Clopidogrel plus a statin for large-vessel stroke recovery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding clopidogrel (a blood thinner) to atorvastatin or rosuvastatin (cholesterol-lowering drugs) helps people who had a first-time large-vessel ischemic stroke. It aims to find the best way to prevent another stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- This must be your first large-vessel ischemic stroke (a clot in a big artery in the brain).
- Your stroke should be moderate (not too mild or too severe).
- You cannot have a heart condition that sends clots to the brain, like atrial fibrillation.
- You cannot have certain medical conditions such as active cancer, recent heart attack, or bleeding risks.
- You cannot be taking certain other medications like strong stomach acid reducers or specific blood thinners.

This study tests if combining the blood thinner clopidogrel with either atorvastatin or rosuvastatin (both cholesterol-lowering drugs) works better for people who have had a mild first-time stroke in the small blood vessels of the brain. The goal is to find a safe and effective treatment regimen.
This trial tests whether adding aspirin to either ticagrelor or clopidogrel (two antiplatelet medicines) can help prevent another stroke in people who recently had a minor stroke or TIA affecting a large brain artery. It is for people who started antiplatelet treatment within 24 hours of their symptoms.
This trial tests whether adding ticagrelor or cilostazol to aspirin is better than aspirin alone for preventing another stroke. It is for patients who recently had a minor stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) caused by a blockage in a large artery.
This trial tests whether starting a high dose of a statin (a cholesterol-lowering medicine) soon after a stroke can improve your cholesterol levels. It is for people who have had a stroke or have significant narrowing of arteries in the brain or neck.
This trial compares two treatments for people who recently had a stroke or TIA and have high cholesterol with artery plaque. Some participants will get a combination of two cholesterol-lowering medicines (statin and ezetimibe), while others will get only a statin.
This study tests whether adjusting blood-thinner medication based on a blood test can better prevent another stroke in people who recently had a minor stroke or a high-risk mini-stroke. It aims to find the safest and most effective dose for each patient.
