CHinese Acute Tissue-Based Imaging Selection for Lysis In Stroke -Tenecteplase

Chinese Acute Tissue-based Imaging Selection for Lysis in Stroke: a Prospective, Multicentre, Randomized, Open-label, Rater-blinded, Randomized Trial

To select the best dosage of tenecteplase for acute ischemic stroke patients (onset time 4.5-24h) of large vessel occlusion using early combined CT/MR imaging outcomes

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients presenting with anterior circulation acute ischaemic stroke
2. Time from onset to treatment 4.5h-24h
3. Patient's age is ≥18 years
4. Pre-stroke mRS score of <= 2
5. Clinically significant acute neurologic deficit
6. Vessel occlusion or severe stenosis ( ICA, MCA-M1/M2, ACA) on computed tomography angiography (CTA)/MRA
7. Multimodal CT/magnetic resonance imaging: perfusion lesion volume (DT > 3 s) to infarct core volume ratio (rCBF<30% or diffusion-weighted imaging lesion) >1.2, absolute difference >10 ml, and ischemic core volume <70ml
8. Informed consent was obtained from patients.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Intracranial hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage identified by CT or MRI
2. Rapidly improving symptoms (patient with an NIHSS score decrease to < 4 at randomization)
3. Pre-stroke mRS score of > 2
4. Contraindication to imaging with CT/magnetic resonance imaging with contrast agents
5. Infarct core >1/3 middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory
6. Platelet count < 100x10^9/L
7. Symptoms were caused by low blood glucose < 2.7 mmol/l
8. Severe uncontrolled hypertension, i.e. systolic blood pressure >= 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >=100 mmHg
9. Current use of warfarin with a prolonged prothrombin time (INR > 1.7 or prothrombin time > 15s)
10. Use of low molecular weight heparin within 24 hours
11. Use of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) within 48 hours
12. Use of glycoprotein IIb - IIIa inhibitors within 72 hours.
13. Arterial puncture at noncompressible site in previous 7 days
14. Major surgery in previous 14 days which poses risk in the opinion of the investigator
15. Recent gastrointestinal or urinary tract hemorrhage (within previous 21 days)
16. Significant head trauma or prior stroke in previous 3 months
17. History of previous intracranial hemorrhage, intracranial neoplasm, arteriovenous malformation, or aneurysm. Risks were considered by the investigator
18. Hereditary or acquired haemorrhagic diathesis
19. Active internal bleeding
20. Symptoms suggestive or recent acute pancreatitis, active gastrointestinal ulcer
21. Severe liver disease, including liver failure, cirrhosis, portal hypertension and active hepatitis
22. Pregnancy
23. Various dying diseases with life expectancy ≤3 months
24. Other conditions in which doctors believe that participating in this study may be harmful to the patient
25. Patients participated in any observational trial in 30 days
26. Allergic to the test drug and its ingredients
