Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous tenecteplase (0.25 mg/kg) compared with standard therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke presenting with mild symptoms-defined as a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≤5 accompanied by persistent unilateral limb weakness or speech impairment within 4.5 hours of onset.

Study Arms (2)
Aspirin combined with clopidogrel
PLACEBO COMPARATORAspirin 100mg combined with clopidogrel 300mg, plus placebo intravenous rhTNK-tPA
rhTNK-tPA (0.25 mg/kg)
EXPERIMENTALrhTNK-tPA (0.25 mg/kg, max 25 mg) with placebo oral aspirin and clopidogrel
Interventions
rhTNK-tPA 0.25mg/kg, the maximum dose does not exceed 25mg: 1 vial is dissolved in 3ml of sterile water for injection to prepare a medicinal solution with a concentration of 5.33mg/ml. Calculate the total amount of the drug according to the weight of participant, and the maximum dose shall not exceed 25 mg. It is administered as a single bolus intravenous injection, and the injection is completed within 5-10 seconds. Additionally, placebo oral aspirin and clopidogrel are given. Aspirin 100 mg and clopidogrel 300 mg are administered within 6 ± 2 hours following thrombolytic therapy.
Dual antiplatelets with aspirin 100mg and clopidogrel 300mg, plus placebo intravenous rhTNK-tPA. Placebo oral aspirin and clopidogrel are administered within 6 ± 2 hours following intravenous placebo.

- Uncontrolled hypertension after active antihypertensive treatment: systolic blood pressure \>180 mm Hg or diastolic \>100 mm Hg;
- +11 more criteria
