Overview
Brief Summary
This open label, randomized controlled trial of tenecteplase versus alteplase for thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke assesses the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase versus alteplase as thrombolytic agents in acute ischemic stroke patients within 4.5 hours of symptom onset. As soon as suspected stroke patient visit AIIMS Jodhpur, imaging is done. Eligible patients, who follows the inclusion criteria and after ruling out the exclusion criterias, undergo randomisation for either tenecteplase or alteplase administration by block randomisation method. After taking Written informed consent from the patient family members, patient will be thrombolysed with either tenecteplase (bolus 0.25 mg per kg ,maximum 25 mg ) or alteplase (0.9 mg/kg maximum 90 mg, with 10 percent of total dose as bolus and remaining dose as infusion over 1 hour ) as per randomisation group. This is followed by repeat imaging after 24 hours and neurological assessment will be done to compare outcomes including NIHSS, mRS and other safety outcomes. Adverse effects will be managed. patient will be assessed in follow up for NIHSS and mRS.
