About this study

Official title: Randomised Controlled Prospective Trial of Early Administration of Aspirin After Systemic Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke

The aim of this study is to determine whether early administration of aspirin in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with systemic thrombolysis is safe and can improve outcomes due to decreasing the number of early rethromboses.

Read the detailed description

According to the current guidelines (European Stroke Organisation, 2009; American Heart Association-American Stroke Association, 2013) on the systemic thrombolysis in ischemic stroke patients it is recommended (class C) to start antithrombotic therapy (including antiplatelets and anticoagulants) when 24 hours go after alteplase (rtPA, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator) administration. Meanwhile rtPA has wery short lifetime in blood (T1/2 4-6 minutes). Some retrospective studies have found that early administration of antithrombotics (8-16 hours) after systemic thrombolysis can improve functional outcome and does not increase the risk of haemorrhage.

The investigators suggest a controlled prospective trial to recognise risks and benefits of early administration of aspirin (in 12 hours) after rtPA therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing acetylsalicylic acid in people with Stroke and Brain Ischemia, run by City Clinical Hospital No. 67, Moscow, Russia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

all cause mortality (time frame: 3 month). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02921360, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Oct 2016.
