RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: There are limited data available demonstrating the safety and efficacy of intravenous tenecteplase versus alteplase in patients with acute ischemic stroke in the posterior circulation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a post-hoc analysis of the Alteplase compared to Tenecteplase (AcT) pragmatic, phase 3, registry-linked randomized controlled trial. Patients with any posterior circulation vessel occlusion on baseline imaging were included. Study outcomes included 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-1, mRS 0-2, ordinal mRS, death within 90 days, 24 h symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage (sICH) and successful reperfusion/recanalization. Mixed effects regression adjusting for age, sex and stroke severity was used to analyze differences in outcomes between patients administered tenecteplase vs. alteplase. Further, sensitivity analysis was conducted for basilar artery occlusion (BAO) alone. RESULTS: Of 1577 patients, 136 (8.6 %, 77:alteplase, 59:tenecteplase) had posterior circulation stroke. Baseline characteristics were similar[median age 71 (IQR 60-81) vs. 72 (IQR 65-82) years, 57.1 % vs. 67.8 % males, median baseline NIHSS 7 (IQR 4-12) vs. 7 (IQR 4-16) in alteplase vs. tenecteplase arms, respectively]. 28 patients (20.6 %, 16:alteplase, 12:tenecteplase arm) underwent EVT. The median 90-120 days mRS was 2 (IQR 1-4). There were no differences between alteplase and tenecteplase for 90-d mRS 0-1 (adjRR 0.93;95 %CI 0.63-1.36), 90-day mRS 0-2 (adjRR 0.95; 95 %CI 0.72-1.26), sICH (RR 0.65; 95 %CI 0.06-7.02) and mortality (RR 1.21; 95 %CI 0.61-2.38). Successful reperfusion eTICI 2b-3 and successful recanalization rAOL 2b-3 was achieved in 23/28 (82 %, 12:alteplase, 11:tenecteplase) and in 16/28 (57 %, 14:alteplase, 12:tenecteplase), respectively. Similar results were seen in 31 patients (22.8 %) with BAO. CONCLUSION: Intravenous tenecteplase has a similar effect on outcome as alteplase, without increased safety concerns in patients with acute posterior circulation strokes.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Early ischemic changes on baseline imaging are commonly evaluated for acute stroke decision-making and prognostication. AIMS: We assess the association of early ischemic changes on clinical outcomes and whether it differs between intravenous tenecteplase and Alteplase. METHODS: Data are from the phase 3, Alteplase compared to Tenecteplase (AcT) trial. Subjects with anterior circulation stroke were included. Early ischemic changes were assessed using the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (ASPECTS). Efficacy outcomes included modified Rankin scale (mRS) 0-1, mRS 0-2, and ordinal mRS at 90 days. Safety outcomes included 24-h symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), any hemorrhage on follow-up scan, and 90-day mortality rate. Mixed-effects logistic regression was used to assess the association of ASPECTS (continuous and categorical (0-4 vs 5-7 vs 8-10)) with outcomes and if these associations were modified by thrombolytic type after adjusting for age, sex, and baseline stroke severity. RESULTS: Of the 1577 patients in the trial, 901 patients (56.3%; median age 75 years (IQR 65-84), 50.8% females, median National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) 14 (IQR 17-19)) with anterior circulation stroke were included. mRS 0-1 at 90 days was achieved in 1/14 (0.3%), 43/160 (14.7%), and 252/726 (85.1%) in the ASPECTS 0-4, 5-7, and 8-10 groups respectively. Every one-point decrease in ASPECTS was associated with 2.7% and 1.9% decrease in chances of mRS 0-1 and mRS 0-2 at 90 days, respectively, and 1.9% chances of increase in mortality at 90 days. Subgroup analysis in endovascular thrombectomy (EVT)-treated population showed similar results. Thrombolytic type did not modify this association between ASPECTS and 90-day mRS 0-1 (P-interaction 0.75). There was no significant interaction by thrombolytic type with any other outcomes. CONCLUSION: Similar to prior studies, we found that every one-point decrease in ASPECTS was associated with poorer clinical and safety outcomes. This effect did not differ between alteplase and tenecteplase. DATA ACCESS STATEMENT: Data shall made available on reasonable request from the PI (BMM).

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Interhospital transfer for patients with stroke due to large vessel occlusion for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has been associated with treatment delays. METHODS: We analyzed data from Optimizing Patient Treatment in Major Ischemic Stroke With EVT, a quality improvement registry to support EVT implementation in Canada. We assessed for unadjusted differences in baseline characteristics, time metrics, and procedural outcomes between patients with large vessel occlusion transferred for EVT and those directly admitted to an EVT-capable center. RESULTS: Between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2021, a total of 6803 patients received EVT at 20 participating centers (median age, 73 years; 50% women; and 50% treated with intravenous thrombolysis). Patients transferred for EVT (n=3376) had lower rates of M2 occlusion (22% versus 27%) and higher rates of basilar occlusion (9% versus 5%) compared with those patients presenting directly at an EVT-capable center (n=3373). Door-to-needle times were shorter in patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis before transfer compared with those presenting directly to an EVT center (32 versus 36 minutes). Patients transferred for EVT had shorter door-to-arterial access times (37 versus 87 minutes) but longer last seen normal-to-arterial access times (322 versus 181 minutes) compared with those presenting directly to an EVT-capable center. No differences in arterial access-to-reperfusion times, successful reperfusion rates (85% versus 86%), or adverse periprocedural events were found between the 2 groups. Patients transferred to EVT centers had a similar likelihood for good functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score, 0-2; 41% versus 43%; risk ratio, 0.95 [95% CI, 0.88-1.01]; adjusted risk ratio, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.91-1.05]) and a higher risk for all-cause mortality at 90 days (29% versus 25%; risk ratio, 1.15 [95% CI, 1.05-1.27]; adjusted risk ratio, 1.14 [95% CI, 1.03-1.28]) compared with patients presenting directly to an EVT center. CONCLUSIONS: Patients transferred for EVT experience significant delays from the time they were last seen normal to the initiation of EVT.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The safety and efficacy of tenecteplase in patients with ischemic stroke due to medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) are not well studied. We aimed to compare tenecteplase with alteplase in stroke due to MeVO. METHODS: Patients with baseline M2-middle cerebral artery (MCA), M3/M4-MCA, P2/P3/P4-posterior cerebral artery (PCA), A2/A3/A4-anterior cerebral artery (ACA) occlusions from the Alteplase Compared to Tenecteplase (AcT) trial were included. Primary outcome was the proportion of 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-1. Secondary outcomes were 90-day mRS 0-2, ordinal mRS, mortality, quality of life measures (EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level, EuroQol visual analog scale), and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Initial and final successful reperfusion were reported in patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). RESULTS: Among 1,558 patients with available baseline computed tomography angiography; 455 (29.2%) had MeVO of which 27.5% (125/455) were proximal M2; 16.3% (74/455) were distal M2; 35.2% (160/455) were M3/M4; 7.5% (34/455) were A2/A3/A4; and 13.6% (62/455) were P2/P3/P4 occlusions. EVT was performed in 87/455 (19.1%) patients. mRS 0-1 at 90 days was achieved in 37.9% in the tenecteplase versus 34.7% in the alteplase group (adjusted risk ratio [aRR] 1.07; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.91-1.25). Rates of 90-day mRS 0-2, sICH, and mortality were similar in both groups. No statistical difference was noted in initial successful reperfusion rates (13.0% vs. 7.5%) among the 87 patients who underwent endovascular thrombectomy. However, final successful reperfusion was higher in the tenecteplase group (71.7% vs. 60.0%, aRR 1.29, 95% CI 1.04-1.61). CONCLUSION: Intravenous tenecteplase had comparable safety, functional outcomes and quality of life compared to intravenous alteplase among patients with MeVO. Among those treated with EVT, tenecteplase was associated with higher successful reperfusion rates than alteplase.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Individuals with minor ischaemic stroke and intracranial occlusion are at increased risk of poor outcomes. Intravenous thrombolysis with tenecteplase might improve outcomes in this population. We aimed to test the superiority of intravenous tenecteplase over non-thrombolytic standard of care in patients with minor ischaemic stroke and intracranial occlusion or focal perfusion abnormality. METHODS: In this multicentre, prospective, parallel group, open label with blinded outcome assessment, randomised controlled trial, adult patients (aged ≥18 years) were included at 48 hospitals in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Finland, Ireland, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, and the UK. Eligible patients with minor acute ischaemic stroke (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score 0-5) and intracranial occlusion or focal perfusion abnormality were enrolled within 12 h from stroke onset. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1), using a minimal sufficient balance algorithm to intravenous tenecteplase (0·25 mg/kg) or non-thrombolytic standard of care (control). Primary outcome was a return to baseline functioning on pre-morbid modified Rankin Scale score in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population (all patients randomly assigned to a treatment group and who did not withdraw consent to participate) assessed at 90 days. Safety outcomes were reported in the ITT population and included symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage and death. