Tenecteplase Thrombolytic Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke in China a Real-world, Multicenter, Retrospective, Controlled Study

Huashan Hospital · NCT06078995

This study is testing if a new quick-acting stroke treatment called tenecteplase is safe and effective for people who have had an acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of their symptoms starting.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness and safety of recombinant human tenecteplase tissue-type plasminogen activator (rhTNK-tPA) in patients with acute ischemic stroke who present within 4.5 hours of symptom onset. Unlike traditional treatments that require a lengthy infusion, rhTNK-tPA can be administered as a single bolus, potentially improving treatment efficiency. The study is observational and retrospective, focusing on real-world outcomes from multiple centers across China. It aims to provide insights into the practical application of rhTNK-tPA compared to standard treatments.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include acute ischemic stroke patients eligible for thrombolysis who present within 4.5 hours of symptom onset.

Not a fit: Patients with significant missing data or those who do not meet the eligibility criteria for thrombolysis may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a more efficient and effective treatment option for patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke.

How similar studies have performed: Previous randomized controlled trials have shown the non-inferiority of rhTNK-tPA compared to traditional treatments, but this study aims to explore its effectiveness in real-world settings.
