL-1Ra receiving patients. Stroke elevates the levels of several inflammatory cytokines, however, administration of IL-1RA directly or indirectly modulates these markers and improves some clinical outcomes, suggesting a potential therapeutic benefit of this intervention.
