Platelet Membrane–Coated Tenecteplase for Arterial Clots

Official title: Platelet Membrane-coated Tenecteplase to Improve Thrombolytic Efficacy by Targeting Thrombus

Run by The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University · NCT07712445 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether a platelet membrane–coated form of tenecteplase can dissolve arterial clots in humans and whether blood from patients on antiplatelet therapy affects its clot-busting ability.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18–75 years old; CAD patients undergoing coronary angiography or interventional therapy who are on stable aspirin and ticagrelor therapy, or healthy volunteers meeting the criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients not experiencing a thrombolytic response or with contraindicating factors may derive no benefit from this specific approach.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the thrombolytic effect of platelet membrane–coated tenecteplase (PM-TNK) on human arterial thrombi using ex vivo samples. It also explores how plasma from patients taking antiplatelet therapy might inhibit PM-TNK activity. The study involves collecting venous or arterial blood to assess thrombolysis and potential interactions with prior antiplatelet treatment. Eligible participants include adults with suspected coronary artery disease undergoing angiography or interventional procedures, as well as healthy volunteers, with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure safety and data integrity. Conducted at The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University, this work aims to inform potential future clinical applications of PM-TNK.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, PM-TNK could offer a new approach to dissolving arterial clots, potentially improving treatment options for patients with arterial thrombosis.

How similar studies have gone: Prior thrombolytic strategies using targeted or coated enzymes have shown potential in preclinical or early studies, but this approach with PM-TNK is at an exploratory stage.
