Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The study objective is to evaluate whether rt-PA is safe and efficient as an add-on to mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke and complete or near-complete recanalization of a proximal vessel occlusion but partial brain reperfusion on cerebral angiogram >50% and <91% brain reperfusion on cerebral angiography (corresponding to mTICI score 2b);Secondary Objective: • The shift analysis of the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), at day 90. The mRS at 90 days will be analyzed using a proportional odds model (POM) that combine into single worst rank the last two categories (5: severe incapacity and 6: death). • Infarct Expansion Ratio on DWI-MRI (continuous variable), at 24h of stroke • Proportion of patients with excellent outcome (mRS 0-1) at day 90 • Proportion of patients with/without infarct expansion (dichotomous variable) • Infarction Volume on DWI-MRI, at 24h of stroke onset;Primary end point(s): The proportion of patients with an improved mTICI score ten (10) minutes after the end of study treatment will be estimated using a log-binomial regression model including the stratification variables, except centre. In the unexpected event that the model does not fit, the Poisson regression model with long-link and robust variance estimator will be used instead;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 10 minutes after the end of the study treatment | — |
