About this trial

The DATE-AGING study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial investigating low-dose tenecteplase in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke. Its primary objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of low-dose tenecteplase in elderly patients within 4.5 hours of acute ischemic stroke onset.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers
