Brief Summary

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

Acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion is a frequently occurring life-threatening condition. Although endovascular treatment can effectively open occluded vessels, the successful reperfusion rate exceeds 80%, but the rate of good prognosis is less than 50%. The current clinical focus is on how to improve futile recanalization. Tirofiban is widely used in the treatment of stroke, as it can effectively prevent vascular reocclusion and improve microcirculation perfusion. It has the potential to improve futile recanalization, but there is a lack of high-level evidence-based medical support. This multicenter, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted to assess the effectiveness and safety of sequential tirofiban therapy following successful mechanical thrombectomy within 24 hours of onset.

Detailed Description

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

Endovascular treatment is the primary approach for significantly improving the clinical prognosis of patients with acute large vessel occlusion, and it has been consistently recommended by both domestic and foreign guidelines. Successful vascular recanalization and restoration of ischemic tissue reperfusion are crucial for the favorable prognosis of patients with large vessel occlusion. However, the rate of successful reperfusion after endovascular treatment exceeds 80%, but the rate of favorable outcomes at 90 days follow-up is less than 50%. The reasons for ineffective recanalization include reperfusion injury, arterial reocclusion, hemorrhagic transformation, and microvascular reperfusion insufficiency. Although vascular recanalization can be visualized using DSA, not all microvascular beds can be effectively perfused, and persistent microocclusion of the capillary bed in ischemic tissue will also result in a poor prognosis. Currently, drug intervention is not commonly utilized to achieve successful recanalization after mechanical thrombectomy in clinical practice. Additionally, there is a lack of effective methods to improve ineffective recanalization.

Tirofiban is widely used in the treatment of stroke, as it can effectively prevent vascular reocclusion and improve microcirculation perfusion. It has the potential to improve futile recanalization, but there is a lack of high-level evidence-based medical support.

This is a prospective, randomized, multicenter, double-blind clinical trial. In 52 centers in China, 1360 patients with the following situations will be enrolled: achieved successful recanalization after mechanical thrombectomy (mTICI 2b/3) within 24h of stroke onset.

Patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups according to the ratio of 1:1:

1. experimental group received a bolus of tirofiban at a dosage of 5μg/kg (with a maximum dose not exceeding 0.5mg) through the catheter artery, followed by a continuous intravenous infusion at a rate of 0.1μg/(kg·min) for 24 hours.
2. The control group was given a placebo in the same manner. Face to face interviews will be made on baseline, 24 hours after randomization, 48 hours after randomization, day 7 after randomization or discharge day. Day 90 after randomization will be interviewed by phone or face to face.

The main measure of effectiveness was the rate of mRS 0-2 after 90 days, and the primary focus on safety was the rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 48 hours. This study aims to clarify the role of tirofiban in enhancing unsuccessful recanalization after thrombectomy, which holds significant clinical value in improving the prognosis of patients following thrombectomy.

Tirofiban group

After the completion of endovascular treatment and successful recanalization (mTICI 2b/3), the patients were randomly assigned to the experimental group. Tirofiban 5μg/kg was administered intravenously through the catheter artery at a rate of 1ml/min, followed by an intravenous infusion of 0.1μg/(kg·min) for 24 hours. Standard medical treatment was administered after the surgery.
