Conditions

Acute Ischemic Stroke, Large Vessel Occlusion, Tenecteplase, Thrombolysis

Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if tenectplase works to acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with onset 4.5-9 hours. It will also learn about the safety of tenectplase in AIS with onset 4.5-9 hours. The main question it aims to answer is: Does tenectplase improve the 90-days functional outcome in participants with acute large vessel occlusion? Researchers will compare tenectplase thrombolysis to non-use to see if tenectplase works to improve the functional outcome in participants with onset 4.5-9 hours. Participants will:\* Receive 0.25mg/kg (max 25mg) tenectplase at admission (after randomization) .\* Receive neurological assessment at admission, Day 5-7 or on hospital discharge (whichever earlier). Audio or video of the assessment may be recorded if possible.\* Receive brain CT + CT angiogram + CT perfusion and MRI after randomization, where the CT scan may be repetitive.

Interventions

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of patients with functional independence outcome (mRS 0-2) at day 9090 days after proceduremodified Rankin scale (range, 0 to 6, with a score of 0 indicating no disability, 1 no clinically significant disability, 2 slight disability, 3 moderate disability but remaining able to walk unassisted, 4 moderately severe disability, 5 severe disability, and 6 death)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The ordinal shift of modified Rankin Scale90 days after procedureThe Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) measures degree of disability/dependence after a stroke, with a score of 0 indicating no disability, 1 no clinically significant disability, 2 slight disability, 3 moderate disability but remaining able to walk unassisted, 4 moderately severe disability, 5 severe disability, and 6 death
Proportion of patients with functional independence outcome (mRS 0-1) at day 9090 days after procedureModified Rankin scale (range, 0 to 6, with a score of 0 indicating no disability, 1 no clinically significant disability, 2 slight disability, 3 moderate disability but remaining able to walk unassisted, 4 moderately severe disability, 5 severe disability, and 6 death)
Recanalization of occlusion site according to the arterial occlusive lesion (AOL) scale24 hours after randomizationIt specifically measures the mechanical success of recanalization at the site of the original occlusion.The scale ranges from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating better recanalization. Grade 0: No recanalization (persistent occlusion). Grade 1: Incomplete recanalization (partial reopening with minimal flow). Grade 2: Partial recanalization (significant flow but residual stenosis or thrombus). Grade 3: Complete recanalization (full restoration of flow with no residual occlusion).
Change in Neurological Function of Participants Assessed by National Institute of Health Stroke ScaleBaseline and 7-days after randomization (or at discharge)Zero indicates no stroke symptoms, 1-4 , 5-15, 16-20, 21-42 indicate minor, moderate, moderate to severe, and severe stroke, respectively.
Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) as defined by the Heidelberg Bleeding Classificationwithin 36 hours after randomizationSICH means any hemorrhage with neurological deterioration, as indicated by an NIHSS score that was higher by ≥4 points than the value at baseline or the lowest value in the first 24 hours , or any hemorrhage leading to death.
