Study summary

This prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intravenous tenecteplase (rhTNK-tPA) in patients with acute ischemic stroke managed under different transfer models. Treatment decisions are made by the treating physicians as part of routine clinical care and are not assigned by the study protocol. Clinical information, imaging findings, laboratory results, treatment data, and functional outcomes will be collected. Participants will be followed for 90 days. The primary effectiveness outcome is the modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days. Safety outcomes include symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 48 hours and all-cause mortality at 90 days.

Study population

The study population will consist of adult patients with acute ischemic stroke who receive intravenous tenecteplase as part of routine clinical care at participating stroke centers in China. Eligible participants will be enrolled prospectively and consecutively after the treatment decision has been made independently by the treating physician. The study protocol does not assign or recommend any treatment or transfer pathway. Clinical, imaging, laboratory, treatment, safety, and functional outcome data will be collected, and participants will be followed for 90 days after tenecteplase administration.

Groups and cohorts

  • Patients Treated With Tenecteplase

    Patients with acute ischemic stroke who receive intravenous tenecteplase as part of routine clinical care and are followed for 90 days. Treatment and transfer decisions are made by the treating physicians and are not assigned by the study protocol.

    Drug: tenecteplase

Interventions

  • Intravenous tenecteplase administered as part of routine clinical care. The decision to administer tenecteplase, including the dose and treatment timing, is made independently by the treating physician and is not assigned by the study protocol.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Modified Rankin Scale Score at 90 Days

    Time frame: 90 days after tenecteplase administration (±7 days)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Participants With an mRS Score of 0-2 at 90 Days

    The percentage of participants with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-2 at 90 days. The mRS ranges from 0 to 6, with lower scores indicating better functional outcomes. A score of 0-2 indicates functional independence.

    Time frame: 90 days after tenecteplase administration (±7 days)

  2. Proportion of Participants With an mRS Score of 0-1 at 90 Days

    The percentage of participants with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-1 at 90 days. A score of 0 indicates no symptoms, and a score of 1 indicates no significant disability despite symptoms.

    Time frame: 90 days after tenecteplase administration (±7 days)

  3. Change in NIHSS Score From Baseline to Day 7 or Discharge

    Change in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score from baseline to day 7 or hospital discharge. The NIHSS ranges from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating greater neurological impairment. A reduction in the score indicates neurological improvement.

    Time frame: Baseline to 7 days after tenecteplase administration (±2 days) or hospital discharge

  4. EQ-5D-5L Score at 90 Days

    Time frame: 90 days after tenecteplase administration (±7 days)

  5. Incidence of Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage Within 48 Hours

    Time frame: Within 48 hours after tenecteplase administration

  6. All-Cause Mortality at 90 Days

    Time frame: Within 90 days after tenecteplase administration

  7. Incidence of Asymptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage Within 48 Hours

    Time frame: Within 48 hours after tenecteplase administration

  8. Incidence of Non-Intracranial Bleeding Complications

    The percentage of participants who experience non-intracranial bleeding complications, including gastrointestinal bleeding, urinary tract bleeding, oral or nasal mucosal bleeding, and subcutaneous hematoma.

    Time frame: From tenecteplase administration through 90 days

  9. Incidence of Non-Bleeding Serious Adverse Events

    The percentage of participants who experience non-bleeding serious adverse events, including cerebral herniation, pneumonia, respiratory failure, circulatory failure, stress ulcer, secondary epilepsy, urinary tract infection, sepsis, renal failure, acute coronary syndrome, venous thrombosis, or psychiatric symptoms.

    Time frame: From tenecteplase administration through 90 days

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Apr 2027; primary completion for Dec 2029, 32 months later.

Of 387 non-industry observational studies under Ischemic Stroke, half reached primary completion within 55 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 25 and three quarters within 167. This study's planned 32 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 432 studies reached it within 51 months; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 115.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