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02398656, and is closed to accrual. FINDINGS: The trial was stopped early for futility. Between April 27, 2015, and Jan 19, 2024, 886 patients were enrolled; 369 (42%) were female and 517 (58%) were male. 454 (51%) were assigned to control and 432 (49%) to intravenous tenecteplase. The primary outcome occurred in 338 (75%) of 452 patients in the control group and 309 (72%) of 432 in the tenecteplase group (risk ratio [RR] 0·96, 95% CI 0·88-1·04, p=0·29). More patients died in the tenecteplase group (20 deaths [5%]) than in the control group (five deaths [1%]; adjusted hazard ratio 3·8; 95% CI 1·4-10·2, p=0·0085). There were eight (2%) symptomatic intracranial haemorrhages in the tenecteplase group versus two (<1%) in the control group (RR 4·2; 95% CI 0·9-19·7, p=0·059). INTERPRETATION: There was no benefit and possible harm from treatment with intravenous tenecteplase. Patients with minor stroke and intracranial occlusion should not be routinely treated with intravenous thrombolysis. FUNDING: Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and the British Heart Foundation.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Early ischemic change and collateral extent are colinear with ischemic core volume (ICV). We investigated the relationship between a combined score using the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score and multiphase computed tomography angiography (mCTA) collateral extent, named mCTA-ACE score, on functional outcomes in endovascular therapy-treated patients. METHODS: We performed a post hoc analysis of a subset of endovascular therapy-treated patients from the Alteplase Compared to Tenecteplase trial which was conducted between December 2019 and January 2022 at 22 centers across Canada. Ten-point mCTA collateral corresponding to M2 to M6 regions of the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score grid was evaluated as 0 (poor), 1 (moderate), or 2 (normal) and additively combined with the 10-point Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score to produce a 20-point mCTA-ACE score. We investigated the association of mCTA-ACE score with modified Rankin Scale score ≤2 and return to prestroke level of function at 90 to 120 days using mixed-effects logistic regression. In the subset of patients who underwent baseline computed tomography perfusion imaging, we compared the mCTA-ACE score and ICV for outcome prediction. RESULTS: Among 1577 intention-to-treat population in the trial, 368 (23%; 179 men; median age, 73 years) were included, with Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score, mCTA collateral, and combination of both (mCTA-ACE score: median [interquartile range], 8 [7-10], 9 [8-10], and 17 [16-19], respectively). The probability of modified Rankin Scale score ≤2 and return to prestroke level of function increased for each 1-point increase in mCTA-ACE score (odds ratio, 1.16 [95% CI, 1.06-1.28] and 1.22 [95% CI, 1.06-1.40], respectively). Among 173 patients in whom computed tomography perfusion data was assessable, the mCTA-ACE score was inversely correlated with ICV (ρ=-0.46; P<0.01). The mCTA-ACE score was comparable to ICV to predict a modified Rankin Scale score ≤2 and return to prestroke level of function (C statistics 0.71 versus 0.69 and 0.68 versus 0.64, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The mCTA-ACE score had a significant positive association with functional outcomes after endovascular therapy and had a similar predictive performance as ICV.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Understanding sex differences in stroke care is important in reducing potential disparities. Our objective was to explore sex differences in workflow efficiency, treatment efficacy, and safety in the AcT trial (Alteplase Compared to Tenecteplase). METHODS: AcT was a multicenter, registry-linked randomized noninferiority trial comparing tenecteplase (0.25 mg/kg) with alteplase (0.9 mg/kg) in acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of onset. In this post hoc analysis, baseline characteristics, workflow times, successful reperfusion (extended Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score ≥2b), symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage, 90-day functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score, 0-1), and 90-day mortality were compared by sex. Mixed-effects regression analysis was used adjusting for age, stroke severity, and occlusion site for outcomes. RESULTS: Of 1577 patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis (2019-2022), 755 (47.9%) were women. Women were older (median, 77 [68-86] years in women versus 70 [59-79] years in men) and had a higher proportion of severe strokes (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score >15; 32.4% versus 24.9%) and large vessel occlusions (28.7% versus 21.5%) compared with men. All workflow times were comparable between sexes. Women were less likely to achieve functional independence (31.7% versus 39.8%; unadjusted relative risk, 0.80 [95% CI, 0.70-0.91]) and had higher mortality (17.7% versus 13.3%; unadjusted relative risk, 1.33 [95% CI, 1.06-1.69]). Adjusted analysis showed no difference in outcomes between sexes. CONCLUSIONS: Differences in prognostic factors of age, stroke severity, and occlusion site largely accounted for higher functional dependence and mortality in women. No sex disparities were apparent in workflow quality indicators. Given the integration of the AcT trial into clinical practice, these results provide reassurance that no major sex biases are apparent in acute stroke management throughout participating Canadian centers.