Guided Antiplatelet Therapy in Interventional Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms
A study testing Adjustment of Antiplatelet Drugs in people with Intracranial Aneurysm, run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital at 2 sites in China.
Trial summary
The use of intracranial stents expands the possibilities for endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms and improves the success rate. However, it also increases the risk of ischemic complications in patients. The current standard dual antiplatelet regimen is considered crucial in reducing thrombotic events.

About this study
Official title: Guided Versus Standard Antiplatelet Therapy in Intracranial Aneurysm Intervention With Stents: a Cluster Randomized Controlled Cohort Study
The use of intracranial stents expands the possibilities for endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms and improves the success rate. However, it also increases the risk of ischemic complications in patients. The current standard dual antiplatelet regimen is considered crucial in reducing thrombotic events. Nevertheless, some patients exhibit resistance to antiplatelet drugs, which puts them at a higher risk of thrombotic events. In clinical practice, there is a lack of standardized platelet function testing and consensus on adjusting antiplatelet drug programs. This study conducted a multi-center, prospective cluster randomized controlled trial to investigate whether antiplatelet adjustment therapy guided by light transmittance aggregometry (LTA) detection can decrease the occurrence of ischemic events after stent implantation in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Additionally, the study aimed to establish a set of standardized antiplatelet regimens.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Adjustment of Antiplatelet DrugsDrug
The maximum platelet aggregation rate induced by arachidonic acid (AA-MPA)≥20%, give aspirin 200mg qd. The maximum platelet aggregation rate induced by adenosine diphosphatase (ADP-MPA)≥36.4% for flow diversion, give ticagrelor 60mg bid. ADP-MPA≥42.9% for stent-assisted coil embolization,give ticagrelor 60mg bid. ADP-MPA<20%, give clopidogrel 37.5mg qd. The timing of drug adjustment should be at least 1 day before stent implantation, and the LTA testing should be performed again 48 hours after the drug adjustment. For patients whose ADP-MPA does not reach the normal range, a second antiplatelet drug adjustment should be performed: ticagrelor overdose: reduce to 45mg bid; ticagrelor resistance, increase to 90 mg bid.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| control group | No intervention | Continue to use the center's original antiplatelet regimen: oral aspirin 100 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg daily |
| test group | Experimental | Use a guided antiplatelet regimen based on LTA testing Receives: Drug: Adjustment of Antiplatelet Drugs |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Ischemic events
ischemic stroke, transient ischemic stroke (TIA), stent thrombosis
Measured: 30 days after stent implantation.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The use of intracranial stents expands the possibilities for endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms and improves the success rate. However, it also increases the risk of ischemic complications in patients. The current standard dual antiplatelet regimen is considered crucial in reducing thrombotic events. Nevertheless, some patients exhibit resistance to antiplatelet drugs, which puts them at a higher risk of thrombotic events. In clinical practice, there is a lack of standardized platelet function testing and consensus on adjusting antiplatelet drug programs. This study conducted a multi-center, prospective cluster randomized controlled trial to investigate whether antiplatelet adjustment therapy guided by light transmittance aggregometry (LTA) detection can decrease the occurrence of ischemic events after stent implantation in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Adjustment of Antiplatelet Drugs in people with Intracranial Aneurysm, run by Beijing Tiantan Hospital at 2 sites in China.
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 5 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Ischemic events (time frame: 30 days after stent implantation.). 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 NCT05825391, which also lists 6 linked publications.
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 18 Nov 2023.
