Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Summary
Brief summary
TENecteplase in Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (TenCRAOS): A Prospective, randomized-controlled, double-dummy, double-blind phase 3 multi-centre trial of TNK 0.25 mg/kg + placebo vs. ASA + placebo (2 arms with 1:1 block randomization).

A Prospective, randomized-controlled, double-dummy, double-blind phase 3 multi-centre trial of TNK 0.25 mg/kg + placebo vs. ASA + placebo (2 arms with 1:1 block randomization). At all participating centers, ophthalmologists are involved in the diagnosis and visual outcome measurements using a standardized protocol. The patients will be promptly examined by the ophthalmologist. As soon as the CRAO is diagnosed by the ophthalmologist, the patients will be managed in the stroke unit during treatment, monitoring, and medical investigations. After treatment in the stroke unit, the patients will be re-examined by an ophthalmologist and a neurologist as an out-patient at (30 ±5) and 90 (±15) days
