Clinical Trial: Repeated Intravenous Thrombolysis for Ischemic Stroke With Medium to Large Vessel Occlusion Presenting Within 4.5 Hours of Onset With Tenecteplase (RITIS-TNK2)

U.S., Jan. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07375966) titled 'Repeated Intravenous Thrombolysis for Ischemic Stroke With Medium to Large Vessel Occlusion Presenting Within 4.5 Hours of Onset With Tenecteplase (RITIS-TNK2)' on Jan. 22.

Brief Summary: While intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) within 4.5 hours is the standard medical reperfusion therapy, its efficacy is limited, particularly for large or medium vessel occlusions (LVO/MeVO), with low recanalization rates for IVT with rt-PA. The newer thrombolytic agent, tenecteplase (TNK), offers practical advantages-including single bolus administration, a longer half-life, and potentially higher fibrin specificity-and has been shown to be non-inferio...
