About this study

This study is a multicenter, randomized, blind endpoint and positive drug control study.

The study plans to recruit 1412 AIS patients within 4.5 hours of onset. Qualified subjects are assigned to the test drug and control drug alteplase group according to the ratio of 1:1. After receiving thrombolytic drugs, the subjects need to carry out a series of safety and effectiveness tests. The mRS score and Barthel index score visits are carried out on the 90th day (± 7 days) after thrombolysis. After the visit, the subjects can leave the group.

In this study, independent blind endpoint evaluators were set up in each research center to evaluate the mRS and Barthel index score 30 and 90 days after thrombolysis.

Primary outcomes

  1. Functional handicap

    Time frame: on the 90th day after treatment

    Proportion of patients achieving a Modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 1 on the 90th day after treatment.

    The Modified Rankin Score (mRS) is a 6 point disability scale with possible scores ranging from 0-5. A separate category of 6 is usually added for patients who expire. The higher the score, the more severe the stroke.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Neurological Improvement

    Time frame: at 24hours and the 7th day after treatment

    The proportion of subjects with NIHSS score ≤1 or the decrease of 4 points or more from the baseline at 24 hours and the 7th day after treatment.

    The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is a 11-item neurologic examination stroke scale used to evaluate the effect of acute cerebral infarction on level of consciousness, eye movements, integrity of visual fields, facial movements,arm and leg muscle strength, sensation, coordination, language,speech and neglect. Each impairment is scored on an ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 2, 0 to 3, or 0 to 4. Item scores are summed to a total score ranging from 0 to 42 (the higher the score, the more severe the stroke).

  2. Proportion of Long-term Improvement

    Time frame: on the 90th day after treatment

    Proportion of patients achieving a mRS of 0 to 2 on the 90th day after treatment.

  3. Ordinary distribution of mRS scores

    Time frame: on the 90th day after treatment

    Ordinary distribution of mRS scores on the 90th day after treatment.

  4. Barthel Index score

    Time frame: on the 90th day after treatment

    Proportion of patients achieving a Barthel Index score ≥95 on the 90th day after treatment.

    The Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) measures functional disability by quantifying patient performance in 10 activities of daily life. These activities can be grouped according to self-care (feeding, grooming, bathing, dressing, bowel and bladder care, and toilet use) and mobility (ambulation, transfers, and stair climbing). 5-point increments are used in scoring, with a maximal score of 100 indicating that a patient is fully independent in physical functioning, and a lowest score of 0 representing a totally dependent bed-ridden state.

Other outcomes

  1. Proportion of subjects died of all cause

    Time frame: within 7 days and 90 days after treatment

    All-cause mortality within 7 days and 90 days after treatment.

  2. Percentage of subjects with symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH)

    Time frame: SITS criteria: within 36 hours after treatment; ECASS III criteria: within 36 hours and 7 days after treatment

    sICH definition: 1. SITS criteria: local or remote parenchymal hematoma type 2 on the imaging scan obtained within 36 hours after treatment, plus neurologic deterioration, as indicated by a score on the NIHSS that was higher by 4 points or more than the baseline value or the lowest value between baseline and 24 hours, or hemorrhage leading to death. 2. The ECASS III criteria:any hemorrhage with neurologic deterioration, as indicated by an NIHSS score that was higher by 4 points or more than the value at baseline or the lowest value in the first 7 days , or any hemorrhage leading to death. In addition, the hemorrhage must have been identified as the predominant cause of the neurologic deterioration (This study will be evaluated and recorded according to the above two standards).

  3. Proportion of subjects with major hemorrhage and clinically relevant non-major hemorrhage(ISTH criteria)

    Time frame: within 90 days after treatment

    ISTH:International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis.

  4. The Proportion of subjects with AE、SAE

    Time frame: within 90 days after treatment

    The Proportion of subjects with AE、SAE within 90 days after treatment.
