Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RESTART- fr is a randomised controlled trial for adults surviving spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage who had taken an antithrombotic drug (i.e. anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication) for the prevention of vaso-occlusive disease before the ICH.

RESTART- fr is testing whether a policy of starting antiplatelet drugs (one or more of aspirin, clopidogrel, or dipyridamole, chosen at investigator's discretion) results in a beneficial net reduction of all serious vascular events over two years compared with a policy of avoiding antiplatelet drugs.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

More than one third of the adults with a stroke due to bleeding into the brain - known as brain haemorrhage - are taking drugs to prevent clotting when they have a brain haemorrhage.

These patients had previously suffered illnesses like angina, heart attack, or stroke due to blood vessel blockage, which is why they are treated with drugs to prevent further clots occurring. These drugs are usually stopped when the brain haemorrhage occurs.

But when patients recover from brain haemorrhage, they and their doctors are often uncertain about whether to restart these drugs to prevent further clots occurring, or whether to avoid them in case they increase the risk of brain haemorrhage happening again.

In this preliminary study of 292 such people who survive a brain haemorrhage, we will study the potentially beneficial effects of three antiplatelet drugs (one or more of aspirin, clopidogrel, or dipyridamole, chosen by the patient's physician) on the risks of heart attack, stroke and other clotting problems as well as their effect on the risk of a brain haemorrhage happening again.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Start antiplatelet drug(s)

If the patient is randomized in this arm, an antiplatelet agent (aspirin or clopidogrel or dypyridamole), chosen by the patient's physician before the randomisation, will be prescribed to the patient during the study period

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Clopidogrel or Aspirin and/or Dypyridamole

Intervention Type DRUG

The physician will prescribe on this antiplatelet agent if the patient is randomized in the arm " restart"

Avoid antiplatelet drug(s)

If the patient is randomized in this arm, antiplatelet drugs will not be prescribed to the patient during the entire study period

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Clopidogrel or Aspirin and/or Dypyridamole

The physician will prescribe on this antiplatelet agent if the patient is randomized in the arm " restart"

Intervention Type DRUG