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Data on systolic blood pressure (SBP) trajectories in the first 24 hours after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke are limited. We sought to identify these trajectories and their relationship to outcomes. METHODS: We combined individual-level data from 5 studies of patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent EVT and had individual blood pressure values after the end of the procedure. We used group-based trajectory analysis to identify the number and shape of SBP trajectories post-EVT. We used mixed effects regression models to identify associations between trajectory groups and outcomes adjusting for potential confounders and reported the respective adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and common odds ratios. RESULTS: There were 2640 total patients with acute ischemic stroke included in the analysis. The most parsimonious model identified 4 distinct SBP trajectories, that is, general directional patterns after repeated SBP measurements: high, moderate-high, moderate, and low. Patients in the higher blood pressure trajectory groups were older, had a higher prevalence of vascular risk factors, presented with more severe stroke syndromes, and were less likely to achieve successful recanalization after the EVT. In the adjusted analyses, only patients in the high-SBP trajectory were found to have significantly higher odds of early neurological deterioration (aOR, 1.84 [95% CI, 1.20-2.82]), intracranial hemorrhage (aOR, 1.84 [95% CI, 1.31-2.59]), mortality (aOR, 1.75 [95% CI, 1.21-2.53), death or disability (aOR, 1.63 [95% CI, 1.15-2.31]), and worse functional outcomes (adjusted common odds ratio,1.92 [95% CI, 1.47-2.50]). CONCLUSIONS: Patients follow distinct SBP trajectories in the first 24 hours after an EVT. Persistently elevated SBP after the procedure is associated with unfavorable short-term and long-term outcomes.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In ischaemic stroke, minor deficits (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) ≤5) at presentation are common but often progress, leaving patients with significant disability. We compared the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis with tenecteplase versus alteplase in patients who had a minor stroke enrolled in the Alteplase Compared to Tenecteplase in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke (AcT) trial. METHODS: The AcT trial included individuals with ischaemic stroke, aged >18 years, who were eligible for standard-of-care intravenous thrombolysis. Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 to intravenous tenecteplase (0.25 mg/kg) or alteplase (0.9 mg/kg). Patients with minor deficits pre-thrombolysis were included in this post-hoc exploratory analysis. The primary efficacy outcome was the proportion of patients with a modified Rankin Score (mRS) of 0-1 at 90-120 days. Safety outcomes included mortality and symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage (sICH). RESULTS: Of the 378 patients enrolled in AcT with an NIHSS of ≤5, the median age was 71 years, 39.7% were women; 194 (51.3%) received tenecteplase and 184 (48.7%) alteplase. The primary outcome (mRS score 0-1) occurred in 100 participants (51.8%) in the tenecteplase group and 86 (47.5 %) in the alteplase group (adjusted risk ratio (RR) 1.14 (95% CI 0.92 to 1.40)). There were no significant differences in the rates of sICH (2.9% in tenecteplase vs 3.3% in alteplase group, unadjusted RR 0.79 (0.24 to 2.54)) and death within 90 days (5.5% in tenecteplase vs 11% in alteplase group, adjusted HR 0.99 (95% CI 0.96 to 1.02)). CONCLUSION: In this post-hoc analysis of patients with minor stroke enrolled in the AcT trial, safety and efficacy outcomes with tenecteplase 0.25 mg/kg were not different from alteplase 0.9 mg/kg.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Recent evidence from thrombolysis trials indicates the noninferiority of intravenous tenecteplase to intravenous alteplase with respect to good functional outcomes in patients with acute stroke. We examined whether the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of patients with acute stroke differs by the type of thrombolysis treatment received. In addition, we examined the association between the modified Rankin Scale score 0 to 1 and HRQOL and patient-reported return to prebaseline stroke functioning at 90 days. METHODS: Data were from all patients included in the AcT trial (Alteplase Compared to Tenecteplase), a pragmatic, registry-linked randomized trial comparing tenecteplase with alteplase. HRQOL at 90-day post-randomization was assessed using the 5-item EuroQOL questionnaire (EQ5D), which consists of 5 items and a visual analog scale (VAS). EQ5D index values were estimated from the EQ5D items using the time tradeoff approach based on Canadian norms. Tobit regression and quantile regression models were used to evaluate the adjusted effect of tenecteplase versus alteplase treatment on the EQ5D index values and VAS score, respectively. The association between return to prebaseline stroke functioning and the modified Rankin Scale score 0 to 1 and HRQOL