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).

  1. The proportion of patients with excellent functional outcome at 90 days

    Timeframe: 90±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.

  1. The proportion of patients with independent functional outcome at 90 days

    Timeframe: 90±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.

  2. Functional handicap

    Timeframe: 90±7 days

    The distribution of the modified Rankin scale(which ranges from 0 \[no symptoms\] to 6 \[death\]) at 90 days

  3. The proportion of patients with neurological improvement at 24 hours

    Timeframe: 22-36 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.

  4. The proportion of patients with neurological improvement at 7 days

    Timeframe: 7 ±2 days

    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.

  5. The change of neurological function at 24 hours

    Timeframe: 22-36 hours

    NIHSS score was used to assess neurological function. Total scores on the NIHSS range from 0 to 42, with higher values reflecting more severe cerebral infarcts.

  6. The change of neurological function at 7 days

    Timeframe: 7 ±2 days

    NIHSS score was used to assess neurological function. Total scores on the NIHSS range from 0 to 42, with higher values reflecting more severe cerebral infarcts.

  7. Self-care ability in daily life

    Timeframe: 90±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

  8. All-cause death within 7 days

    Timeframe: 7 days

  9. All-cause death within 90 days

    Timeframe: 90 days

  10. Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage defined as SITS-MOST

    Timeframe: 22-36 hours

  11. Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage defined as ECASSIII

    Timeframe: 7 days

  12. Any intracranial hemorrhage

    Timeframe: 7 days

  13. Any systematic bleeding event(defined as ISTH)

    Timeframe: 7 days
