About this trial

A phase III randomized, multi-center, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial that will examine two strategies for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke associated with a large vessel anterior occlusion within 4.5 hours from symptoms onset: direct endovascular treatment vs. endovascular treatment preceded by intravenous tenecteplase.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Acute ischemic stroke where a patient is eligible for IV thrombolytic treatment within 4.5 hours of stroke onset.

No significant pre-stroke functional disability (mRS ≤ 1)

Baseline NIHSS scores obtained before randomization must be equal to or higher than 6 points

Age equal ≥ 18 and =< 85 years

Disqualifiers

Known hemorrhagic diathesis, coagulation factor deficiency, or oral anticoagulant therapy with INR > 1.7 or direct oral anticoagulants such as thrombin antagonists (ex: dabigatran) or X factor (ex: rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban) at the least 48 hours.

Baseline platelet count < 100.000/μL

Baseline blood glucose of < 50mg/dL or > 400mg/dl

Severe, sustained hypertension (SBP > 185 mm Hg or DBP > 110 mm Hg) NOTE: If the blood pressure can be successfully reduced and maintained at the acceptable level using AHA guidelines recommended medication (including iv antihypertensive drips), the patient can be enrolled.
