浙江大学附属第二病院の樓敏教授らは、中国26施設・372人を対象に、発症4.5~24時間後の急性虚血性脳卒中患者に対するアルテプラーゼ(t-PA)静注療法の有効性を検証した(JAMA掲載)。従来、t-PAは4.5時間以内でのみ有効とされてきたが、本試験では血栓回収術が予定されていない患者に限り、より遅い時間帯での治療効果を調査。90日後に機能的自立を達成した割合は、アルテプラーゼ群40%に対し対照群26%で有意に改善が確認された(リスク比1.52)。一方で、32時間以内の症候性頭蓋内出血はアルテプラーゼ群3.8%、対照群0.5%とリスク増加が認められた。ただし、90日以内の死亡率は両群とも約11%で差はなかった。研究は、t-PAの治療可能時間を延長できる可能性を示し、今後の脳卒中治療指針の改訂に重要なエビデンスを提供する成果である。

Key Points

Question Does intravenous alteplase administered 4.5 to 24 hours after acute ischemic stroke onset improve outcomes in patients with salvageable brain tissue and no initial plan for thrombectomy?

Findings In this randomized clinical trial of 372 patients, 40% receiving alteplase achieved functional independence at 90 days vs 26% with standard care, a statistically significant difference.

Meaning In patients with salvageable brain tissue identified by perfusion imaging who did not initially receive thrombectomy, alteplase given 4.5 to 24 hours after acute ischemic stroke onset may improve functional outcomes.

Abstract

Importance The safety and efficacy of intravenous thrombolytics beyond 4.5 hours after ischemic stroke onset remain inadequately studied.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous alteplase administered 4.5 to 24 hours after stroke onset in patients with salvageable brain tissue, regardless of the presence of large vessel occlusion.

Design, Setting, and Participants This randomized, open-label, blinded end-point trial was conducted at 26 stroke centers across China. A total of 372 patients with acute ischemic stroke and salvageable brain tissue identified by perfusion imaging were enrolled between June 21, 2021, and June 30, 2024 (final follow-up October 2, 2024). Eligibility criteria included stroke onset (or the midpoint between last known well and symptom recognition if onset was unknown) of 4.5 to 24 hours prior to presentation, and no initial plan for endovascular thrombectomy. Data were analyzed from December 2024 to February 2025.

Interventions Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) using a minimization algorithm to receive intravenous alteplase (0.9 mg/kg; maximum dose, 90 mg; n = 186) or standard medical treatment (n = 186).

Main Outcomes and Measures The primary efficacy outcome was functional independence, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 1 at 90 days. Safety outcomes included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 36 hours and all-cause mortality within 90 days.

Results Among 372 patients who were enrolled (median [IQR] age, 72 [64-80] years; 160 [43%] women), all completed the trial. The primary outcome occurred in 75 of 186 patients (40%) in the alteplase group and 49 of 186 (26%) in the control group (adjusted risk ratio, 1.52 [95% CI, 1.14-2.02]; P = .004; unadjusted risk difference, 13.98% [95% CI, 4.50%-23.45%]). The incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was higher with alteplase at 3.8% compared with 0.51% with standard treatment (adjusted risk ratio, 7.34 [95% CI, 1.54-34.84]; P = .01; unadjusted risk difference, 3.23% [0.28%-6.19%]), and mortality was 11% in both groups (adjusted risk ratio, 0.91 [95% CI, 0.52-1.62]; P = .76; unadjusted risk difference, 0% [95% CI, -6.30% to 6.30%]).

Conclusions and Relevance In patients with acute ischemic stroke with salvageable brain tissue identified by perfusion imaging who did not initially receive thrombectomy, intravenous alteplase administered 4.5 to 24 hours after onset provided functional benefit, despite an increase in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.
