Stroke from artery narrowing: testing combination of anti-platelet drugs
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a combination of two or three anti-platelet medicines (like aspirin, clopidogrel, or cilostazol) is safe and works better than one alone for people who had a stroke from a narrowed artery. The goal is to prevent another stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years or older.
- You had a stroke caused by a narrowed artery in your neck or brain (large artery atherosclerosis).
- You can agree to join the study within 3 days of the stroke.
- You do not have bleeding in the brain or need long-term blood thinners for other reasons.
- You are not allergic to aspirin, clopidogrel, or cilostazol.
- If you could become pregnant, you agree to use birth control or avoid pregnancy.

This trial tests a combination of two blood thinners (antiplatelet drugs) to see if they work better than one in people who had a mild stroke caused by a narrowed artery in the brain. If you had a recent first stroke and are otherwise healthy, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a combination of antiplatelet drugs and artery-stabilizing medication can improve recovery after a small stroke caused by damage to tiny blood vessels in the brain. It may help prevent further strokes and support healing.
This trial is testing whether combining aspirin with either cilostazol or clopidogrel is more effective at preventing another stroke after a minor stroke or TIA. It is for people who had their first mild stroke or TIA and started a blood thinner within 24 hours.
This trial tests a combination of blood thinners to prevent another stroke in people who have a narrowed artery in the brain. It compares standard treatment to a combination of low-dose blood thinners to see if this approach works better to prevent future strokes.
This trial tests whether placing a stent in a severely narrowed brain artery, along with aggressive medication, can prevent another stroke better than medication alone. It is for people who had a mild stroke within the last 30 days due to a 70-99% blockage in a major brain artery.
This trial tests whether adding cilostazol or clopidogrel to aspirin is safe and effective for people who recently had a mild stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) caused by a large artery blockage. It aims to prevent another stroke during the first 90 days.
