Reduced-Dose Thrombolysis in Intermediate-Risk Pulmonary Embolism With High-Risk Features (REDUCTION)

Reduced-Dose Thrombolysis in Intermediate-High Risk Pulmonary Embolism, a Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial

Alteplase, a recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), is commonly used for thrombolytic treatment in patients with high-risk acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), whereas the role of thrombolysis in intermediate-risk PTE remains controversial. This multicenter, randomized controlled trial will compare the efficacy and safety of reduced-dose alteplase (25 mg administered intravenously over 2 hours) plus standard anticoagulation with standard anticoagulation alone in patients with intermediate-risk PTE who have high-risk features.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

In patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE), full-dose systemic thrombolysis has been associated with a reduction in the risk of hemodynamic decompensation but an increased risk of major and intracranial bleeding. Previous studies suggest that reduced-dose thrombolysis may improve right ventricular (RV) function while potentially reducing bleeding complications. However, evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of reduced-dose systemic thrombolysis in patients with intermediate risk PE and additional high-risk clinical features remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of reduced-dose thrombolytic therapy in this patient population.

The REDUCTION study is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, controlled trial with blinded endpoint assessment and long-term follow-up.

Eligible patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive reduced-dose alteplase combined with standard anticoagulation or standard anticoagulation alone. Randomization will be centrally managed and stratified by participating center.

Patients will receive:

  • Reduced-dose alteplase group: Alteplase 25 mg administered by intravenous infusion over 2 hours, followed by standard anticoagulation with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) or unfractionated heparin (UFH) for at least 5 days.
  • Standard anticoagulation group: Standard anticoagulation with LMWH or UFH for at least 5 days without thrombolytic therapy.

The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of reduced-dose alteplase in improving RV function at 48 hours, as measured by the change in the ratio of right ventricular to left ventricular end-diastolic diameters (RVED/LVED) on echocardiography.

The secondary objectives are to evaluate early changes in right ventricular function, clinical deterioration, PE-related mortality, recurrent PE, and bleeding complications. Long-term assessments will evaluate persistent dyspnea, functional status, persistent right ventricular dysfunction, and the occurrence of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)
