Intra-Arterial Tirofiban After Complete Recanalization for Acute Intracranial Large-Vessel Occlusion
China344 participantsStarted 2026-04
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if immediate intra-arterial tirofiban after complete recanalization can improve recovery in adults with acute ischemic stroke caused by anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion. It will also learn about the safety of this treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does immediate intra-arterial tirofiban after complete recanalization increase the number of participants with good functional outcome at 90 days? Does this treatment increase the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage or other important bleeding events?
Researchers will compare immediate intra-arterial tirofiban with no intra-arterial tirofiban after complete recanalization to see if tirofiban improves recovery and is safe.
Participants will:
Be enrolled after mechanical thrombectomy achieves complete recanalization Be randomly assigned to receive intra-arterial tirofiban or no intra-arterial tirofiban Receive follow-up assessments during hospitalization and at 90 days

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.
