Tenecteplase for Late-Window Stroke Guided by DWI-FLAIR Mismatch

Официальное название

Tenecteplase Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the 4.5-9-Hour Window Guided by DWI-FLAIR Mismatch: A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

Обзор

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase administered 4.5-9 hours after stroke onset (defined as the time the patient was first found with symptoms, including wake-up stroke and unwitnessed stroke) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) guided by DWI-FLAIR mismatch on MRI. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does tenecteplase improve functional outcomes at 90 days compared with standard treatments in AIS patients administered 4.5-9 hours after stroke onset guided by DWI-FLAIR mismatch? 2. The safety of tenecteplase thrombolysis for AIS patients in the 4.5-9 hours guided by DWI-FLAIR mismatch. Researchers will compare tenecteplase to placebo to see if it is effective and safe for these patients. Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) immediately after randomization: * Tenecteplase group: received tenecteplase, intravenously as a bolus administered over a period of 5 to 10 seconds at a dose of 0.25 mg per kilogram (maximum dose, 25 mg), plus aspirin placebo (300 mg). * Control group: aspirin (300 mg) plus tenecteplase placebo. From day 2 to day 90, all patients will be conformed to the 2023 Chinese Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Подробное описание

Current clinical guidelines recommend intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for eligible AIS patients within 4.5 hours of symptom onset. However, approximately 67 to 75% of patients present after 4.5 hours after stroke onset or with an unknown time of onset. CT perfusion (CTP) and perfusion-diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have demonstrated that potentially viable brain tissue may persist beyond 4.5 hours after stroke onset. Recent trials, such as EXTEND, TRACE III, and the HOPE study, suggest that IVT can improve functional outcomes in AIS patients with salvageable brain tissue identified beyond 4.5 hours and up to 24 hours, using advanced perfusion imaging. Nonetheless, due to the high cost of perfusion software in developing countries, extended-window thrombolysis has not been widely implemented in many stroke centers. Therefore, it is crucial to develop alternative strategies to guide IVT in patients beyond 4.5 hours.

In recent years, the mismatch between a visible acute ischemic lesion on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and the absence of a corresponding hyperintensity on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) has been recognized as a predictor of symptom onset within 4.5 hours before imaging. The WAKE-UP trial demonstrated that among AIS patients with unknown time of onset (last known well \>4.5 hours) and DWI-FLAIR mismatch, IVT administered within 4.5 hours after symptom recognition significantly improved functional outcomes. However, approximately 30% of AIS patients exhibit DWI-FLAIR mismatch between 4.5 and 9 hours after onset. Whether these patients can benefit from thrombolysis remains uncertain.

TRUST-MISMATCH is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical. We want to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase administered 4.5-9 hours after stroke onset (defined as the time the patient was first found with symptoms, including wake-up stroke and unwitnessed stroke) in AIS patients guided by DWI-FLAIR mismatch on MRI.
