About this trial

The benefit of intravenous tenecteplase for acute ischemic stroke with unknown time of onset, e.g. wake-up stroke, remains uncertain. This randomized study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of intravenous tenecteplase following non-contrast CT screening for acute ischemic stroke with unknown time of onset.

Eligibility criteria

Disqualifiers

Intracranial hemorrhage confirmed by skull CT, or history of intracranial hemorrhage.

Rapid neurological improvement with NIHSS <6 at randomization.

Allergy to tenecteplase.

Use of vitamin K antagonist with INR >1.7, use of heparin or low molecular heparin in the past 24 hours, or use of direct oral anticoagulants in the past 48 hours.
