This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of IV rhTNK-tPA between 4.5 to 24 hours from symptom onset in patients presenting with a non-large vessel occlusion ischemic stroke.
OPTION is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end-point (PROBE) controlled trial of thrombolysis with rhTNK-tPA versus standard of care. A total of 568 patients will be enrolled at approximately 40 centers around China.

Recombinant human TNK tissue-type plasminogen activator. Patients will receive intravenous rhTNK-tPA (0.25mg/kg, maximum 25mg, administered as a bolus over 5-10 seconds).
Aspirin (150-300mg) is offered to patients allocated in the control arm, unless contraindicated. According to Chinese Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke 2023, 150-300mg aspirin alone is recommended for acute stroke treatment in patients who are otherwise eligible for intravenous thrombolysis or EVT as soon as possible (Class 1 of recommendation, Level A of evidence). The aspirin dose can be changed to 50-300 mg/day after the acute phase. Clopidogrel is indicated as an alternative in case of aspirin intolerance (Class 2 of recommendation, Level C of evidence)
