Negative Trials Matter: Anne Hege Aamodt Shares The TenCRAOS Trial
Anne Hege Aamodt, Member Board of Directors at European Stroke Organisation, shared on LinkedIn:
”Published today in The New England Journal of Medicine: the TenCRAOS trial.
We asked a difficult but important question: can early intravenous thrombolysis with tenecteplase improve vision after acute central retinal artery occlusion?
In this randomized phase 3 trial, the answer was no — and treatment was associated with serious safety concerns.
Negative trials matter.
TenCRAOS provides much-needed high-level evidence in a field where treatment decisions are often made under great uncertainty.
These results should inform clinical practice and future guidelines.
Deeply grateful to our multidisciplinary teams in neurology and ophthalmology for an inspiring collaboration, and to all investigators, supporters, and funders — and especially to the patients who generously participated.”
