Abstrakt: Background: Alteplase is the standard medical therapy for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who present within 4.5 h of symptom onset. Tenecteplase is a modified alteplase variant with pharmacological and practical advantages over alteplase. Many trials have investigated the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase against alteplase. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of tenecteplase to alteplase across randomized controlled trials.
Method: Medline, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL were used to search the related articles until February 20, 2023. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the effectiveness and safety of tenecteplase against alteplase for AIS patients were included. Screening, risk of bias assessment, and data extraction were performed following PRISMA guidelines. Data were pooled using a random-effect model.
Results: Ten RCTs were included, with a total of 5123 patients. There was no significant difference between the two interventions in modified rankin scale 0-1 (mRS 0-1) (RR= 1.04, 95% CI [0.99-1.10], P = 0.11, I 2 =0%) and early neurological improvement (RR= 1.06, 95% CI [0.97-1.15], P = 0.21, I 2 =35). There was no difference in the rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (RR= 1.18, 95% CI [0.84-1.65], P = 0.35, I 2 = 0%). Tenecteplase was associated with significantly higher complete recanalization rate compared to alteplase (RR= 1.17, 95% CI [1.00-1.36], P = 0.05, I 2 =0%). For large vessel occlusion (LVO) patients assigned to tenecteplase, there was a significant improvement in mRS 0-1 (RR= 1.28, 95% CI [1.07-1.52], P = 0.006, I 2 =0%).
Conclusion: Based on our meta-analysis, tenecteplase has similar efficacy and safety to alteplase, with a more promising effect in patients with LVO.
