A Study to Test if Tenecteplase Helps People to Recover From an Acute Stroke When Given More Than 4.5 Hours After the Person Was Last Seen Well (TENACITY)

August 31, 2026 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

TENACITY - A Phase III, Prospective, Randomized, Open-label, Blinded Endpoint Assessment (PROBE) to Assess Efficacy and Safety of i.v. Tenecteplase vs Standard of Care in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke (Including Wake-up Stroke), Last Known Well >4.5 h With Imaging Evidence of Salvageable Ischemic Tissue

This study is open to adults who had an acute stroke caused by a clot blocking a blood vessel in the brain (acute ischemic stroke). This study is for people who had an acute stroke or woke up with a stroke and were last seen well more than 4.5 hours before joining the study. Participants need to have imaging that shows there is brain tissue that can still be saved. They also should not be planned to receive a procedure to remove the blood clot.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called tenecteplase helps people recover from an acute stroke. Tenecteplase is already used to treat people within 4.5 hours after they had a stroke. This study tests if tenecteplase also helps if it is given more than 4.5 hours after the stroke.

Participants are put into 2 groups randomly, which means by chance. One group gets tenecteplase as a single injection into a vein. The other group receives standard medical practice. Participants have an equal chance of receiving tenecteplase or the standard treatment.

Participants are in the study for about 3 months. In the beginning, participants stay in the hospital for about 1 week. During the study, participants have 7 clinical examinations or visits. The last 2 of these visits will likely be done from home, allowing participants to complete certain assessments remotely. Doctors regularly test participants' recovery using a scale that measures the level of disability or dependence in daily activities. The results are compared between the 2 groups to see whether the treatment works. The doctors also check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion criteria:

  1. Male or female ≥18 years old and at least at the legal age of consent in countries where it is greater than 18 years
  2. Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with ICH-GCP and local legislation prior to admission to the trial
  3. Acute ischaemic stroke (including wake-up stroke) affecting the supratentorial circulation (anterior cerebral artery (ACA), middle cerebral artery (MCA), and posterior cerebral arteries (PCA)) last known well >4.5 h before time of presumed randomisation
  4. Pre-stroke modified Rankin scale (mRS) ≤1
  5. Imaging eligibility by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)computed tomography (CT)

Exclusion criteria:

  1. Intention to proceed to mechanical thrombectomy (MT) at the same site (hospital) of randomisation
  2. Occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA)
  3. High-risk patients (increased risk of thrombolysis related hemorrhage)
  4. Any intracranial hemorrhage detected on non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) or MRI scans
  5. Contra-indication to contrast brain imaging with CT and MRI
  6. Severe stroke as assessed clinically (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) > 25)
  7. Non-disabling minor stroke symptoms (NIHSS ≤5), or rapidly improving symptoms at the discretion of the investigator
  8. Imaging or clinical findings not indicative of acute ischemic stroke or suggesting stroke older than 72 h
  9. Patients scheduled to receive intravenous (i.v.) thrombolysis as standard of care Further exclusion criteria apply.

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

How is the study designed?

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-1 at Day 90
Time Frame: at day 90
The Modified Rankin Scale, MRS, is a tool used to evaluate disability after a stroke. The score ranges from 0 to 6, with higher values indicating greater severity of the disability.
at day 90

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
mRS (ordinal) at Day 90
Time Frame: at day 90
at day 90
Early neurological improvement (reduction in acute - 24-hour National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of ≥8 or value of 0/1)
Time Frame: at baseline/randomisation, 24 hours after randomization
NIHSS is a tool used by healthcare providers to objectively quantify the impairment caused by a stroke. It is composed of 11 items. The score ranges from 0 to a maximum of 42. For each item a score of 0 typically indicates normal function in that specific ability, while a higher score is indicative of some level of impairment.
at baseline/randomisation, 24 hours after randomization
mRS 0-2 at Day 90
Time Frame: at Day 90
at Day 90
Symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage (sICH) as defined by Safety Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke: Monitoring Study (SITS-MOST) criteria at 36 h
Time Frame: after 36 hours

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
