Overview

Brief Summary

To date, the benefit of intravenous thrombolysis is confined within 4.5 hours of onset for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients without advanced neuroimaging selection. Unpublished pilot EXIT-BT (EXtending the tIme window of Thrombolysis by ButylphThalide up to 6 Hours after onset) suggest the safety, feasibility and potential benefit of intravenous tenecteplase (TNK) in AIS within 4.5 to 6 hours of onset. The current study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of TNK for AIS within 4.5 to 6 hours of onset.

Arms & Interventions

Control group

standard stroke care based on national guideline

Intervention: Tenecteplase

Tenecteplase group

intravenous thrombolysis with tenecteplase

Intervention: Tenecteplase

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

proportion of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-1

Time Frame: 90±7 days

The minimum and maximum values of mRS are 0 and 6, respectively; higher score mean a worse outcome

Secondary Outcomes

  • all-cause mortality(90±7 days)
  • intracranial hemorrhage(24 (-6/+12) hours)
  • any bleeding event(24 (-6/+12) hours)
  • ordinal distribution of modified Rankin Scale (mRS)(90±7 days)
  • change in National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score(10±2 days)
  • occurrence of early neurological improvement (ENI)(24 (-6/+12) hours)
  • major systemic bleeding event(24 (-6/+12) hours)
  • proportion of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2(90±7 days)
  • symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH)(24 (-6/+12) hours)
  • new stroke or other vascular event(s)(90±7 days)
