Cilostazol to prevent another stroke in Africa
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether the drug cilostazol, when added to your usual aspirin or clopidogrel, can help prevent another stroke. It is being done in Africa and may be a good option if you've recently had a stroke or mini-stroke and want to lower your risk of another one.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 30 years old.
- You had a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel, or a high-risk mini-stroke (TIA), within the past 6 months.
- You are currently taking only one blood-thinning pill: either aspirin or clopidogrel (not both).
- You can attend about 7 study visits for blood tests and check-ups.
- Your doctor agrees you are stable enough to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two medications—cilostazol and aspirin—to see which is better at preventing another stroke in people who have had a recent clot-caused stroke and also have tiny spots of bleeding in the brain (microbleeds). It aims to find a safer and more effective treatment for this specific group.
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a daily “polypill” can reduce the chance of another stroke after a recent ischemic stroke. It may help people by improving several heart-and-blood-vessel risks at once, but only if it fits safely with their medical situation.
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 study tests whether the drug cilostazol can help prevent another stroke or mini-stroke (TIA) in people who have already had one. It compares adding cilostazol to the standard blood-thinning medicines you and your doctor would normally use.
This trial tests whether the drug cilostazol can help prevent another stroke and slow down damage to the brain's small blood vessels. It may be a good option if you have recently had a small-vessel stroke and have white matter changes on your MRI.
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.
