About this trial

A prospective, multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label, blinded endpoint trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous administration of tirofiban for preventing early neurological deterioration after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥18 years old;

Acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase or tenecteplase within 4.5 hours of onset or time last known well and can receive the study drug treatment within 3 hours of initiating intravenous thrombolysis.

Residual NIHSS score ≥ 5 points at randomization (at least 1 hour after intravenous thrombolytic therapy).

Post-thrombolysis imaging shows that the offending artery is consistent with moderate or severe intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (within 50%~99%)

Disqualifiers

Intracranial hemorrhage confirmed by imaging post-thrombolysis.

Stroke caused by other determined causes, including moyamoya disease, artery dissection, arteritis, etc.

Scheduled for or received endovascular treatment after onset.

Definite or suspected cardioembolic stroke.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Tirofiban Hydrochloride

    Drug

    Tirofiban will use a loading dose, 0.4 μg/kg/min × 30 minutes, then 0.1μg/kg/min infusion until 24 hours after Intravenous thrombolytic therapy, or use a loading dose, 25 μg/kg, administrated within 3 minutes, then 0.15μg/kg/min infusion until 24 hours after Intravenous thrombolytic therapy.

  • Standard medical treatment (SMT)

    Drug

    Patients will receive standard antiplatelet therapy.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Proportion of patients experiencing neurological deterioration within 24 hours after intravenous thrombolysis.

National Health Institute Stroke Scale (NIHSS): stroke symptom severity scale ranging from 0-42. A higher score means more severe stroke symptoms. Neurological deterioration is defined as an increase in NIHSS by ≥ 4 points compared to the lowest NIHSS.

Time frame
Within 24 hours after intravenous thombolysis.

Secondary outcomes

1

Change of the NIHSS

National Health Institute Stroke Scale (NIHSS): stroke symptom severity scale with a range of 0-42. Higher score means more severe stroke symptoms.

Time frame
7 days or discharge after intravenous thrombolytic therapy
2

The proportion of patients with a modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of 0-1 at 30-day follow up.

The mRS is an ordinal, graded interval scale that assigns patients among 7 global disability levels, which ranging from 0 (no symptom) to 5 (severe disability) and 6 (death).

Time frame
30 days after stroke
3

The proportion of patients with a modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of 0-1 at 90-day follow up.

The mRS is an ordinal, graded interval scale that assigns patients among 7 global disability levels, which ranging from 0 (no symptom) to 5 (severe disability) and 6 (death).

Time frame
90 days after stroke
4

The proportion of patients with a modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of 0-2 at 30-day follow up.

The mRS is an ordinal, graded interval scale that assigns patients among 7 global disability levels, which ranging from 0 (no symptom) to 5 (severe disability) and 6 (death).

Time frame
30 days after stroke
