NCT06319846

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, double-blind, double-dummy, randomized clinical trial comparing the efficacy and safety of tirofiban versus placebo in preventing recurrence of stroke for patients with intracranial artery stenosis and high-risk acute non-disabling cerebrovascular events.

    at 1 year

  • Type 2, 3 or 5 bleeding events according to the BARC criteria at 3-month and 1-year.

    at 3-month and 1-year

  • All bleeding events (type 1-5 bleeding events according to the BARC criteria)

    at 3-month and 1-year

  • +2 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Tirofiban group

EXPERIMENTAL

Initial infusion of tirofiban 0.4μg/kg body weight/minute for 30 minutes (a maximum dose of 1mg) within 24 hours of symptom onset, followed by a continuous infusion of tirofiban 0.1μg/kg body weight/minute for 48 hours.

Drug: Tirofiban

Placebo group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Initial infusion of saline placebo for 30 minutes within 24 hours of symptom onset, followed by a continuous infusion of placebo for 48 hours.

Drug: Placebo

Interventions

Initial infusion of tirofiban 0.4μg/kg body weight/minute for 30 minutes (a maximum dose of 1mg) within 24 hours of symptom onset, followed by a continuous infusion of tirofiban 0.1μg/kg body weight/minute for 48 hours.

Tirofiban group

Initial infusion of saline placebo for 30 minutes within 24 hours of symptom onset, followed by a continuous infusion of placebo for 48 hours.

Placebo group

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • years or older than 40 years;
  • Acute cerebral ischemic event due to:
  • Acute non-disabling ischemic stroke (NIHSS≤5 at the time of randomization) or,
  • TIA with moderate-to-high risk of stroke (ABCD2 score ≥ 6 at the time of randomization);
  • Accompanied with symptomatic intracranial artery stenosis, defined as ≥ 50% stenosis of the infarcted ipsilateral intracranial artery. Intracranial arteries include intracranial segments of internal carotid arteries, intracranial segments of vertebral arteries, M1-M2 segments of middle cerebral arteries, A1-A2 segments of anterior cerebral arteries, P1-P2 segments of posterior cerebral arteries, and basilar artery. The techniques for detecting intracranial artery stenosis are limited to: MRA, CTA, or DSA. The measurement for the degree of stenosis has been established by the WASID (Warfarin-Aspirin Symptomatic Intracranial Disease) study. (AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 2000;21:643-646.);
  • Can be treated with study drug within 24 hours of symptoms onset\*(\*Symptom onset is defined by the "last seen normal" principle);
  • Informed consent signed.

You may not qualify if:

  • Malformation, tumor, abscess or other major non-ischemic brain disease (e.g., multiple sclerosis) on baseline head CT or MRI.
  • Unable to complete the evaluation of intracranial artery stenosis before randomization.
  • Isolated or pure sensory symptoms (e.g., numbness), isolated visual changes, or isolated dizziness/vertigo without evidence of acute infarction on baseline head CT or MRI.
  • Iatrogenic causes (angioplasty or surgery) of minor stroke or TIA.
  • A score of \> 2 on the modified Rankin scale before the symptom onset.
  • Contraindication for tirofiban:
  • Known allergy
  • Severe renal (creatinine exceeding 1.5 times of the upper limit of normal range) or hepatic (ALT or AST \> twice the upper limit of normal range) insufficiency
  • Severe cardiac failure (NYHA level: III to IV)
  • History of hemostatic disorder or systemic bleeding
  • History of thrombocytopenia or neutropenia
  • History of drug-induced hematologic disorder or hepatic dysfunction
  • Low white blood cell (\<2×109/L) or platelet count (\<100×109/L)
  • Tirofiban has been used since this onset.
  • Hematocrit (HCT) \<30%.
  • +17 more criteria
