Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of intracoronary rhTNK-tPA or Tirofiban in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and high thrombus burden. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is the efficacy of intracoronary rhTNK-tPA non-inferior to intracoronary Tirofiban for the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in patients wiht high thrombus burden?
  • Does intracoronary rhTNK-tPA increase the incidence of bleeding events?

This multicenter RCT study plans to enroll 300 patients, who are randomly divided into two groups: intracoronary rhTNK-tPA or Tirofiban by 1:1. The primary efficacy endpoint was post-PCI corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC). Major adverse events (death, recurrent myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure) were observed at 1 year follow-up.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age 18-75 years old;
  • STEMI within 12 hours of onset;
  • TIMI flow grade 0-2 or TIMI thrombus grade ≥4 after thrombus aspiration or balloon dilation
  • Radial artery access

Exclusion Criteria:

  • A functional coronary collateral supply (Rentrop grade≥2) to the infarctrelated artery
  • Known or suspected old myocardial infarction of target vessels
  • Rescue PCI
  • Cardiogenic shock
  • Contraindications to Tirofiban or rhTNK-tPA
  • Severe hepatic and renal insufficiency (alanine aminotransferase ≥5 upper limit of normal; estimated glomerular filtration rate <30ml/min/1.73m2, or on dialysis)
  • Prolonged (> 10 minutes) cardiopulmonary resuscitation
  • Definite mechanical complications (including ventricular septal perforation, or rupture of the Papillary tendon bundle, or rupture of the left ventricular free wall)
  • Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or respiratory failure
  • Severe infection
  • Neurological disorders
  • Malignant tumors or other pathophysiological conditions with an expected survival time of less than 1 year
  • Pregnant or lactating women

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
