Brief Summary   The objective of the present study is to assess the efficacy and safety of TNK-TPA in acute ischemic stroke. A total of 75 patients will be enrolled in an open label & multi-centric clinical trial conducted across India. All the patients will receive thrombolytic therapy with TNK-TPA and appropriate background therapy. TNK-TPA will be administered in the dose of 0.2 mg/kg as IV bolus over 5-10 seconds. Neurological improvement at 24 hours as indicated by neurological improvement defined prospectively as an improvement of more than or equal to 8 points or a score of 0 on the NIH Stroke scale will be taken as primary efficacy variable. Secondary efficacy variables will be neurological improvement measured by NIH Stroke Scale at 7 days, 1 month and at 3 months & Barthel index, modified Rankin scale and Glasgow Outcome scale performed at 7 days, 1 month and 3 months. The safety variables will be percentage of patients suffering from symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 36 hours of treatment & percentage of patients with asymptomatic intracranial bleeding detected on CT scan at 48 hours of treatment.
