Regulatory timeline

Drug regulatory events matched to this condition by indication — EMA.

First approvals
2001emaApprovalTenecteplase· Metalyse is indicated for the thrombolytic treatment of suspected myocardial infarction with persistent ST elevation or recent left-bundle-branch block within six hours after the onset of acute-myocardial-infarction symptoms. Metalyse is indicated in adults for the thrombolytic treatment of acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) within 4.5 hours from last known well and after exclusion of intracranial haemorrhage. source ↗
Safety updates
