Tirofiban: After endovascular treatment, tirofiban is infused at a rate of 0.4 μg/kg/min for 30 minutes, followed by a maintenance infusion at 0.1 μg/kg/min until 24 hours postoperatively.
Placebo: Following endovascular treatment, patients receive normal saline placebo, with the dosage calculated in the same manner as that of tirofiban in the experimental group.
Study summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate whether adjunctive tirofiban therapy combined with endovascular treatment (EVT) improves neurological outcomes in patients with acute large vessel occlusion due to large-artery atherosclerosis. Patients will be randomized to receive either tirofiban or matching placebo after EVT. The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of patients achieving functional independence (modified Rankin Scale 0-2) at 90±7 days, while the safety endpoint is the probability of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhagewithin 48 hours after randomization.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Proportion of patients with mRS 0-2 — 90±7 days Proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2, Modified Rankin Scale(0-6), A lower MRS score indicates better functional status for the patient.
