Study of artery-injected tenecteplase for stroke with medium vessel blockage
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase, given directly into the blocked artery, for people who have had a stroke caused by a medium-sized brain vessel blockage within the last 24 hours. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective in improving recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a stroke from a medium-sized brain vessel blockage, confirmed by imaging, and treatment starts within 24 hours of symptoms beginning
- Your stroke symptoms are at least moderately severe (NIHSS score of 5 or higher)
- A CT scan shows the stroke area is not too large
- You were able to do your daily activities without help before the stroke (mRS score 0 or 1)
- You have not already received clot-dissolving medicine through an IV for this stroke

This trial tests a new clot-busting medicine called tenecteplase, given directly into the blood vessel in the brain, to treat strokes caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. The goal is to see if it can help restore blood flow and reduce disability, especially for patients who can be treated within 24 hours of stroke onset.
This trial tests whether giving a clot-dissolving medication directly into the brain's blood vessels during a standard procedure (mechanical thrombectomy) can improve outcomes for people with a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized artery. It may be an option for patients who arrive at the hospital within 24 hours of symptom onset and have enough salvageable brain tissue.
This trial tests if giving a clot-busting drug (tenecteplase) directly into the brain artery after a successful clot-removal procedure can improve outcomes for people with a major stroke. It is for patients who had a large vessel blockage and received endovascular thrombectomy within 24 hours of symptoms starting.
This trial tests a clot-dissolving drug called tenecteplase given 4.5 to 24 hours after a stroke caused by a blockage in a medium-sized brain artery. It aims to see if waiting longer than usual still helps reduce disability.
This trial tests if a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase can improve outcomes for people with a large vessel stroke when treatment starts 4.5 to 24 hours after symptoms began, and when a mechanical clot removal procedure (EVT) is not available. You would receive tenecteplase or standard medical care to see which works better.
This trial tests a clot-dissolving medicine called tenecteplase for people who had a stroke more than 4.5 hours ago. It may help you recover if given later than usual.
