Brief Summary

This study is open to Chinese adults who had an ischaemic stroke, which means that blood vessels in the brain are blocked. To resolve blood clots, people in the study get either tenecteplase or alteplase within 4 hours and 30 minutes after stroke. The purpose of this study is to compare how tenecteplase and alteplase improve peoples' recovering of physical activity. Alteplase is standard of care. Tenecteplase is a modified variant of alteplase that is easier to administer and is approved to treat heart attack. This study is to find out whether tenecteplase is as good as alteplase in people with ischaemic stroke. Participants are equally put into 2 treatment groups by chance. Participants in one group get tenecteplase as a single injection into a vein. Participants in the other group get alteplase as an injection into a vein (10% of the dose) and the remainder as an infusion over 1 hour. Participants are in the study for about 3 months. They are in the hospital for the first week after treatment. Then they visit the study site 1 and 3 months after treatment. At these visits, peoples' ability to independently carry out daily activities is assessed. Scores for physical activity are compared between both treatment groups. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants With Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score of 0 or 1

    Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is a standardized measure that describes the extent of disability after a stroke. The mRS is a single item scale. It increases from 0 (no symptoms at all) to 6 (death). It was measured at Day 90. Percentages are rounded to the nearest digits.

    At Day 90±7 days

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Percentage of Participants With Major Neurological Improvement (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) Score of 0 or Improvement of at Least 4 Points Compared With Baseline

    At 24 hours

  • Percentage of Participants With Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score of 0-2

    At Day 90

  • Change From Baseline of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) Score

    At baseline and at Day 90

  • Distribution of Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

    At Day 90

  • Percentage of Participants With Barthel Index Score ≥95

    up to 90 days

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Tenecteplase treatment group

EXPERIMENTAL

Chinese patients with AIS were screened (visit 1) and randomised (visit 2a) when admitted. Patients received a single dose of tenecteplase, 0.25 mg/kg via intravenous (iv) bolus no later than 4.5 hours (h) after symptom onset. Visits on Day 1 consisted of two further visits (Visit 2b and Visit 2c) that were performed 1 h and 2 h after the start of the treatment. Visits 3 to 5 for continuous follow-up were performed on day 2, 8 and 30 after the start of the treatment. Treated patient performed a 90-day follow-up visit after the treatment to complete the study.

Drug: tenecteplase

Alteplase active control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Chinese patients with AIS were screened (visit 1) and randomised (visit 2a) when admitted. Patients received a single dose of alteplase, 0.9 mg/kg, 10% via intravenous (iv) bolus and the remaining 90% of the total dose administered as an iv infusion over 1 h no later than 4.5 hours (h) after symptom onset. Visits on Day 1 consisted of two further visits (Visit 2b and Visit 2c) that were performed 1 h and 2 h after the start of the treatment. Visits 3 to 5 for continuous follow-up were performed on day 2, 8 and 30 after the start of the treatment. Treated patient performed a 90-day follow-up visit after the treatment to complete the study.

Drug: alteplase