was quantified using correlation coefficient (r) with 95% CI. RESULTS: Of 1577 included in the intention-to-treat analysis patients, 1503 (95.3%) had complete data on the EQ5D. Of this, 769 (51.2%) were administered tenecteplase and 717 (47.7%) were female. The mean EQ5D VAS score and EQ5D index values were not significantly higher for those who received intravenous tenecteplase compared with those who received intravenous alteplase (P=0.10). Older age (P<0.01), more severe stroke assessed using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (P<0.01), and longer stroke onset-to-needle time (P=0.004) were associated with lower EQ5D index and VAS scores. There was a strong association (r, 0.85 [95% CI, 0.81-0.89]) between patient-reported return to prebaseline functioning and modified Rankin Scale score 0 to 1 Similarly, there was a moderate association between return to prebaseline functioning and EQ5D index (r, 0.45 [95% CI, 0.40-0.49]) and EQ5D VAS scores (r, 0.42 [95% CI, 0.37-0.46]). CONCLUSIONS: Although there is no differential effect of thrombolysis type on patient-reported global HRQOL and EQ 5D-5L index values in patients with acute stroke, sex- and age-related differences in HRQOL were noted in this study.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Carotid tandem lesions ((TL) ⩾70% stenosis or occlusion) account for 15-20% of acute stroke with large vessel occlusion. AIMS: We investigated the safety and efficacy of intravenous tenecteplase (0.25 mg/kg) versus intravenous alteplase (0.9 mg/kg) in patients with carotid TL. METHODS: This is a substudy of the alteplase compared with the tenecteplase trial. Patients with ⩾70% stenosis of the extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) and concomitant occlusion of the intracranial ICA, M1 or M2 segments of the middle cerebral artery on baseline computed tomography angiography (CTA) were included. Primary outcome was 90-day-modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-1. Secondary outcomes were mRS 0-2, mortality, and symptomatic ICH (sICH). Angiographic outcomes were successful recanalization (revised Arterial Occlusive Lesion (rAOL) 2b-3) on first and successful reperfusion (eTICI 2b-3) on final angiographic acquisitions. Multivariable mixed-effects logistic regression was performed. RESULTS: Among 1577 alteplase versus tenecteplase randomized controlled trial (AcT) patients, 128 (18.8%) had carotid TL. Of these, 93 (72.7%) underwent intravenous thrombolysis plus endovascular thrombectomy (IVT + EVT), while 35 (27.3%) were treated with IVT alone. In the IVT + EVT group, tenecteplase was associated with higher odds of 90-day-mRS 0-1 (46.0% vs. 32.6%, adjusted OR (aOR) 3.21; 95% CI = 1.06-9.71) compared with alteplase. No statistically significant differences in rates of mRS 0-2 (aOR 1.53; 95% CI = 0.51-4.55), initial rAOL 2b-3 (16.3% vs. 28.6%), final eTICI 2b-3 (83.7% vs. 85.7%), and mortality (18.0% vs. 16.3%) were found. SICH only occurred in one patient. There were no differences in outcomes between thrombolytic agents in the IVT-only group. CONCLUSION: In patients with carotid TL treated with EVT, intravenous tenecteplase may be associated with similar or better clinical outcomes, similar angiographic reperfusion rates, and safety outcomes as compared with alteplase.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) has been reported in up to 50% of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with a large vessel occlusion (LVO) treated with endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). HT may be driven by postrecanalization hyperperfusion injury and is independently associated with worse functional outcomes. Strategies to identify patients at risk for HT may assist in developing preventive therapies. METHODS: We prospectively included adult AIS patients with an anterior circulation LVO achieving successful recanalization after EVT. Consenting participants received transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) within 18 hours of procedure completion. We compared flow velocities according to the presence of HT on the computed tomography scan performed within the first 24±12 hours from the end of EVT. We also evaluated the association of flow velocities with systemic blood pressure (BP) readings at the time of insonation. RESULTS: A total of 48 patients consented to participate in the study. Six (12%) were excluded due to the absence of temporal windows. HT was detected in 20 participants (48%). Those with HT had higher peak systolic velocities on the middle cerebral arteries compared to those without HT for both the symptomatic (107±42 vs. 82±25 cm/second, p = .024) and asymptomatic (97±21 vs. 81±25 cm/second, p = .040) sides. No correlation of flow velocities on either the symptomatic or asymptomatic side and BP measurements at the time of insonation was detected. CONCLUSION: TCD can identify patients at risk of HT following successful EVT. TCD could serve as an inexpensive ancillary test to guide participant selection for clinical trials targeting postprocedural reperfusion injury.