Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of early administration of tirofiban in patients treated with tenecteplase for acute ischemic stroke.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase is recommended in treatment guidelines for patients with acute ischemic stroke. Previous studies showed that intravenous tenecteplase (0.25 mg/kg) is a reasonable alternative to alteplase for all patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke who meet standard criteria for thrombolysis. After thrombolysis-induced recanalisation, reocclusion occurs in 14-34% of patients, probably because of platelet activation. Early administration of antiplatelet therapy after intravenous thrombolysis could reduce the risk of reocclusion and improve outcome. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of early administration of tirofiban in patients treated with tenecteplase for acute ischemic stroke.

Tirofiban

Patients are treated with intravenous tenecteplase first, and patients who meet the selection criteria will be randomly assigned to either the tirofiban or placebo group in a 1:1 ratio. Patients assigned to the tirofiban group will be treated with intravenous tirofiban. It is recommended to start treatment as soon as possible (within 10 minutes recommended) after randomization. Tirofiban will be administered at a dose of 0.3 μg per kilogram of body weight per minute for 30 minutes, followed by a continuous infusion of 0.075 μg per kilogram per minute for 47.5h. Aspirin placebo (1 tablet) and/or clopidogrel placebo (1 tablet) will be given orally at 24h after intravenous tenecteplase. Antiplatelet therapy with aspirin (100 mg) and/or clopidogrel (75 mg) will be administered at 44h after randomization until the follow-up period of 90 days.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tirofiban Hydrochloride

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients will receive a continuous intravenous infusion of tirofiban at a dose of 0.3 μg per kilogram of body weight per minute for 30 minutes, followed by a continuous infusion of 0.075 μg per kilogram per minute for 47.5h after start of tenecteplase treatment within 4-24 hours. Aspirin placebo (1 tablet) and/or clopidogrel placebo (1 tablet) will be given orally at 24h after intravenous tenecteplase. Antiplatelet therapy with aspirin (100 mg) and/or clopidogrel (75 mg) will be administered at 44h after randomization until the follow-up period of 90 days.

Placebo

All patients are treated with intravenous tenecteplase first, and patients who meet the selection criteria will be randomly assigned to either the tirofiban or placebo group in a 1:1 ratio. Patients assigned to the placebo group will be treated with intravenous saline. It is recommended to start treatment as soon as possible (within 10 minutes recommended) after randomization. Placebo will be administered at a dose of 0.3 μg per kilogram of body weight per minute for 30 minutes, followed by a continuous infusion of 0.075 μg per kilogram per minute for 47.5h. Aspirin (1 tablet) and/or clopidogrel (1 tablet) will be given orally at 24h after intravenous tenecteplase. Antiplatelet therapy with aspirin (100 mg) and/or clopidogrel (75 mg) will be administered at 44h after randomization until the follow-up period of 90 days.

Aspirin (1 tablet) and/or clopidogrel (1 tablet) will be given orally at 24h after intravenous tenecteplase.
