The optimal dose, safety, and efficacy of intra-arterial tenecteplase after successful reperfusion by endovascular thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion (LVO) is unknown.
To evaluate the dose-dependent adverse events and signals of efficacy of intra-arterial tenecteplase in LVO after successful reperfusion with thrombectomy, defined as an Extended Treatment in Cerebral Infarction score of 2b-3.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This open-label, blinded-outcome assessment trial, incorporating a 14 + 8 dose-escalation (phase 1b, nonrandomized) and dose-expansion (phase 2a, randomized) design, was conducted in China between 2023 and 2024, with follow-up continuing through November 2024. This was a multicenter clinical trial including patients with LVO and successful reperfusion within 24 hours of last known well.
In phase 1b, intra-arterial tenecteplase, 0.0313, 0.0625, 0.1250, 0.1875 mg/kg; in phase 2a, intra-arterial tenecteplase 0.0313 or 0.0625 mg/kg, or control (without intra-arterial thrombolysis).
The primary outcome in phase 1b was symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) within 24 hours. The primary outcome in phase 2a was 90-day no-disability outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0-1).
A total of 205 patients (phase 1b: 48, phase 2a: 157) were enrolled and analyzed. The median (IQR) age was 71 (60-77) years, and 113 (55.1%) were male. In phase 1b, 1 of 14 and 2 of 22 patients with sICH were observed at dose tiers 0.0313 and 0.0625 mg/kg, respectively. Three of 12 patients had sICH at dose tier 0.1250 mg/kg, exceeding the prespecified safety threshold (P = .04). In phase 2a, eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive tenecteplase, 0.0313 mg/kg (n = 46) and 0.0625 mg/kg (n = 46), and 65 patients composed the control group. The primary outcome occurred in 22 of 65 patients (33.8%) in the control group, 17 of 46 patients (37.0%) in the tenecteplase, 0.0313 mg/kg, group (adjusted risk ratio [RR] vs control, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.54-1.35; P = .50), and 20 of 46 patients (43.5%) in the tenecteplase, 0.0625 mg/kg, group (adjusted RR, 1.15; 95% CI, 0.73-1.80; P = .55). No significant difference in the safety outcomes was observed among the 3 groups.
Results of this phase 1 and 2 randomized clinical trial reveal that adjunctive intra-arterial tenecteplase dosages of 0.0313 mg/kg or 0.0625 mg/kg after successful reperfusion in patients with anterior circulation LVO showed adequate safety to advance to larger trials to determine the potential therapeutic benefits.

对于大血管闭塞(LVO)患者,在血管内血栓切除术成功再灌注后,动脉内使用替奈普酶的最佳剂量、安全性和疗效尚不清楚。
评估动脉内使用替奈普酶在血栓切除术成功再灌注后的LVO患者中的剂量依赖性不良事件和疗效信号,再灌注成功定义为脑梗死扩展治疗评分2b - 3分。
设计、设置和参与者:这项开放标签、盲法结局评估试验采用了14 + 8剂量递增(1b期,非随机)和剂量扩展(2a期,随机)设计,于2023年至2024年在中国进行,随访持续至2024年11月。这是一项多中心临床试验,纳入了最后一次已知状态良好后24小时内发生LVO且再灌注成功的患者。
在1b期,动脉内使用替奈普酶,剂量分别为0.0313、0.0625、0.1250、0.1875 mg/kg;在2a期,动脉内使用替奈普酶剂量为0.0313或0.0625 mg/kg,或对照组(不进行动脉内溶栓)。
1b期的主要结局是24小时内出现症状性颅内出血(sICH)。2a期的主要结局是90天无残疾结局(改良Rankin量表评分0 - 1分)。
共纳入205例患者(1b期:48例,2a期:157例)并进行分析。中位(IQR)年龄为71(60 - 77)岁,113例(55.1%)为男性。在1b期,在0.0313和0.0625 mg/kg剂量组中,分别有1例和2例sICH患者;在0.1250 mg/kg剂量组中,12例患者中有3例出现sICH,超过了预先设定的安全阈值(P = 0.04)。在2a期,符合条件的患者被随机分配接受替奈普酶,0.0313 mg/kg(n = 46)和0.0625 mg/kg(n = 46),65例患者组成对照组。对照组65例患者中有22例(33.8%)发生主要结局,替奈普酶0.0313 mg/kg组46例患者中有17例(37.0%)(与对照组相比调整风险比[RR]为0.85;95%CI,0.54 - 1.35;P = 0.50),替奈普酶0.0625 mg/kg组46例患者中有20例(43.5%)(调整RR为1.15;95%CI,0.73 - 1.