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Data on the association between blood pressure variability (BPV) after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and outcomes are limited. We sought to identify whether BPV within the first 24 hours post EVT was associated with key stroke outcomes. METHODS: We combined individual patient-data from five studies among AIS-patients who underwent EVT, that provided individual BP measurements after the end of the procedure. BPV was estimated as either systolic-BP (SBP) standard deviation (SD) or coefficient of variation (CV) over 24 h post-EVT. We used a logistic mixed-effects model to estimate the association [expressed as adjusted odds ratios (aOR)] between tertiles of BPV and outcomes of 90-day mortality, 90-day death or disability [modified Rankin Scale-score (mRS) > 2], 90-day functional impairment (⩾1-point increase across all mRS-scores), and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), adjusting for age, sex, stroke severity, co-morbidities, pretreatment with intravenous thrombolysis, successful recanalization, and mean SBP and diastolic-BP levels within the first 24 hours post EVT. RESULTS: There were 2640 AIS-patients included in the analysis. The highest tertile of SBP-SD was associated with higher 90-day mortality (aOR:1.44;95% CI:1.08-1.92), 90-day death or disability (aOR:1.49;95% CI:1.18-1.89), and 90-day functional impairment (adjusted common OR:1.42;95% CI:1.18-1.72), but not with sICH (aOR:1.22;95% CI:0.76-1.98). Similarly, the highest tertile of SBP-CV was associated with higher 90-day mortality (aOR:1.33;95% CI:1.01-1.74), 90-day death or disability (aOR:1.50;95% CI:1.19-1.89), and 90-day functional impairment (adjusted common OR:1.38;95% CI:1.15-1.65), but not with sICH (aOR:1.33;95% CI:0.83-2.14). CONCLUSIONS: BPV after EVT appears to be associated with higher mortality and disability, independently of mean BP levels within the first 24 h post EVT. BPV in the first 24 h may be a novel target to improve outcomes after EVT for AIS.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND & AIMS: It is unknown if the COVID-19 pandemic and public health measures had an immediate impact on stroke subtypes and etiologies in patients not infected with COVID-19. We aimed to evaluate if the proportion of non-COVID-19-related stroke subtypes (ischemic vs. hemorrhagic) and etiologies (cardioembolic, atherosclerosis, small vessel disease, and others) during the pandemic's first wave were different from prepandemic. METHODS: For this retrospective cohort study, we included patients without COVID-19 with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke at two large Canadian stroke centers between March-May 2019 (prepandemic cohort) and March-May 2020 (pandemic cohort). Proportions of stroke subtypes and etiologies were compared between cohorts using chi-square tests. RESULTS: The prepandemic cohort consisted of 234 stroke patients and the pandemic cohort of 207 stroke patients. There were no major differences in baseline characteristics. The proportions of ischemic versus hemorrhagic stroke were similar (ischemic stroke: 77% prepandemic vs. 75% pandemic; hemorrhagic stroke:12% prepandemic vs. 14% pandemic; p > 0.05). There were no differences in etiologies, except for a decreased proportion of ischemic stroke due to atherosclerosis in the pandemic cohort (26% prepandemic vs. 15% pandemic; difference: 10.6%, 95%CI: 1.4-19.7; p = 0.03). Notably, during the pandemic, the cause of ischemic stroke was more often unknown because of incomplete work-up (13.3% prepandemic vs. 28.2% pandemic, difference: 14.9%, 95%-CI: 5.7-24.2; p = <0.01). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the pandemic had no clear effect on stroke subtypes and etiologies suggesting a limited impact of the pandemic on stroke triggers. However, the shift from atherosclerosis toward other causes warrants further exploration.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The AcT (Alteplase Compared to Tenecteplase) randomized controlled trial showed that tenecteplase is noninferior to alteplase in treating patients with acute ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of symptom onset. The effect of time to treatment on clinical outcomes with alteplase is well known; however, the nature of this relationship is yet to be described with tenecteplase. We assessed whether the association of time to thrombolysis treatment with clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke differs by whether they receive intravenous tenecteplase versus alteplase. METHODS: Patients included were from AcT, a pragmatic, registry-linked, phase 3 randomized controlled trial comparing intravenous tenecteplase to alteplase in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Eligible patients were >18 years old, with disabling neurological deficits, presenting within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, and eligible for thrombolysis. Primary outcome was modified Rankin Scale score 0 to 1 at 90 days. Safety outcomes included 24-hour symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage and 90-day mortality rates. Mixed-effects logistic regression was used to assess the following: (a) the association of stroke symptom onset to needle time; (b) door (hospital arrival) to needle time with outcomes; and (c) if these associations were modified by type of thrombolytic administered (tenecteplase versus alteplase), after adjusting for age, sex, baseline stroke severity, and