Improving Neurological Outcome for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion With Sufficient Recanalization After Thrombectomy by Intraarterial Tenecteplase (INSIST-IT)

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2025-02-15
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The potential benefit of intraarterial tenecteplase in acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) patients with successful reperfusion following endovascular treatment (EVT) has not been studied. The current study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of intraarterial tenecteplase in acute BAO patients with successful reperfusion after EVT.

• Phase: Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: General Hospital of Shenyang Military Region
• Collaborator: Cerebrovascular Disease Collaboration & Innovation Alliance of Liaoning
• Treatments: Tenecteplase

• PC-ASPECTS ≥ 6 on CT;

• Absence of parenchymal hematoma on CT images done in the angio suite immediately after the procedure;
