Résumé
A 10-hospital regional network transitioned to tenecteplase as the standard of care stroke thrombolytic in September 2019 because of potential workflow advantages and reported noninferior clinical outcomes relative to alteplase in meta-analyses of randomized trials. We assessed whether tenecteplase use in routine clinical practice reduced thrombolytic workflow times with noninferior clinical outcomes. We designed a prospective registry-based observational, sequential cohort comparison of tenecteplase- (n=234) to alteplase-treated (n=354) stroke patients. We hypothesized: (1) an increase in the proportion of patients meeting target times for target door-to-needle time and transfer door-in-door-out time, and (2) noninferior favorable (discharge to home with independent ambulation) and unfavorable (symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, in-hospital mortality or discharge to hospice) in the tenecteplase group. Total hospital cost associated with each treatment was also compared. Target door-to-needle time within 45 minutes for all patients was superior for tenecteplase, 41% versus 29%; adjusted odds ratio, 1.85 (95% CI, 1.27-2.71); Switching to tenecteplase in routine clinical practice in a 10-hospital network was associated with shorter door-to-needle time and door-in-door-out times, noninferior favorable clinical outcomes at discharge, and reduced hospital costs. Evaluation in larger, multicenter cohorts is recommended to determine if these observations generalize.

BACKGROUND
A 10-hospital regional network transitioned to tenecteplase as the standard of care stroke thrombolytic in September 2019 because of potential workflow advantages and reported noninferior clinical outcomes relative to alteplase in meta-analyses of randomized trials. We assessed whether tenecteplase use in routine clinical practice reduced thrombolytic workflow times with noninferior clinical outcomes.
METHODS
We designed a prospective registry-based observational, sequential cohort comparison of tenecteplase- (n=234) to alteplase-treated (n=354) stroke patients. We hypothesized: (1) an increase in the proportion of patients meeting target times for target door-to-needle time and transfer door-in-door-out time, and (2) noninferior favorable (discharge to home with independent ambulation) and unfavorable (symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, in-hospital mortality or discharge to hospice) in the tenecteplase group. Total hospital cost associated with each treatment was also compared.
RESULTS
Target door-to-needle time within 45 minutes for all patients was superior for tenecteplase, 41% versus 29%; adjusted odds ratio, 1.85 (95% CI, 1.27-2.71);
CONCLUSIONS
Switching to tenecteplase in routine clinical practice in a 10-hospital network was associated with shorter door-to-needle time and door-in-door-out times, noninferior favorable clinical outcomes at discharge, and reduced hospital costs. Evaluation in larger, multicenter cohorts is recommended to determine if these observations generalize.
