Tenecteplase for very old patients with stroke
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase is safe and effective for people over 80 who have an ischemic stroke and can get treatment within 4.5 hours of symptoms starting.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

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.
This trial tests a new medication called rhTNK-tPA for treating acute ischemic stroke (a clot in the brain) up to 24 hours after symptom onset. The study uses simplified imaging to determine eligibility and aims to help patients recover better outcomes.
This trial tests if the clot-busting drug tenecteplase is safe and effective for people having an ischemic stroke who have recently taken blood thinners (DOACs). If you qualify, you may receive either tenecteplase or a placebo within 24 hours of your last known well time.
This trial tests whether a clot-dissolving drug called tenecteplase can improve recovery for people who had a large-vessel ischemic stroke 4.5 to 24 hours earlier and can’t have a mechanical clot removal procedure in time. If you join, you’ll get either tenecteplase or standard medical care, and the study will track your recovery and safety.
This trial tests a clot-busting drug for people who had a stroke but don't know when it started, like waking up with symptoms. It may help reduce disability if given soon after noticing symptoms.
This trial tests a clot-busting drug called tenecteplase for people who had a stroke affecting the back part of the brain (posterior circulation). It may be an option if you can get treatment between 4.5 and 24 hours after symptoms started.
