About this trial
A phase III, multicentre, prospective, randomised, open-label, blinded-endpoint clinical trial will evaluate two thrombolytic agents for the treatment of acute large vessel occlusion stroke within 4.5 hours from symptoms onset: intravenous tenecteplase bridging mechanical thrombectomy vs. intravenous alteplase bridging mechanical thrombectomy.
