Comparing two blood thinners for leg pain after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests two blood-thinning medicines (sarpogrelate and clopidogrel) to see which one improves leg blood flow and reduces leg pain in people who have had a stroke and also have blocked leg arteries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 19 years or older.
- You had a stroke (caused by a blood clot) at least 7 days ago but less than 6 months ago, and are now stable.
- You have leg pain or cramping when walking that eases with rest (a sign of blocked leg arteries).
- You have a lower than normal blood pressure reading in your ankle, confirmed by a test within the last 6 months.
- You are able to take blood-thinning medication and do not have any condition that increases bleeding risk.

This study tests two different blood-thinning medicines to see which is better at preventing another stroke in people who recently had a stroke with no clear cause. The goal is to find a treatment that works well and is safe for you.
This study tests whether a common blood thinner (apixaban) alone is as safe and effective as combining it with another drug (clopidogrel) to prevent future strokes in people who have both atrial fibrillation and narrowing in the arteries leading to the brain. It aims to find the best way to reduce stroke risk while minimizing bleeding.
This trial tests whether taking just one blood thinner (clopidogrel) is as safe and effective as taking two (clopidogrel plus aspirin) for older adults or people at high bleeding risk who have had a drug-coated balloon procedure to open blocked heart arteries.
This trial compares two blood-thinning drugs (clopidogrel and cilostazol) to see which one better prevents artery problems in people with diabetes and thickened carotid arteries. It may help you if you have diabetes and are already on stable medications.
This study compares two blood thinners, edoxaban and apixaban, to see how they affect new brain lesions seen on MRI in people who have had a stroke and also have atrial fibrillation. It aims to find which might be safer for preventing future brain damage.
This study looks at whether giving certain blood-thinning medicines after a leg artery procedure helps prevent serious problems like heart attacks or strokes. It compares different treatment plans to see which is safer and more effective.
