Intra-Arterial thrombolysis after SUCCESSful angiographic recanalization in acute large-vessel occlusion stroke of the anterior circulation (IA-SUCCESS): a multicentre, randomised, clinical trial protocol.

Intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT) following successful mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients with anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion (LVO) improves cerebral tissue reperfusion and consequently clinical outcome, but has to be validated in non-Asian populations. We hypothesised that IAT with alteplase versus no IAT leads to a better clinical outcome in patients with anterior circulation LVO stroke who have successful angiographic recanalisation.

Intra-Arterial thrombolysis after SUCCESSful angiographic recanalization in acute large-vessel occlusion stroke of the anterior circulation (IA-SUCCESS) trial is a phase 3 investigator-initiated, multicentre, randomised, open-label, blinded-endpoint (PROBE) clinical trial with a health economic evaluation conducted in France. Patients with acute ischaemic stroke due to anterior circulation LVO within 24 h of stroke onset and successful angiographic reperfusion (defined as extended Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score 2b-3) after intravenous thrombolysis alone, MT alone or both will be randomised in two balanced parallel groups (1:1) to receive either IAT with alteplase (0.225 mg kg-1 and a maximum of 20 mg) injected in the ipsilateral internal carotid artery or no IAT. A total of 626 patients will be included.

The primary outcome is the functional outcome on the modified Rankin Scale at 90 (±15) days. Standard secondary clinical outcomes are assessed at 24 (±6) h, 5-7 days, 90 (±15) days and 12 (±1) months. Safety outcomes include mortality at 90 (±15) days and intracranial haemorrhage.

The IA-SUCCESS trial will provide high-quality randomised data on the clinical efficacy and safety of intra-arterial alteplase following successful angiographic recanalisation in European patients with ischaemic stroke due to anterior circulation LVO intended for MT.
