- A regional network of ten hospitals implemented tenecteplase as the standard treatment for stroke in 2019, believing it would improve workflow and offer similar clinical outcomes compared to the traditional alteplase treatment.
- A study comparing 234 tenecteplase patients to 354 alteplase patients found that tenecteplase significantly reduced door-to-needle times and door-in-door-out times, while showing noninferior favorable and lower unfavorable outcomes.
- Overall, tenecteplase demonstrated a greater net benefit and lower average treatment costs compared to alteplase, suggesting it could be a more efficient option for stroke care.
