Fortelyzin in the treatment of minor acute ischemic stroke according to a subanalysis of the observational study FORPI registry

Abstract
The question of whether intravenous thrombolytic therapy (ITT) is appropriate for patients with a minor stroke (NIHSS score < 5) remains a matter of debate. Fortelysin is a thrombolytic agent used to treat ischemic stroke.
Objective: to assess the safety and efficacy of Fortelyzin in patients who have suffered a minor stroke in real-world clinical practice, based on data from a subanalysis of the FORPI registry.
Material and methods. The FORPI registry is an open-label, prospective, non-interventional, observational study of Fortelyzin in patients with acute ischemic stroke. We analyzed the safety and efficacy of Fortelyzin in a group of patients with minor stroke characterized by an NIHSS < 5. Safety outcomes were the number of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) according to ECASS III and SITS-MOST definitions, as well as all-cause mortality at day 90. The efficacy outcome was a functional independence, defined by modified Rankin scale (mRS) score of 0–2 points at day 90.
Results. The analysis included 836 patients with an NIHSS < 5 points. The median age was 64 [56; 72] years, and the median NIHSS score at admission was 4 [3; 4] points. SICH according to ECASS III definition was observed in three patients of 836 (0.4 %), and according to SITS-MOST definition, in four patients of 836 (0.5 %). All-cause mortality at day 90 was 2.2 % (18/836). The proportion of patients with functional independence (mSR of 0–2 points) at day 90 reached in 88 % (737/836) of patients.
Conclusion. The FORPI registry provides compelling evidence that early intensive rehabilitation using Fortelyzin is characterised by a high level of safety and efficacy in patients who have suffered a minor stroke.
