Exclude intracranial hemorrhage as the primary cause of stroke signs and symptoms prior to initiation of treatment. Initiate treatment as soon as possible but within 3 hours after symptom onset.Acute Myocardial Infarction: Alteplase is indicated for use in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) for the reduction of mortality and the reduction of the incidence of heart failure.Pulmonary Embolism: Alteplase is indicated for the lysis of acute massive pulmonary embolism, defined as:
Acute pulmonary emboli obstructing blood flow to a lobe or multiple lung segments.
Acute pulmonary emboli accompanied by unstable hemodynamics, e.g., failure to maintain blood pressure without supportive measures.
Anti-platelet drugs, Fibrinolytics (Thrombolytics)
Alteplase works by dissolving clots in the blood vessels. Alteplase binds to fibrin rich clots via the fibronectin finger-like domain and the Kringle 2 domain. The protease domain then cleaves the Arg/Val bond in plasminogen to form plasmin. Plasmin in turn degrades the fibrin matrix of the thrombus, thereby exerting its thrombolytic action.
The interaction of Alteplase with other cardioactive or cerebroactive drugs has not been studied. Anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs increase the risk of bleeding if administered prior to, during, or after Alteplase therapy. In the post-marketing setting, there have been reports of orolingual angioedema in patients (primarily patients with AIS) receiving concomitant angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
Acute Ischemic Stroke: Do not administer Alteplase to treat acute ischemic stroke in the following situations in which the risk of bleeding is greater than the potential benefit [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]:
Current intracranial hemorrhage
Subarachnoid hemorrhage
Active internal bleeding
Recent (within 3 months) intracranial or intraspinal surgery or serious head trauma
Presence of intracranial conditions that may increase the risk of bleeding (e.g., some neoplasms, arteriovenous malformations, or aneurysms)
Bleeding diathesis
Current severe uncontrolled hypertension.
Acute Myocardial Infarction or Pulmonary Embolism: Do not administer Alteplase for treatment of AMI or PE in the following situations in which the risk of bleeding is greater than the potential benefit:
Active internal bleeding
History of recent stroke
Recent (within 3 months) intracranial or intraspinal surgery or serious head trauma
Presence of intracranial conditions that may increase the risk of bleeding (e.g. some neoplasms, arteriovenous malformations, or aneurysms)
Bleeding diathesis
Current severe uncontrolled hypertension.
The following adverse reactions are:
Bleeding
Orolingual Angioedema
Cholesterol Embolization
Reembolization of Deep Venous Thrombi during Treatment for Acute Massive Pulmonary
Embolism.
Pregnancy category B1. Studies with Alteplase have not been performed to determine effect on fertility or reproduction.Use in Lactation: It is not known whether Alteplase is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted by this route, caution should be exercised when Alteplase is administered to breastfeeding women.
Increases the risk of bleeding. Avoid intramuscular injections. Monitor for bleeding. If serious bleeding occurs, discontinue Alteplase.
Monitor patients during and for several hours after infusion for orolingual angioedema. If angioedema develops, discontinue Alteplase.
Cholesterol embolism has been reported rarely in patients treated with thrombolytic agents.
Consider the risk of reembolization from the lysis of underlying deep venous thrombi in patients with pulmonary embolism.
Store lyophilized Alteplase at controlled room temperature not to exceed 30°C, or under refrigeration (2-8°C). Protect the lyophilized material during extended storage from excessive exposure to light. If stored between 2-30°C, Alteplase may be used within 8 hours following reconstitution. Discard any unused solution after administration is complete. Do not use beyond the expiration date stamped on the vial.
Anti-platelet drugs, Fibrinolytics (Thrombolytics)
Alteplase is a serine protease responsible for fibrin-enhanced conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. It produces limited conversion of plasminogen in the absence of fibrin. When introduced into the systemic circulation at pharmacologic concentration, alteplase binds to fibrin in a thrombus and converts the entrapped plasminogen to plasmin. This initiates local fibrinolysis with limited systemic proteolysis.Pharmacodynamics: Following administration of 100 mg Alteplase, there is a decrease (16%-36%) in circulating fibrinogen. In a controlled trial, 8 of 73 patients (11%) receiving Alteplase (1.25 mg/kg body weight over 3 hours) experienced a decrease in fibrinogen to below 100 mg/dL.Pharmacokinetics: Alteplase in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients is rapidly cleared from the plasma with an initial half-life of less than 5 minutes. There is no difference in the dominant initial plasma half-life between the 3-hour and accelerated regimens for AMI. The plasma clearance of alteplase is 380-570 mL/min, primarily mediated by the liver. The initial volume of distribution approximates plasma volume.
Pregnancy Category C. Alteplase is embryocidal in rabbits when intravenously administered in doses of approximately two times (3 mg/kg) the human dose for AMI. No maternal or fetal toxicity was evident at 0.65 times (1 mg/kg) the human dose in pregnant rats and rabbits dosed during the period of organogenesis. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. It is not known whether Alteplase is excreted in human milk. Many drugs are excreted in human milk.
