Multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase III clinical trial. At the clinical sites, patients with acute ischemic stroke within 4.5-24 hours of symptom onset will be randomized to receive a single bolus injection of the recombinant non-immunogenic staphylokinase (Fortelyzin®, LLC "SuperGene", Russia) or placebo.
The current guidelines recommended intravenous thrombolysis as the first-line treatment for acute large vessel occlusion of anterior circulation stroke within 4.5 hours of stroke onset. However, a majority of patients arrive in the hospital outside the 4.5-hour time window, who could not receive intravenous thrombolysis. In 2020, the non-immunogenic staphylokinase was registered in Russia for the acute ischemic stroke treatment within 4,5 h after the onset of symptoms. In the FRIDA randomized clinical trial the non-immunogenic staphylokinase was non-inferior to alteplase for patients with acute ischaemic stroke. Mortality, symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage, and serious adverse events did not differ significantly between groups. Non-immunogenic staphylokinase is easy to administer with a rapid single bolus of 10 mg regardless patients' bodyweight, simplifying clinical use. In 2024, the non-immunogenic staphylokinase has been included in the updated Russian clinical guidelines for the acute ischemic stroke treatment. A rapid (10 s) single bolus of the non-immunogenic staphylokinase in patients with acute ischemic stroke may provide significant advantages over a one-hour alteplase administration in the more rapid reperfusion in the first 24 hours after thrombolysis and a greater number of good functional outcomes. It can be assumed that the non-immunogenic staphylokinase usage in patients with acute ischemic stroke outside the 4.5-hour therapeutic window will lead to the restoration of collateral blood flow in the penumbra in comparison with standard medical management. Therefore, FRIDA-CT trial is aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of the non-immunogenic staphylokinase within the time window of 4.5-24 hours, wake-up stroke or no witness stroke in patients who had an acute ischaemic stroke with salvageable tissue due to large vessel occlusion. In the multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase III clinical trial patients who had an acute ischaemic stroke due to anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (internal carotid artery, middle cerebral artery M1 and M2 segments) within 4.5-24 hours from last known well (including wake-up stroke and no witness stroke) and with salvageable tissue (ischaemic core volume \<70 mL, mismatch ratio ≥1.8 and mismatch volume ≥15 mL) based on CT perfusion or MRI perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) will be included and randomised to the non-immunogenic staphylokinase, 10 mg (single bolus) regardless patient's bodyweight or placebo group. Patients who are intended for direct thrombectomy will be excluded from the trial. Follow-up period will be 90 days.
