Intracoronary rhTNK-tPA Versus Tirofiban in Patients With STEMI and High Thrombus Burden

Effects of Intracoronary Recombinant Human TNK Tissue-type Plasminogen Activator Versus Tirofiban on Myocardial Perfusion and Clinical Prognosis in Patients With ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction and High Thrombus Burden: a Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled, Single-blind, Non-inferior Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of intracoronary rhTNK-tPA or Tirofiban in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and high thrombus burden. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the efficacy of intracoronary rhTNK-tPA non-inferior to intracoronary Tirofiban for the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in patients wiht high thrombus burden? * Does intracoronary rhTNK-tPA increase the incidence of bleeding events? This multicenter RCT study plans to enroll 300 patients, who are randomly divided into two groups: intracoronary rhTNK-tPA or Tirofiban by 1:1. The primary efficacy endpoint was post-PCI corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC). Major adverse events (death, recurrent myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure) were observed at 1 year follow-up.
