ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND

OBJECTIVES:

Early treatment with intravenous alteplase increases the probability of lytic-induced reperfusion in large vessel occlusion (LVO) patients. The relationship of tenecteplase-induced reperfusion and the timing of thrombolytic administration has not been explored. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis of tenecteplase and alteplase reperfusion rates and assessed their relationship to the time of thrombolytic administration.

METHODS:

Patients who were initially treated with a thrombolytic within 4.5 hours of symptom onset were pooled from the Royal Melbourne Stroke Registry, EXTEND-IA, EXTEND-IA TNK, and EXTEND-IA TNK part 2 trials. The primary outcome, thrombolytic-induced reperfusion, was defined as the absence of retrievable thrombus or >50% reperfusion at initial angiographic assessment (or repeat CT perfusion/angiography). We compared the treatment effect of tenecteplase and alteplase through fixed-effects Poisson regression modelling.

RESULTS:

Among 846 patients included in the primary analysis, early reperfusion was observed in 173 (20%) patients (tenecteplase 98/470 [21%], onset-to-thrombolytic time 132 minutes [interquartile range (IQR) 99-170], and thrombolytic-to-assessment time 61 minutes [IQR 39-96]; alteplase 75/376 [19%], onset-to-thrombolytic time 143 minutes [IQR 105-180], thrombolytic-to-assessment time 92 minutes [IQR 63-144]). Earlier onset-to-thrombolytic administration times were associated with an increased probability of thrombolytic-induced reperfusion in patients treated with either tenecteplase (adjusted risk ratio [aRR] 1.05 per 15 minutes [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.00-1.12] or alteplase (aRR 1.06 per 15 minutes [95% CI 1.00-1.13]). Tenecteplase remained associated with higher rates of reperfusion vs alteplase after adjustment for onset-to-thrombolytic time, occlusion site, thrombolytic-to-assessment time, and study as a fixed effect, (adjusted incidence rate ratio 1.41 [95% CI 1.02-1.93]). No significant treatment-by-time interaction was observed (p = 0.87).

DISCUSSION:

In patients with LVO presenting within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, earlier thrombolytic administration increased successful reperfusion rates. Compared with alteplase, tenecteplase was associated with a higher probability of lytic-induced reperfusion, independent of onset-to-lytic administration times. TRIAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifiers NCT02388061, NCT03340493. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This study provides Class II evidence that among patients with LVO receiving a thrombolytic, reperfusion was more likely with tenecteplase than alteplase.
