Intravenous thrombolysis of ischemic stroke-Current status
Nervenarzt. 2023 May 30. doi: 10.1007/s00115-023-01500-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIntravenous thrombolysis (IVT) treatment with alteplase (rtPA) is an essential part of the routine treatment of patients with ischemic stroke since its introduction in the late 1990s. Rapid treatment is of essential importance. For patients with an unclear time window, various mismatch concepts have been established to identify salvageable brain tissue prior to IVT. Numerous official contraindications for rtPA are not evidence-based; for example, current data from observational studies show that systemic thrombolytic treatment is possib...

Bioequivalence of Intravenous Alteplase from Two Different Manufacturing Processes in Healthy Male Volunteers: Results from a Two-Stage, Adaptive-Design Study
ConclusionsThe results show that alteplase exposure was virtually identical for the formulations tested, and statistical evaluation demonstrated bioequivalence of the formulations. Both formulations of alteplase were well tolerated by the subjects at the single intravenous doses in the trial.Trial RegistrationTrial registration number: NCT04419493, 2019-004932-40 (EudraCT Number).

Cost-effectiveness of endovascular thrombectomy with alteplase versus endovascular thrombectomy alone for acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion

Print 2023 May-Jun.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Recent randomized trials have suggested that endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) alone may provide similar functional outcomes as the current standard of care, EVT combined with intravenous alteplase treatment, for acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion. We conducted an economic evaluation of these 2 therapeutic options.METHODS: We constructed a decision analytic model with a hypothetical cohort of 1000 patients to assess the cost-effectiveness of EVT with intravenous alteplase treatment versus EVT alo...
