A Multicenter, Three-Arm, Open-Label, Endpoint-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Optimal Duration of Early Tirofiban After Intravenous Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke (INSTANT-2)
A Multicenter, Three-Arm, Open-Label, Endpoint-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Optimal Infusion Duration of Early Tirofiban Treatment After Intravenous Thrombolysis in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke (INSTANT-2)
Acute ischemic stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality among dults in China. Although intravenous thrombolysis serves as first-line reperfusion therapy, nearly half of patients fail to achieve vascular recanalization. The reocclusion rate ranges from 14% to 34%, and many patients are left with residual neurological deficits. Early antiplatelet therapy initiated after thrombolysis may sustain persistent reperfusion and improve prognosis. However, current guidelines generally recommend delaying antiplatelet treatment until 24 hours post-thrombolysis due to bleeding risks, and direct evidence for the optimal initiation timing remains lacking. Tirofiban is a rapidly acting, short-half-life, reversible glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist. Previous studies indicate its potential benefits and acceptable safety when administered after intravenous thrombolysis.
This is a multicenter, three-arm, open-label, endpoint-blinded randomized controlled trial. A total of 1482 non-cardioembolic patients without large or medium vessel occlusion and with residual neurological deficits (NIHSS ≥4) after thrombolysis will be enrolled. Participants will be randomly allocated to the tirofiban 24-hour group, tirofiban 48-hour group, or blank control group. The primary outcome is the proportion of patients with excellent functional outcome defined as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0-1 at 90 days. Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and neurological outcomes will also be evaluated. The study aims to determine the optimal duration of tirofiban treatment after thrombolysis and provide high-level evidence for precise interventions in the acute phase of stroke.
