Summary: The primary goal of the trial is to determine if the experimental arms (rivaroxaban or ticagrelor or both) are superior to the clopidogrel arm for lowering the 1-year rate of ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, or vascular death.

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a combination of antiplatelet drugs works better than intravenous tissue plasminogen activator to treat small ischemic stroke (lacunar stroke). The main questions it aims to answer are: Is a combination of antiplatelet drugs non-inferior to the current standard tissue plasminogen activator treatment? Does a combination of antiplatelet drugs reduce the...

Summary: DAPT de-escalation strategies to reduce bleeding include de-escalation of DAPT intensity (downgrading from potent P2Y12 inhibitor at conventional doses to either clopidogrel or reduced-dose prasugrel) or abbreviation of DAPT duration. The EASTYLE trial will evaluate a hybrid DAPT de-escalation strategy (reduced-dose ticagrelor, followed by aspirin early discontinuation) in AMI patients, compared w...

Summary: Along with the current clinical trial, the efficacy and safety of a 180 mg loading dose of ticagrelor administered within 24 hours of the first-ever large-vessel minor stroke or TIA compared to 200mg cilostazol were assessed through NIHSS, mRS, and possible adverse effects.

Summary: The use of aspirin combined with a P2Y12 inhibitor (dual antiplatelet therapy, DAPT) represents the standard of care for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. The TAILOR-DAPT trial aims to investigate the benefits of a score-based decision-making algorithm to guide DAPT duration compared to a standard-of-care DAPT duration without the use of risk sco...

Summary: This study will identify the potential benefits of regulating platelet activation with sotagliflozin compared to other FDA-approved drugs known to limit platelet activation.

Summary: Stroke is a common cause of disability. The most common type of stroke, an ischemic stroke, is caused by a blood vessel in the brain getting blocked by a clot. When this happens, part of the brain is damaged because it is not getting the blood supply it needs. To treat this type of stroke, doctors give medication and/or do a procedure to remove the blockage and restore blood supply to the brain. U...

Summary: Along with the current clinical trial, the impact of adding atorvastatin or rosuvastatin in the first 24 hours on the clinical outcomes of first-ever large-vessel ischemic stroke patients treated with clopidogrel assessed through NIHSS, mRS, and possible adverse effects.

Summary: Along with the current clinical trial, the impact of adding atorvastatin or rosuvastatin in the first 24 hours on the clinical outcomes of first-ever moderate and moderate to severe stroke patients treated with clopidogrel and aspirin assessed through NIHSS, mRS, and possible adverse effects.

Summary: Along with the current clinical trial, the efficacy and safety of a 180 mg loading dose of ticagrelor administered within 24 hours of the first-ever large-vessel minor stroke or TIA compared to 300 mg clopidogrel were assessed through NIHSS, mRS, and possible adverse effects.

Summary: Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In atrial fibrillation, there is a risk that clots can form in the heart, especially in the left atrium. If these clots come loose, there is a risk of stroke. To prevent strokes, patients with atrial fibrillation and status post ICB can be treated with anticoagulants. This medication therapy prevents blood clots from forming in the heart, ...

Summary: CAPTIVA-MRI is an observational multimodal MR imaging study that is ancillary to the CAPTIVA trial \[a 3-arm, double-blind Phase III trial conducted at approximately 115 StrokeNet sites randomizing patients with stroke attributed to 70-99% intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) to aspirin plus ticagrelor, clopidogrel, or rivaroxaban.\] The primary goal of this ancillary study is to determine...
