rhPro-UK in Acute Ischaemic Stroke Within 4.5 Hours of Stroke Onset Trial 2(PROST-2)

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Acute Ischemic Stroke

Registration Number
NCT05700591
Lead Sponsor
Tasly Biopharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.
Brief Summary

Intravenous thrombolysis is the first-line therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke within 4·5 hours of symptom onset, and recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (alteplase) is the preferred thrombolytic agent for this purpose.

RhPro-UK is a specific plasminogen activator. rhPro-UK only acts on occlusive thrombus and has little effect on hemostatic thrombus. In addition, rhPro-UK does not form covalent complexes with protease inhibitors in plasma, so the concentrations of rhpro-UK and protease inhibitors in the blood do not decrease compared with alteplase. Therefore, rhPro-UK therapies have a potential advantage of less systemic bleeding in treated subjects. Data from several previous studies suggest that rhPro-UK is efficacious when used to treat patients with acute myocardial infarction. On April 2, 2011, rhPro-UK injection was approved by the National Medical Products Administration to treat acute myocardial infarction. Since then, rhPro-UK has been widely used to treat myocardial infarction in China.

Since 2016, a phase 2 clinical trial was carried to explore the dosing of rhPro-UK in patients with acute ischemic stroke, followed by another study with a sample size of 680 patients to initially validate the efficacy and safety of the proposed dose of 35mg. The results of these studies suggested that rhPro-UK was effective, and there were no safety concerns. To further prove the efficacy and safety of rhPro-UK in patients with acute ischemic stroke, investigators conducted this phase 3 study (PROST-2).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The proportion of patients with excellent functional outcome at 90 days90±7 days

A score of 0 or 1 on the modified Rankin scale(which ranges from 0 \[no symptoms\] to 6 \[death\]) at 90 days indicated an excellent functional outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
All-cause death within 7 days7 days
Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage defined as ECASSIII7 days
The proportion of patients with neurological improvement at 24 hours22-36 hours

A reduction in NIHSS score of ≥4 or a score of 0-1 indicated neurological improvement. Total scores on the NIHSS range from 0 to 42, with higher values reflecting more severe cerebral infarcts.

Self-care ability in daily life90±7 days

The Barthel Index(which ranges from 0\[complete dependence on help with activities of daily living\] to 100\[independence\]) of 95-100 at 90 days

The proportion of patients with independent functional outcome at 90 days90±7 days

A score of 0-2 on the modified Rankin scale(which ranges from 0 \[no symptoms\] to 6 \[death\]) at 90 days indicated an independent functional outcome.
