Prospective, multi-center, randomized, controlled, double blinded trial with an adaptive design and population enrichment. The randomization employs a 1:1 ratio of intravenous thrombolysis with Tenecteplase (TNK) versus placebo in patients who suffer a non-large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke between 4.5 and 12 hours from time last seen well (TLSW) and with a clinical-radiological mismatch or evidence of salvageable brain tissue on perfusion imaging. Randomization will be done under a minimization process using age (≤70 vs. >70 years), baseline NIHSS (≤10 vs. >10), therapeutic window (4.5-9 or 9-12 hours after TLKW), randomization scenario and clinical site. For the primary endpoint, subjects will be followed for 90 days post-randomization.
A phase III, randomized, multi-center clinical trial that will examine whether treatment with intravenous TNK is superior to placebo in patients who suffer a non-large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke within 4.5-12 hours from time last seen well. The randomization employs a 1:1 ratio of intravenous thrombolysis with Tenecteplase (TNK) versus placebo in patients who suffer a non-large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke between 4.5 and 12 hours from time last seen well (TLSW) and with a clinical-radiological mismatch or evidence of salvageable brain tissue on perfusion imaging.
