About this trial
This study aims to evaluate whether initiating intravenous tirofiban within 48 hours of onset (with a 48-hour infusion), followed by sequential DAPT, can improve the likelihood of excellent functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score 0-1) in mild stroke patients, compared with standard DAPT therapy based on current guidelines.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age: 18-80 years old.
Acute mild non-cardioembolic stroke.
NIHSS score ≤5.
Time from onset to randomization of ≤48 hours; if the time of onset is unknown, time from the last known time of being well to randomization of ≤48 hours.
Disqualifiers
Received or planned to receive intravenous thrombolysis or bridging therapy (with subsequent endovascular treatment)
Intracranial hemorrhage confirmed by imaging.
Pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≥2.
Any confirmed cardioembolic source, including chronic or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, sick sinus syndrome, mitral stenosis, mechanical heart valve, infective endocarditis, intracardiac thrombus or vegetation, myocardial infarction within 3 months, dilated cardiomyopathy, left atrial spontaneous echo contrast, ejection fraction <30%.

Treatments tested in this trial
Tirofiban+Oral Dual Antiplatelet Therapy

DrugAspirin 100mg qd; Clopidogrel 75mg qd (after first dose of 300mg)
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Proportion of excellent functional outcomes (mRS 0-1)
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)
Secondary outcomes
Incidence of early neurological deterioration
more than 2 National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score increase (not result of cerebral hemorrhage) compared with baseline. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale: stroke symptom severity scale with a range of 0-42. Higher score means more severe stroke symptoms.
Incidence of early neurological improvement
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of 0 or improvement ≥2 points from baseline. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale: stroke symptom severity scale with a range of 0-42. Higher score means more severe stroke symptoms
Change in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score from baseline
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale: stroke symptom severity scale with a range of 0-42. Higher score means more severe stroke symptoms
Proportion of good functional outcomes (mRS 0-2)
good functional outcomes (mRS 0-2)