site of intracranial occlusion. RESULTS: Of the 1538 patients included in this analysis, 1146 (74.5%; 591 tenecteplase and 555 alteplase) presented within 3 hours versus 392 (25.5%; 196: TNK and 196 alteplase) who presented within 3 to 4.5 hours of symptom onset. Baseline patient characteristics in the 0 to 3 hours versus 3- to 4.5-hour time window were similar, except patients in the 3- to 4.5-hour window had lower median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Severity Scale (10 versus 7, respectively) and lower proportion of patients with large vessel occlusion on baseline CT angiography (26.9% versus 18.7%, respectively). Type of thrombolytic agent (tenecteplase versus alteplase) did not modify the association between continuous onset to needle time (Pinteraction=0.161) or door-to-needle time (Pinteraction=0.972) and primary clinical outcome. Irrespective of the thrombolytic agent used, each 30-minute reduction in onset to needle time was associated with a 1.8% increase while every 10 minutes reduction in door-to-needle time was associated with a 0.2% increase in the probability of achieving 90-day modified Rankin Scale score 0 to 1, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The effect of time to tenecteplase administration on clinical outcomes is like that of alteplase, with faster administration resulting in better clinical outcomes.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have recently established the benefit of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with large infarct core on baseline neuroimaging. We evaluated the utility of EVT in patients with very large infarct core, defined as Alberta Stroke Program Early CT scores (ASPECTS) of less than 3. METHODS: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of the subgroups of patients with baseline ASPECTS scores 0-2 included in RCTs evaluating the utility of EVT in the setting of a large infarct core. The outcome of interest was the probability of three-month functional improvement assessed with the generalized odds ratios (ORs) of the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores between patients receiving EVT and medical management. RESULTS: In the pooled analyses of 82 participants of the total 808 (10%) enrolled in 2 individual trials, we found a statistically significant shift in the distribution of mRS scores toward better outcomes in favor of EVT (generalized OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.03-2.07). No evidence of heterogeneity was detected (I 2 = 0%; p for Cochran Q = 0.73). DISCUSSION: The results from our pooled analysis challenge the exclusion of patients presenting with ASPECTS scores less than 3 from receiving EVT if they are otherwise eligible.

RESUMEN

Importance: It is unknown whether intravenous thrombolysis using tenecteplase is noninferior or preferable compared with alteplase for patients with acute ischemic stroke. Objective: To examine the safety and efficacy of tenecteplase compared to alteplase among patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a prespecified analysis of the Intravenous Tenecteplase Compared With Alteplase for Acute Ischaemic Stroke in Canada (ACT) randomized clinical trial that enrolled patients from 22 primary and comprehensive stroke centers across Canada between December 10, 2019, and January 25, 2022. Patients 18 years and older with a disabling ischemic stroke within 4.5 hours of symptom onset were randomly assigned (1:1) to either intravenous tenecteplase or alteplase and were monitored for up to 120 days. Patients with baseline intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA), M1-middle cerebral artery (MCA), M2-MCA, and basilar occlusions were included in this analysis. A total of 1600 patients were enrolled, and 23 withdrew consent. Exposures: Intravenous tenecteplase (0.25 mg/kg) vs intravenous alteplase (0.9 mg/kg). Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcome was the proportion of modified Rankin scale (mRS) score 0-1 at 90 days. Secondary outcomes were an mRS score from 0 to 2, mortality, and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Angiographic outcomes were successful reperfusion (extended Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction scale score 2b-3) on first and final angiographic acquisitions. Multivariable analyses (adjusting for age, sex, National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score, onset-to-needle time, and occlusion location) were carried out. Results: Among 1577 patients, 520 (33.0%) had LVO (median [IQR] age, 74 [64-83] years; 283 [54.4%] women): 135 (26.0%) with ICA occlusion, 237 (45.6%) with M1-MCA, 117 (22.5%) with M2-MCA, and 31 (6.0%) with basilar occlusions. The primary outcome (mRS score 0-1) was achieved in 86 participants (32.7%) in the tenecteplase group vs 76 (29.6%) in the alteplase group. Rates of mRS 0-2 (129 [49.0%] vs 131 [51.0%]), symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (16 [6.1%] vs 11 [4.3%]), and mortality (19.9% vs 18.1%) were similar in the tenecteplase and alteplase groups, respectively. No difference was noted in successful reperfusion rates in the first (19 [9.2%] vs 21 [10.5%]) and final angiogram (174 [84.5%] vs 177 [88.9%]) among 405 patients who underwent thrombectomy. Conclusions and Relevance: The findings in this study indicate that intravenous tenecteplase conferred similar reperfusion, safety, and functional outcomes compared to alteplase among patients with LVO.