Brief summary
The objective of the study is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of rhTNK-tPA in acute ischemic stroke patients within 4.5 hours of symptom onset in a real-world clinical setting.
Detailed description
Recombinant human tenecteplase tissue-type plasminogen activator (rhTNK-tPA) has the logistic advantage of a single bolus infusion over recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) which needs a 1-hour infusion. The non-inferiority of rhTNK-tPA compared to rt-PA was proved by two recent randomized controlled clinical trials but the evidence is lacking regarding the real-world effectiveness and safety of rhTNK-tPA. This is a multi-center, observational, retrospective study that enrolled acute ischemic stroke patients treated with rhTNK-tPA thrombolysis in China.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of patients with symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 36 hours | 36 hours | Clinical deterioration or neurological decline causing an increase in NIHSS score of ≥4 points due to intracranial hemorrhage confirmed by brain imaging |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 90 days mRS shift | at 90±7 days | a shift analysis of the distribution of modified Rankin Scale score which measures degree of disability/dependence after a stroke. Patients are graded on the scale of 0-6, with higher scores indicating worse functional outcome. 0 means no symptoms, 6 means death. |
| discharge mRS | at discharge (up to 30 days) | modified Rankin Scale score measures degree of disability/dependence after a stroke. Patients are graded on the scale of 0-6, with higher scores indicating worse functional outcome. 0 means no symptoms, 6 means death. |
| 24 hours NIHSS score | at 24 hours after receiving thrombolysis | The NIH Stroke Scale/Score (NIHSS) quantifies stroke severity based on weighted evaluation findings. Scores range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating greater severity. |
| 90 days mRS 0-1 | at 90±7 days | modified Rankin Scale score measures degree of disability/dependence after a stroke. Patients are graded on the scale of 0-6, with higher scores indicating worse functional outcome. 0 means no symptoms, 6 means death. |
| Rate of patients with any systematic bleeding | during hospital stay (up to 30 days) | Rate of patients with any systematic bleeding requiring blood infusion during hospital stay reflecting short term safety outcome |
| Rate of patients with 90 days mortality | at 90±7 days | Rate of patients with all-cause mortality within 90 days reflecting safety outcome |
| Rate of patients with any intracranial hemorrhage | during hospital stay (up to 30 days) | Rate of patients with any intracranial hemorrhage without significant neurological deterioration on the brain imaging reflecting short term safety outcome |
| discharge NIHSS score | at discharge (up to 30 days) | The NIH Stroke Scale/Score (NIHSS) quantifies stroke severity based on weighted evaluation findings. Scores range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating greater severity. |
