About

This study is aiming to test the hypothesis that efficacy of rhTNK-tPA was not inferior to rt-PA with respect to the 30-day MACCE rates after fibrinolytic therapy for STEMI patients. It is a multicenter, randomized, open, parallel, active-controlled, non-inferiority trial.

Full description

The study includes screening and baseline, randomization & intervention, in-hospital visit, at 30±3 days visit after fibrinolytic therapy.

Following an initial eligibility screening assessment, all eligible patients who have signed the informed consent will be randomly assigned by an interactive Web-based central system for fibrinolytic therapy with either rhTNK-tPA or rt-PA. The standard care should be given to all patients except for the study interventions.

Prior to fibrinolytic administration, enoxaparin (30-mg intravenous) or Un- Fractionated Heparin (maximum 4000U, intravenous) should be administered, combined with antiplatelet therapy consisted of both clopidogrel and aspirin in a 300-mg loading dose followed by routine dosage.

Successful reperfusion according to the clinical evidence (EKG) should be assessed after fibrinolytic therapy.TIMI flow should be assessed for those patients with 24 hours coronary angiography.

MACCE and bleeding events should be followed up and documented during the study until 30 days after fibrinolytic therap. An independent adjudication committee will judge the major endpoint events.
