Summary

This was a Phase III, open-label study conducted at 44 centers in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. 223 subjects who required hemodialysis (HD) and had a dysfunctional HD catheter were enrolled in the study.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: for the Study

  • Clinically stable, in the opinion of the investigator
  • Use of a cuffed, tunneled HD catheter
  • HD prescribed at a blood flow rate (BFR) of ≥300 mL/min
  • Baseline BFR (at any time during the first 60 minutes of HD) of 3.0 within 7 days prior to Visit 1, or a target INR range that allows for an INR >3.0
  • Initiation of or increase in dose of Plavix® (clopidogrel bisulfate) within 7 days prior to Visit 1
  • Hemoglobin ≥12.0 g/dL if on an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (e.g., darbepoetin or erythropoietin) and the dose of the erythropoiesis-stimulating agent has not been held or reduced per institutional policy
  • At high risk for bleeding events or embolic complications (i.e., recent pulmonary embolus, deep vein thrombosis, endarterectomy, or clinically significant right-to-left shunt) in the opinion of the investigator, or with known condition for which bleeding constitutes a significant hazard
  • BFR of <300 mL/min because of symptomatic hypotension
  • Uncontrolled hypertension in the opinion of the investigator
  • Known hypersensitivity to tenecteplase or any component of the formulation
