Abstract

Background: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) and fibrinolytic or thrombolytic therapy are common treatments for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Primary percutaneous coronary intervention is more effective than thrombolytic therapy, but fibrinolytic therapy is still a preferable option for patients with limited access to healthcare. Alteplase is a tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) used to treat acute myocardial infarction, acute ischemic stroke, and pulmonary embolism.

Objective: This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of Altelyse (bio-similar Alteplase, Arena Life Science Company, Tehran, IRAN) versus the brand name Actilyse^® (Boehringer Ingelheim, GERMANY) in patients with STEMI.

Methods: In this phase 3, double-blind, randomized trial, we assigned patients with STEMI to receive Altelyse or Actilyse, an intravenous bolus of 15 mg followed by an infusion of 0.75 mg/kg over 30 min (with a maximum dose of 50 mg) and continued with 0.50 mg/kg over 60 min (with a maximum dose of 35 mg). The primary endpoint was total ST-segment resolution (STR) in all leads with ST-segment elevations after 90 min of receiving fibrinolytic therapy.

Results: A total of 153 STEMI patients received Actilyse (79 patients) or Altelyse (74 patients). The mean total STR in all leads with ST elevation after 90 min was - 45.89 ± 32.92% and - 37.11 ± 35.28% in the Altelyse and Actilyse groups, respectively (the mean difference [95% confidence interval]: - 8.77 [- 19.92, 2.36]; p-value for non-inferiority: 0.0004).

Conclusions: Among patients with STEMI, Altelyse was non-inferior to Actilyse with respect to STR after 90 min.

期刊介绍： Clinical Drug Investigation provides rapid publication of original research covering all phases of clinical drug development and therapeutic use of drugs. The Journal includes: -Clinical trials, outcomes research, clinical pharmacoeconomic studies and pharmacoepidemiology studies with a strong link to optimum prescribing practice for a drug or group of drugs. -Clinical pharmacodynamic and clinical pharmacokinetic studies with a strong link to clinical practice. -Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies in healthy volunteers in which significant implications for clinical prescribing are discussed. -Studies focusing on the application of drug delivery technology in healthcare. -Short communications and case study reports that meet the above criteria will also be considered. Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in Clinical Drug Investigation may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge, but non in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.
