Rescue Thrombolysis for Medium Vessel Occlusion (RESCUE-TNK)

Rescue Thrombolysis for Medium Vessel Occlusion (RESCUE-TNK): a Prospective, Randomized, Open-label, Blinded End Point, and Multicenter Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Jun 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The best reperfusion strategy for medium-sized vessel occlusion (MeVO) is not well established. Given the proven treatment effect of intra-arterial thrombolysis in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO), the investigators hypothesized that intra-arterial tenecteplase (TNK) could increase the recanalization rate of MeVO and thus improve clinical outcome. The current study aimed to explore the safety and efficacy of intra-arterial TNK in patients with MeVO.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Other illness

  • Patients with intracranial hemorrhage;
  • Coagulation disorders, tendency for systemic hemorrhagic, thrombocytopenia (\<100,000/mm3);
  • After mechanical thrombectomy, severe and sustained (\> 5 minutes) uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure over 180mmHg or diastolic blood pressure over 105 mmHg);
  • Patients with contraindication or allergy to any ingredient of study medication;
  • The estimated life expectancy is less than 6 months due to other serious diseases;
  • Other conditions unsuitable for this clinical study as assessed by researcher.

Lab values

  • Severe hepatic or renal dysfunction, increase in ALT or AST (more than 2 times of upper limit of normal value), increase in serum creatinine (more than 1.5 times of upper limit of normal value) or requiring dialysis;

Other

  • Patients with completed infarction in the territory of the MeVO on non-contrast CT;
  • Pregnancy, plan to get pregnant or active lactation;

Who the study is looking for

  • Age ≥18 years;
  • Medium vessel occlusion (MeVO), referring to M2-3 of MCA; A1-3 of ACA; P1-3 of PCA; PICA, AICA or SCA (including primary, distal embolism in the same region after thrombectomy or concurrent embolism in other regions).
    • Primary MeVO as detected by the first DSA examination or secondary MeVO after mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion;
    • MeVO causes neurological deficits in motor strength, language, vision etc;
    • Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy cannot be performed as assessed by the investigator;
    • Absence of parenchymal hematoma on CT images performed in the angio suite.
  • Within 24 hours from symptom onset;
  • Signed informed consent by patient or patient's legally authorized representative.
