Japan Alteplase Clinical Trial (J-ACT) research results suggest that a low dose of tPA (0.6 mg/kg) intravenous thrombolytic therapy in the Japanese population can obtain similar clinical efficacy as the standard dose of National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) and can reduce the risk of SICH (18).

Treatment With Intravenous Alteplase for Acute Ischemic Stroke After Reversal of Dabigatran With Idarucizumab: A Case Study

Campbell, Ph.D., from the Melbourne Brain Centre in Australia, and colleagues randomized 202 patients with ischemic stroke who had occlusion of the internal carotid, basilar, or middle cerebral artery, and who were eligible for thrombectomy, to receive tenecteplase (101 patients) or alteplase (101 patients) within 4.5 hours after symptom onset.

Tenecteplase Appears Superior to Alteplase After Ischemic Stroke; Tenecteplase within 4.5 hours after symptoms linked to higher reperfusion, better functional outcomes

For patients with blood pressure lower than 220/120 mm Hg who did not receive IV alteplase or thrombectomy, treatment of hypertension in the first 48-72 hours after an MS does not change the outcome.

Although we infused the dose of alteplase over 2 hours as per the manufacturer's recommendation [30], others have recommended a more rapid infusion strategy (e.g., a 50 mg bolus injection of alteplase with an option for a repeat bolus 15 minutes later or an accelerated regimen of 0,6 mg alteplase/kg over 15 minutes) [31, 32].
