Tirofiban After Successful MT Recanalization in AIS
China1,380 participantsStarted 2024-04-09
Plain-language summary
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.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Proportion of patients functionally independent (mRS score 0 to 2) at 90 days
Timeframe: 90 days after randomization
2
Number of participants with symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage
. After the end of mechanical thrombectomy, the mTICI was stable at 2b/3, and there was no secondary embolism in other non-offending vessels, or the diagnostic angiography before mechanical thrombectomy showed that the occluded vessels improved to mTICI 2b/3, and no mechanical thrombectomy was planned.
Exclusion criteria
. Intra-arterial thrombolysis;
. Tirofiban was used within 24 hours before endovascular treatment
. Women who are known to be pregnant or lactating, or have a positive pregnancy test before randomization;
. Allergy to tirofiban, radiocontrast agent or Nitinol materials;
. Any active bleeding within 30 days before stroke or recent bleeding (gastrointestinal, urinary, etc.);
. parenchymal organ surgery or biopsy within 14 days before stroke;
