Alteplase (rt-PA) treatment for ischemic stroke shows real-world effectiveness and safety. This study monitored patients in the Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke (SITS) register to assess outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • European approval of alteplase (rt-PA) for ischemic stroke in 2002 required post-marketing surveillance.
  • The Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke (SITS) registry was established for this monitoring.
  • The SITS Monitoring Study (SITS-MOST) protocol guided this safety and efficacy evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of alteplase (rt-PA) in routine clinical practice for ischemic stroke.
  • To assess the safety profile, including symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage and death, of real-world thrombolytic therapy.
  • To compare these real-world outcomes with data from randomized clinical trials.

Main Methods:

  • Inclusion of all patients treated with alteplase (rt-PA) in the SITS-ISTR web register.

  • Prospective monitoring over a three-year period.
  • Assessment of functional independence at three months post-treatment.
  • Evaluation of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage and mortality rates.

    • Main Results:

    • Real-world data collection on alteplase (rt-PA) treatment for ischemic stroke.
    • Assessment of functional outcomes and safety events in a non-experimental setting.
    • Comparison of clinical practice results against randomized trial data.

    Conclusions:

    • Thrombolytic therapy with alteplase (rt-PA) demonstrated efficacy in improving functional independence.
    • The safety profile in routine practice was evaluated, providing crucial data on hemorrhage and mortality.
    • This real-world evidence supports the use of alteplase (rt-PA) in ischemic stroke management.
