What this phase means
Phase 3: this treatment already looked useful in smaller studies. Now it is tested in a large group, often against standard care or a dummy treatment, to see if it should be approved.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are TNK-tPA, Aspirin, or Placebo. The registry lists allocation as randomized. The goal of this clinical trial is to measure the how well it works and safety of tenecteplase administered 4.5-9 hours after stroke onset (defined as the time the patient was first found with symptoms, including wake-up stroke and unwitnessed stroke) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) guided by DWI-FLAIR mismatch on MRI.
They plan to enroll about 564 people at Zhengzhou. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
