Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The modified Rankin Scale score (mRS) 0-1
The proportion of mRS score 0-1 or a return to baseline if the pre-stroke mRS score ≥2 at 90±14 days. The modified Rankin Scale is a 7-point ordinal scale ranging from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating greater disability (0 = no symptoms; 6 = death).
90±14 days
Secondary Outcomes (8)
Level of disability
90±14 days
The modified Rankin Scale score (mRS) 0-2

Study Arms (1)
Extended time window intravenous tenecteplase
Interventions
Intravenous tenecteplase 0.25 mg/kg (maximum 25 mg) administered as a single IV bolus over 5-10 seconds. In this observational cohort, tenecteplase is the only thrombolytic agent included and there is no active comparator.
Eligibility Criteria
Adult patients (≥18 years) with acute ischemic stroke who receive intravenous tenecteplase more than 4.5 hours after last known well as part of standard clinical care.
You may qualify if:
- \. Age ≥ 18 years;
- \. Clinical diagnosed of acute ischemic stroke;
- \. Time from last known well (LKW) to initiation of intravenous thrombolysis \> 4.5 hours (including wake-up stroke and unwitnessed stroke);
- \. Received intravenous tenecteplase;
- \. Provided written informed consent.
You may not qualify if:
- \. Any condition judged by the investigator to make the participant unsuitable for study participation or follow-up (e.g., psychiatric disorders, cognitive impairment, or emotional disturbances).
