Stroke drug tested in late window: hope for more patients?
NCT ID NCT07536165
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a clot-dissolving medicine called tenecteplase is safe and effective for people having a stroke when given more than 4.5 hours after symptoms began. Researchers will follow 3000 patients in China to see how many recover with little or no disability after 90 days. The goal is to learn if this later treatment can help more stroke survivors.
