inhaled recombinant non-immunogenic staphylokinase vs placebo in patients with covid-19 - forrif trial

Conditions: COVID-19

Summary: objective: to evaluate the tolerability, safety and efficacy of inhaled usage of the recombinant non-immunogenic staphylokinase (fortelyzin®) vs placebo in patients with covid-19.

fortelyzin® (the active substance forteplase) is a recombinant non-immunogenic staphylokinase with high fibrinselective thrombolytic activity. in a multicentre, randomised clinical trial in patients with st-segment elevation myocardial infarction (fridom), non-immunogenic staphylokinase was administered as a single intravenous bolus of 15 mg in all patients, regardless of bodyweight, and showed similar high reperfusion patency and fewer minor bleeding events compared with tenecteplase, as well as the absence of neutralising iggs. results of the multicentre, randomised clinical trial in patients with an acute ischaemic stroke (frida) suggested that the non-immunogenic staphylokinase administrated as a single intravenous bolus of 10 mg in all patients within the 4-5 h after the onset of symptoms is non-inferior to alteplase. mortality, symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage, and serious adverse events did not differ between treatment groups (gusev ei, martynov myu, nikonov aa et al. non-immunogenic recombinant staphylokinase versus alteplase for patients with acute ischaemic stroke 4-5 h after symptom onset in russia (frida): a randomised, open label, multicentre, parallel-group, non-inferiority trial. lancet neurol. 2021; 20(9): 721-728). complex coagulation and hematologic abnormalities, including significantly elevated d-dimer and fibrin/fibrinogen values are the distinct features identified in severe sars-cov-2. in the list of antithrombotic therapy drugs in conjunction with anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy in patients with covid-19, published by liverpool drug interactions group, fibrinolytic therapy is also included. so the main objectives of this study are to assess the tolerability, safety and efficacy of inhaled usage of fibrinolytic agent the recombinant non-immunogenic staphylokinase (fortelyzin®) in patients with covid-19.
