Detaljerad beskrivning
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability worldwide. Posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCIS) accounts for approximately 20% of all ischemic strokes. Due to involvement of critical structures such as the brainstem and cerebellum, PCIS is associated with rapid neurological deterioration, high disability and mortality rates, and often presents with atypical clinical manifestations, leading to frequent misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Consequently, many patients miss the conventional 4.5-hour intravenous thrombolysis window. However, the posterior circulation possesses relatively abundant collateral circulation and stronger ischemic tolerance, resulting in a lower risk of intracranial hemorrhage after thrombolysis and suggesting the potential feasibility of an extended therapeutic window.
In recent years, multiple studies have promoted a paradigm shift in acute ischemic stroke management from a "time window"-based strategy to a "tissue window"-based strategy. Trials including EXTEND, TRACE-III, HOPE, and OPTION demonstrated that intravenous thrombolysis administered within 4.5-24 hours after symptom onset, guided by perfusion imaging selection, could still improve functional outcomes. The EXPECTS study further showed that patients with posterior circulation stroke who were not candidates for endovascular thrombectomy could benefit from alteplase treatment within 4.5-24 hours, with a relatively low risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. Nevertheless, limitations such as a high proportion of mild stroke cases, non-randomized study design, and baseline imbalance indicate that stronger evidence is still required.
Recombinant human prourokinase (rhPro-UK), a novel fibrin-specific thrombolytic agent independently developed in China, has advantages over rt-PA, including lower systemic fibrinolytic activation and reduced bleeding risk, making it potentially more suitable for extended-window thrombolysis. The PROST-2 trial demonstrated that rhPro-UK was non-inferior to rt-PA in efficacy among patients treated within 4.5 hours after acute ischemic stroke onset, while significantly reducing symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and systemic bleeding events, highlighting its favorable safety profile and potential for extended-window application.
Therefore, this study aims to evaluate whether intravenous thrombolysis with rhPro-UK, compared with standard medical therapy, can achieve better 90-day functional outcomes and improved safety in patients with imaging-confirmed posterior circulation acute ischemic stroke presenting within 4.5-24 hours after symptom onset and not scheduled for endovascular thrombectomy.
