A Phase 2, Prospective, Two Cohort, Dose-escalation, Safety and Feasibility Study of Thrombolysis for Minor Ischemic Stroke With Proven Acute Symptomatic Occlusion Using TNK-tPA
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Tenecteplase for Ischemic Stroke. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This trial will enroll patients that have been diagnosed with a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke that has occurred within the past 12 hours. Anyone diagnosed with a minor stroke faces the possibility of long-term disability and even death, regardless of treatment. Stroke symptoms such as weakness, difficulty speaking and paralysis may improve or worsen over the hours or days immediately following a stroke. The purpose of this research trial is to study the effects of a clot-dissolving drug, tenecteplase (TNK-tPA), as a treatment for patients who arrive within twelve hours from stroke onset. This study is attempting to see if TNK-tPA given through a vein in the arm (intravenous) to patients is a safe treatment for stroke patients. Neither the safety nor the effectiveness of this treatment has been proven yet. This trial will be conducted at several site in Canada. Dr Michael Hill and Dr. Shelagh Coutts are the Principal Investigators of this trial, coordinated at the University of Calgary, Foothills Medical Centre.

Interventions
Tenecteplase will be given to the patient as an intravenous bolus over 1- 2 minutes within 90 minutes of the first slice of the CTA. This is an open-label trial, all patients will receive tenecteplase, either tier 1 or tier 2 dosage.
