This was a randomized (1:1), open-label, multi-center, active-control, parallel-group study to compare the efficacy and safety of TNK-tPA (tenecteplase, Metalyse®) with that of accelerated rt-PA (alteplase, Actilyse®) in Asian patients with AMI. The primary endpoint (TIMI 3 Flow) and the secondary endpoint (TIMI frame count) were evaluated in a blinded manner in the core laboratory.
