COMbination of Clopidogrel and Aspirin for Prevention of Early REcurrence in Acute Atherothrombotic Stroke

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Stroke
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00814268
Lead Sponsor
Sanofi
Brief Summary

Primary objective:

* Comparison of efficacy of the combination therapy (clopidogrel plus aspirin) and the aspirin alone (main comparison) to prevent any recurrent ischemic lesion .

Secondary objectives:

* Comparison of Modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores;

* Comparison of the Incidence of all kinds of stroke and vascular death;

* Comparison of the Incidence of bleeding episodes (major and minor) and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhages during the follow-up period.

  • Allergy to Aspirin or clopidogrel;
  • Subjected to intervention or surgical treatments within 3 months;
