New treatment option for Ischemic Stroke, Acute
Official title Post-thrombectomy Intra-arterial Tenecteplase for Acute manaGement of Non-retrievable Thrombus and No-reflow in Emergent Stroke
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05892510
What this study is testing
What is Intra-arterial tenecteplase injection at the completion of thrombectomy?
Intra-arterial tenecteplase injection at the completion of thrombectomy is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for ischemic stroke, acute.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Multicentre, prospective, Multi-arm Multi-stage (MAMS) seamless phase 2b/3 interventional randomized placebo-controlled double-blinded parallel-assignment (2 arms with 1:1 randomization) efficacy and safety trial to test intra-arterial tenecteplase at the completion of thrombectomy versus best practice in participants with anterior circulation LVO receiving mechanical thrombectomy within 24 hours of symptoms onset.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
