Brief Summary

To date, the benefit of intravenous thrombolysis is confined within 4.5 hours of onset for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients without advanced neuroimaging selection. Unpublished pilot EXIT-BT (EXtending the tIme window of Thrombolysis by ButylphThalide up to 6 Hours after onset) suggest the safety, feasibility and potential benefit of intravenous tenecteplase (TNK) in AIS within 4.5 to 6 hours of onset. The current study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of TNK for AIS within 4.5 to 6 hours of onset.