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase bolus followed by infusion is a global standard of care for patients with acute ischaemic stroke. We aimed to determine whether tenecteplase given as a single bolus might increase reperfusion compared with this standard of care. METHODS: In this multicentre, open-label, parallel-group, registry-linked, randomised, controlled trial (AcT), patients were enrolled from 22 primary and comprehensive stroke centres across Canada. Patients were eligible for inclusion if they were aged 18 years or older, with a diagnosis of ischaemic stroke causing disabling neurological deficit, presenting within 4·5 h of symptom onset, and eligible for thrombolysis per Canadian guidelines. Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1:1), using a previously validated minimal sufficient balance algorithm to balance allocation by site and a secure real-time web-based server, to either intravenous tenecteplase (0·25 mg/kg to a maximum of 25 mg) or alteplase (0·9 mg/kg to a maximum of 90mg; 0·09 mg/kg as a bolus and then a 60 min infusion of the remaining 0·81 mg/kg). The primary outcome was the proportion of patients who had a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-1 at 90-120 days after treatment, assessed via blinded review in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population (ie, all patients randomly assigned to treatment who did not withdraw consent). Non-inferiority was met if the lower 95% CI of the difference in the proportion of patients who met the primary outcome between the tenecteplase and alteplase groups was more than -5%. Safety was assessed in all patients who received any of either thrombolytic agent and who were reported as treated. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03889249, and is closed to accrual. FINDINGS: Between Dec 10, 2019, and Jan 25, 2022, 1600 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to tenecteplase (n=816) or alteplase (n=784), of whom 1577 were included in the ITT population (n=806 tenecteplase; n=771 alteplase). The median age was 74 years (IQR 63-83), 755 (47·9%) of 1577 patients were female and 822 (52·1%) were male. As of data cutoff (Jan 21, 2022), 296 (36·9%) of 802 patients in the tenecteplase group and 266 (34·8%) of 765 in the alteplase group had an mRS score of 0-1 at 90-120 days (unadjusted risk difference 2·1% [95% CI - 2·6 to 6·9], meeting the prespecified non-inferiority threshold). In safety analyses, 27 (3·4%) of 800 patients in the tenecteplase group and 24 (3·2%) of 763 in the alteplase group had 24 h symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage and 122 (15·3%) of 796 and 117 (15·4%) of 763 died within 90 days of starting treatment INTERPRETATION: Intravenous tenecteplase (0·25 mg/kg) is a reasonable alternative to alteplase for all patients presenting with acute ischaemic stroke who meet standard criteria for thrombolysis.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To explore the association between blood pressure (BP) levels after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) and the clinical outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO). METHODS: A study was eligible if it enrolled patients with AIS >18 years of age with an LVO treated with either successful or unsuccessful EVT and provided either individual or mean 24-hour systolic BP values after the end of the EVT procedure. Individual patient data from all studies were analyzed with a generalized linear mixed-effects model. RESULTS: A total of 5,874 patients (mean age 69 ± 14 years; 50% women; median NIH Stroke Scale score on admission 16) from 7 published studies were included. Increasing mean systolic BP levels per 10 mm Hg during the first 24 hours after the end of the EVT were associated with a lower odds of functional improvement (unadjusted common odds ratio [OR] 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.80-0.85; adjusted common OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.84-0.93) and modified Rankin Scale score ≤2 (unadjusted OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.79-0.85; adjusted OR 0.87, 95% CI 0.82-0.93) and a higher odds of all-cause mortality (unadjusted OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.13-1.24; adjusted OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.06-1.23) at 3 months. Higher 24-hour mean systolic BP levels were also associated with an increased likelihood of early neurologic deterioration (unadjusted OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.07-1.21; adjusted OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.03-1.24) and a higher odds of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (unadjusted OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.09-1.29; adjusted OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.03-1.38) after EVT. DISCUSSION: Increased mean systolic BP levels in the first 24 hours after EVT are independently associated with a higher odds of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, early neurologic deterioration, 3-month mortality, and worse 3-month functional outcomes.
