Ischemic Stroke, Acute

Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether intra-arterial (IA) rhTNK-tPA thrombolysis can improve neurological outcomes in acute large vessel occlusion patients after successful mechanical thrombectomy (MT) recanalization between 4.5- 24 hours from symptom onset. Participants enrolled will be randomly assigned to study or control arm with a 1:1ratio. Study group will receive IA rhTNK-tPA thrombolysis (0.125 mg/kg, Max 12.5mg) plus best medical management, and control receive best medical management alone.

Interventions

DRUGRecombinant Human tenecteplase Tissue-type Plasminogen Activator (rhTNK-tPA)

The administration of rhTNK-tPA will be infused constant and slowly over 15min (0.125 mg/kg, Max 12.5mg) through a microcatheter.

Inclusion criteria

Clinical Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age \>18 years; 2. NIHSS ≥2; 3. Onset of symptoms to baseline CT imaging time: 4.5 to 24 hours, including wake-up stroke and unwitnessed stroke; Time of onset of symptoms is defined as last known well (LKW); 4. Pre-stroke mRS score 0-1; 5. Signed informed consent from patient or their health care proxy. Neuroimaging Inclusion Criteria: 1. CTA/MRA proven intracranial artery occlusion: Intracranial Internal Carotid Artery (ICA)、M1 of Middle cerebral artery (MCA)、dominant M2 of MCA; 2. ASPECTS ≥6 on non-contrast CT (NCCT) scan or DWI MRI; 3. CT perfusion or MR perfusion: ischemic infarct core \<70ml, mismatch ratio≥1.2, mismatch volume ≥15ml; 4. Treated with MT resulting in an eTICI score 2b50-3 at end of the procedure. Patients with an eTICI score 2b50-3 on the diagnostic cerebral angiography before the onset of MT are also eligible for the study.
