Summary

This study is open to adults who had an acute stroke caused by a clot blocking a blood vessel in the brain (acute ischemic stroke). This study is for people who had an acute stroke or woke up with a stroke and were last seen well more than 4.5 hours before joining the study. Participants need to have imaging that shows there is brain tissue that can still be saved. They also should not be planned to receive a procedure to remove the blood clot.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called tenecteplase helps people recover from an acute stroke. Tenecteplase is already used to treat people within 4.5 hours after they had a stroke. This study tests if tenecteplase also helps if it is given more than 4.5 hours after the stroke.

Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group gets tenecteplase as a single injection into a vein. The other group receives standard medical practice. Participants have an equal chance of receiving tenecteplase or the standard treatment.

Participants are in the study for about 3 months. In the beginning, participants stay in the hospital for about 1 week. During the study, participants have 7 clinical examinations or visits. The last 2 of these visits will likely be done from home, allowing participants to complete certain assessments remotely. Doctors regularly test participants' recovery using a scale that measures the level of disability or dependence in daily activities. The results are compared between the 2 groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
