Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this research study is to explore whether genetic testing can offer a personalized and timely approach to assist physicians in making more informed medication decisions for stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients during their hospital stay.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants will undergo collection of buccal swabs for CYP2C19 testing and be randomized (depending on CYP2C19 strata- normal vs. loss-of-function (LOF)\* CYP2C19 allele) to their assigned study medications (aspirin and clopidogrel vs aspirin and ticagrelor).

Study Groups

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

CYP2C19 strata-normal

Participants undergo buccal swab for genetic testing to determine potential medication response to standard of care (SOC) medications. Upon result, participants are randomized (1:1) to aspirin and clopidogrel vs aspirin and ticagrelor (all SOC for this stroke population). Doses are aspirin either 81mg or loading dose 325mg, clopidogrel either 75mg or loading dose 300mg, ticagrelor either 90mg or loading dose 180mg. Loading doses are given once for aspirin, clopidogrel or ticagrelor; aspirin 81mg is taken once a day for the duration of the study; clopidogrel 75mg is once a day for 21 days only, ticagrelor 90mg is twice daily for 21 days. Participants will only receive loading dose of aspirin if not already taken at home. CYP2C19 results only affect decision regarding clopidogrel and ticagrelor but not aspirin. Aspirin is not affected by CYP2C19 mutation and will be given immediately without waiting for CYP2C19 results.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

CYP2C19 Genotype Guided DAPT (dual antiplatelet therapy)

Intervention Type GENETIC

CYP2C19 is a gene that encodes an enzyme responsible for metabolizing several medications, including the antiplatelet drugs.
