Stroke, Acute Ischemic Clinical Trial
Official title:
Intra-arterial Alteplase for Acute Ischemic Stroke After Mechanical Thrombectomy (PEARL): A Multicenter, Prospective, Open-label, Blinded Endpoint, Randomized Controlled Trial
A multicenter, prospective, open-label, blinded endpoint, randomized controlled trial aiming at evaluating the efficacy and safety of intra-arterial recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) after successful recanalization of acute large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation by mechanical thrombectomy in improving the 90-day functional outcome.
This study is a multicenter, prospective, open-label, blinded endpoint, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra-arterial recombinant human tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) after successful recanalization of acute large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation by mechanical thrombectomy (eTICI 2b50/3). The primary outcome is the proportion of patients with a 90-day modified Rankin scale (mRS) of 0-1. Study intervention: (1) Participants in the experimental group will receive intra-arterial alteplase (a dose of 0.225 mg/kg and a maximum dose of 20 mg) after the mechanical thrombectomy, and will receive standard medical treatment after the procedure. (2) Participants in the control group will receive standard medical treatment without intra-arterial alteplase. A total of 324 participants are anticipated to be recruited for this study, with 162 participants in each group (1:1 ratio). ;
