Endovascular Therapy Combined With Tirofiban for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Acute Ischemic Stroke

Endovascular Therapy Combined With Tirofiban for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Multicenter, Prospective, Double-blind, Vehicle-controlled, Randomized Controlled Trial

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether adjunctive tirofiban therapy combined with endovascular treatment (EVT) improves neurological outcomes in patients with acute large vessel occlusion due to large-artery atherosclerosis. Patients will be randomized to receive either tirofiban or matching placebo after EVT. The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of patients achieving functional independence (modified Rankin Scale 0-2) at 90±7 days, while the safety endpoint is the probability of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhagewithin 48 hours after randomization.

  • Any confirmed cardioembolic source (including atrial fibrillation, valvular disease, intracardiac thrombus, recent MI, cardiomyopathy with EF \<30%, etc.)

Lab values

  • Bleeding diathesis including coagulopathy (platelets \<100×10⁹/L, aPTT \>50s, or INR \>2.0), DOAC use within 48 hours, or history of HIT
