Isosorbide Mononitrate XL (ISMN)
Oral Isotard® 25mg XL (Isosorbide Mononitrate) tablets. Oral Isotard® 25mg XL: Day 1-5 / 25mg daily morning dose. Day 6 to week 52 / 50mg daily morning dose. Week 53 / 25mg daily morning dose. Week 54 / NIL dose. Or Oral Isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) non-XL 20mg tablets: Day 1-5 / 20mg daily evening dose. Day 6 to week 52 / 20mg twice daily morning \& evening. Week 53 / 20mg daily morning dose. Week 54 / NIL dose. Isosorbide Mononitrate XL (ISMN): Isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN), is an NO donating organic nitrate that enhances vasodilation, is widely used in ischaemic heart disease, and has no antiplatelet activity.
Cilostazol
Oral Cilostazol 100mg tablets. Day 1-5 / 50mg daily evening dose. Day 6-10 / 50mg twice daily morning \& evening. Day 11-15 / 50mg daily morning dose \& 100mg daily evening dose.

Cilostazol: Cilostazol is a phosphodiesterase 3-inhibitor (PDE3-inhibitor) that enhances the PGI2-cAMP system. It has weak antiplatelet effects (so low bleeding risk), reduces infarct size and reduces ageing-related decline in myelin repair in experimental models.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Safety - symptoms of systemic or intracranial bleeding, recurrent cerebral and systemic vascular events, and vascular and non-vascular causes of death will be collected. It is estimated that in this trial the absolute risk of death, including fatal haemorrhage, will not differ significantly (ie fall outside the upper 95% CI) from 2% per year on trial drugs versus no trial drugs, when given in addition to guideline drugs; and will not increase bleeding or ischaemic SVD lesions significantly (at the p\<0.01 level) on MRI.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: Clinical, functional, QoL and global outcomes at 12 months- Stroke/TIA, MI, Cognitive impairment, Dependency, Death. Data are number (%)

It is estimated that in this trial the combined rate of recurrent stroke, MI, death, cognitive impairment and dependency will be 40-50% at one year after enrolment in order to detect modest but clinically-important reductions in poor outcomes. The study has a 2x2 partial factorial design. This allows testing of both drugs when given alone and together. Participants were allocated into one of four treatment groups. However, as some participants were in a group which received both treatments simultaneously then the subgroups reported for IMP exposure include a count of both participants from the single and the combined treatment groups as the total number exposed to that IMP

Week 54 / NIL dose. Or Oral Isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) non-XL 20mg tablets: Day 1-5 / 20mg daily evening dose. Day 6 to week 52 / 20mg twice daily morning \& evening. Week 53 / 20mg daily morning dose. Week 54 / NIL dose. Isosorbide Mononitrate XL (ISMN): Isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN), is an NO donating organic nitrate that enhances vasodilation, is widely used in ischaemic heart disease, and has no antiplatelet activity.
Cilostazol
n=182 participants at risk
Oral Cilostazol 100mg tablets. Day 1-5 / 50mg daily evening dose. Day 6-10 / 50mg twice daily morning \& evening. Day 11-15 / 50mg daily morning dose \& 100mg daily evening dose.

Cilostazol: Cilostazol is a phosphodiesterase 3-inhibitor (PDE3-inhibitor) that enhances the PGI2-cAMP system. It has weak antiplatelet effects (so low bleeding risk), reduces infarct size and reduces ageing-related decline in myelin repair in experimental models.
