Design

2 arms
Study design
RandomizedOpen-label
  • Reduced-Dose Alteplase

    Alteplase 0.6 mg/kg (max 50 mg) IV over 15 minutes

  • Full-Dose Alteplase

    Alteplase 1.5 mg/kg (max 100 mg) IV bolus + infusion over 2 hours

Who it enrols

Adults with acute high-risk pulmonary embolism verified by imaging or bedside echo, at high risk for early death, without catastrophic PE, contraindications to thrombolysis, or prior reperfusion treatment.

Endpoints

Primary

  • Incidence of composite efficacy endpoint

  • Incidence of severe clinically significant bleeding

Secondary

  • All-cause mortality

  • Pulmonary embolism-related mortality

  • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and/or VA-ECMO

  • Incidence of clinical deterioration

  • Lack of clinical improvement assessed by SCAI SHOCK stage and oxygen requirement

  • Time to clinical stabilization based on predefined hemodynamic and respiratory criteria

  • Incidence of recurrent pulmonary embolism

  • Initiation of invasive or non-invasive mechanical ventilation
