Study Haley et al. [16] Kate et al. [22] TEMPO-1 [21] Parsons et al. [17]
Design Dose-finding Single arm Dose escalation Prospective
Inclusion criteria NINDS, 1995

CBV or ASPECTS > 6

 + 

mismatch score > 2

TNK dose (mg/kg) (n)

0.1 (n = 25)

Treatment window 3 h 4.5–24 h 12 h

3–6 h for TNK group

 < 3 h for alteplase group

Imaging selection NCCT CTP or PWI CT and CTA Perfusion/angiographic imaging with CT/MRI
Primary outcome sICH sICH Drug-related serious adverse events

Rates of reperfusion

74% TNK vs. 44% Alteplase; P = 0.01

Major vessel recanalization:

10/15 patients TNK vs. 7/29 Alteplase; P = 0.01

sICH

0.1–0.4 mg/kg dose: 0%

0.5 mg/kg dose: 15%

1 (6.3%) 0% in both groups

0% TNK

11.4% Alteplase

Conclusion TNK 0.1–0.4 mg/kg dose is safe in AIS TNK is feasible in AIS patients with penumbra 4–24 h after stroke onset TNK is feasible and safe for TIA or minor stroke with LVO TNK may be efficacious in AIS within 3–6 h onset with advanced imaging selection
