Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Intra-arterial tenecteplase injection at the completion of thrombectomy
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Placebo comparator: Placebo - Intra-arterial bolus of placebo (0.9% Sodium Chloride solution) representing standard of care (no intra-arterial thrombolytic treatment).

Experimental: Intra-arterial tenecteplase injection at the completion of thrombectomy - intra-arterial tenecteplase (0.062mg/kg, maximum 6.25mg) administered as a bolus at the completion of thrombectomy through a microcatheter at the site of the initial-but-now-retrieved intracranial occlusion or in direct contact with the residual thrombus

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Adult participants (age=18 years) presenting with ischemic stroke with arterial LVO on CT/MR Angiogram of the intracranial internal carotid or middle cerebral artery (MCA) first segment (M1) or proximal second segment (M2) committed to thrombectomy using standard criteria within 24 hours of onset:
* For 0-6 hours of symptom onset: Presence of arterial occlusion as defined above and ASPECTS=3 on NCCT
* For 6-24 hours of symptom onset: Additional imaging criteria on CTP or MRI perfusion of core volume <100ml.
* Qualifying CT/MR within 4hrs of randomisation (repeat CT for transferred participants required if >4hr)
* Pre-stroke Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of =2 (mild pre-existing disability permitted)
* Local legal requirements for consent have been satisfied.
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
* Intracranial hemorrhage identified by CT or MRI
* ASPECTS 0-2 on NCCT
* CTP or MRI perfusion ischemic core volume >100ml if presenting within 6-24 hours from symptoms onset
* Anticipated endovascular stenting required for intracranial or extracranial atherosclerotic stenosis/occlusion.
* More than six retrieval attempts in the same vessel
* Alteplase being infused within 30 minutes (~5x half-life) of anticipated trial drug administration
* Contraindication to imaging with contrast agents
* Any condition (eg.mid-arterial phase early venous filling) that in the judgment of investigators could impose hazards if study therapy is initiated
* Pregnant women.
* Current participation in another intervention research study that includes experimental interventions beyond standard-of-care.
* Anticoagulation. INR =1.7 if on warfarin, and dabigatran reversal by idarucizumab are permitted.
* Other standard contraindications to thrombolysis apart from time window.
* Known terminal illness such that the participants would not be expected to survive a year.
* Planned withdrawal of care or comfort care measures.
