The ECASS-3 study demonstrated a benefit of treatment with intravenous tPA for acute stroke in the 3-4.5 hour time-window. Prior studies, however, have failed to demonstrate a significant benefit of tPA for patients treated beyond 3 hours. The purpose of this study was to produce reliable and precise estimates of the treatment effect of tPA by pooling data from all relevant studies. A meta-analysis was undertaken to determine the efficacy of tPA in the 3-4.5 hour time-window. The effect of tPA on favorable outcome and mortality was assessed. The meta-analysis included data from patients treated in the 3-4.5 hour time-window in ECASS-1 (n=234), ECASS-2 (n=265), ECASS-3 (n=821) and ATLANTIS (n=302). tPA treatment was associated with an increased chance of favorable outcome (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.10-1.56; p=0.002) and no significant difference in mortality (OR 1.04; 95% CI 0.75-1.43; p=0.83) compared to placebo treated patients. Treatment with tPA in the 3-4.5 hour time-window is beneficial. It results in an increased rate of favorable outcome without adversely affecting mortality.
