About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Ischemic Stroke, Acute focused on measuring Tenecteplase, Fibrinolytic agents, Thrombectomy, No-reflow

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Adult participants (age≥18 years) presenting with ischemic stroke with arterial LVO on CT/MR Angiogram of the intracranial internal carotid or middle cerebral artery (MCA) first segment (M1) or proximal second segment (M2) committed to thrombectomy using standard criteria within 24 hours of onset: For 0-6 hours of symptom onset: Presence of arterial occlusion as defined above and ASPECTS≥3 on NCCT For 6-24 hours of symptom onset: Additional imaging criteria on CTP or MRI perfusion of core volume <100ml. Qualifying CT/MR within 4hrs of randomisation (repeat CT for transferred participants required if >4hr) Pre-stroke Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of ≤2 (mild pre-existing disability permitted) Local legal requirements for consent have been satisfied. Exclusion Criteria: Intracranial hemorrhage identified by CT or MRI ASPECTS 0-2 on NCCT CTP or MRI perfusion ischemic core volume >100ml if presenting within 6-24 hours from symptoms onset Anticipated endovascular stenting required for intracranial or extracranial atherosclerotic stenosis/occlusion. More than six retrieval attempts in the same vessel Alteplase being infused within 30 minutes (~5x half-life) of anticipated trial drug administration Contraindication to imaging with contrast agents Any condition (eg.mid-arterial phase early venous filling) that in the judgment of investigators could impose hazards if study therapy is initiated Pregnant women. Current participation in another intervention research study that includes experimental interventions beyond standard-of-care. Anticoagulation. INR ≤1.7 if on warfarin, and dabigatran reversal by idarucizumab are permitted. Other standard contraindications to thrombolysis apart from time window. Known terminal illness such that the participants would not be expected to survive a year. Planned withdrawal of care or comfort care measures.

Arm Label

Placebo

Intra-arterial tenecteplase injection at the completion of thrombectomy

Arm Description

Intra-arterial bolus of placebo (0.9% Sodium Chloride solution) representing standard of care (no intra-arterial thrombolytic treatment).

intra-arterial tenecteplase (0.062mg/kg, maximum 6.25mg) administered as a bolus at the completion of thrombectomy through a microcatheter at the site of the initial-but-now-retrieved intracranial occlusion or in direct contact with the residual thrombus

Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Proportion of participants with sICH defined as parenchymal haematoma type 2 (PH2) or SAH/IVH within 36 hours combined with neurological deterioration leading to an increase of NIHSS ≥4 from baseline or leading to death
All cause mortality
Proportion of participants with death due to any cause
Quality of life assessment on EQ-5D
EQ-5D score
