Brief Summary   Stroke is second major cause of disability and third most common cause of mortality in India. The crude prevalence of stroke in India ranges from 44.29-559/lakh person and incidence 105- 152/lakh person over last 20 years. Rate of thrombolysis within 4.5 hours of Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) onset is 5%-12% worldwide including India. Difficult areas in India are: Reaching hospital within window period, wake-up stroke, remembering the onset time of stroke and also affordability of therapy. Intravenous (IV) Thrombolysis with alteplase, a human tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), is the standard of care prior to mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke AIS within 4.5 hours.  Hence, considering a very low rate of thrombolysis worldwide including India, this trial will give an opportunity to bring a proof of concept for future phase III RCT and encourage bridging with Alteplase by the time patient reaches hospital and is able to undergo MT, even in patients reaching at delayed window or atleast receives thrombolysis safely and leading to improved functional outcome. We aim to test the hypothesis by conducting a randomised controlled, pilot study to evaluate the safety of injection Alteplase.
