About this trial

Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, killing nearly 7 million people every year. Acute ischemic stroke is caused by focal cerebral hypoperfusion, usually due to embolism or atherosclerotic disease . Ischemic strokes account for 60-70% of all strokes worldwide and are severely debilitating, drawing considerable attention due to their high prevalence.The majority of studies comparing the efficacy and safety of teneplase and alteplase are predominantly randomized controlled trials with limited representation from real-world studies.The aim of this study is to compare the safety, efficacy and economic benefits of recombinant human TNK tissue plasminogen activator (tenecteplase, rhTNK-tPA, TNK) and recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (alteplase, rtPA) in clinical practice. This study aimed to establish a foundation for refining intravenous thrombolytic therapy tailored to various patient profiles and to guide clinicians in selecting the most suitable thrombolytic treatment options.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

None

Disqualifiers

Any absolute contraindication to thrombolysis in the "Chinese Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke 2023" 2.Allergy to TNK or alteplase 3.Participation in another clinical trial within the previous 3 months. 4.Other conditions deemed inappropriate for participation in this study.

Trial population

Patients with acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours last known well (including wake-up stroke and no witness stroke )were included in the study.

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Tenecteplase

    Other intervention

    The enrolled patients received treatment with tenecteplase (rhTNK-tPA) at a dosage of 0.25 mg/kg, up to a maximum of 25 mg, based on their clinical condition and the preferences expressed by the patients and their families.

  • Alteplase

    Other intervention

    The enrolled patients received treatment with alteplase (rtPA) at a dosage of 0.9 mg/kg, up to a maximum of 90 mg, based on their clinical condition and the preferences expressed by the patients and their families.

Treatment groups

6,000 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: TNK group1 intervention
Group B: rtPA group1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

mRS

The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of excellent functional outcome at 90±7 days (modified Rankin Scale score, mRS 0 or 1).The modified Rankin Scale is commonly used to measure neurological recovery after stroke on a scale of 0-6, with higher scores associated with worse outcomes .

Time frame
90±7 days after enrollment

Secondary outcomes

1

NIHSS score

Incidence of neurological improvement at 72h after treatment (proportion of subjects with NIHSS score ≤1 point or 8 points or more lower than baseline )

Time frame
72h after treatment
2

proportion of sICH

The safety outcome is the proportion of sICH within 36 hours (as defined by The European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study III criteria)

Time frame
36h after treatment
3

rate of death

Secondary safety end points related to Rate of death from any cause within and Rate of systemic bleeding within 90 days.

Time frame
90 days after enrollment
4

mRS

Improvement of mRS Scores at 90±7 days (shift analysis)

Time frame
90±7 days after enrollment

Other outcomes
