Blood thinners after stroke for people with atrial fibrillation and prior brain bleed
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a blood thinner after a stroke is safe and helpful for people who have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and have had a bleeding stroke in the past. It aims to prevent future strokes while managing the risk of another brain bleed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have had a recent stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel (ischemic stroke), confirmed by imaging.
- You have a history of a bleeding stroke (intracerebral hemorrhage) that happened on its own, not from an injury or a structural problem in the brain.
- You have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) that is not related to a heart valve problem.
- You are able to give informed consent (or have someone who can do it for you).

This Phase 3 study tests whether a blood thinner (apixaban) can help prevent another stroke and support recovery after you’ve had a brain bleed. You would be assigned to a treatment group, and the study checks safety and whether strokes can be reduced without causing dangerous bleeding.
This trial tests whether switching to a different type of blood thinner is better than continuing the same type after a stroke. It aims to find the safest way to prevent another stroke in people with atrial fibrillation.
This trial tests whether starting blood thinners soon after a procedure to remove a blood clot from the brain can safely prevent another stroke in people who have atrial fibrillation. Participation is for those who had a severe stroke, received the clot-removal procedure, and are medically stable afterward.
This Phase 3 trial studies whether it’s safer to avoid long-term blood thinners after a spontaneous brain bleed in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It compares different prevention strategies to lower the risk of stroke or other blood-vessel problems without causing new, serious bleeding.
This trial compares two ways to manage blood-thinning medications after a successful atrial fibrillation ablation, specifically for people who also have a heart stent. It aims to find the safest and most effective strategy to prevent strokes and bleeding.
This study looks at people who had a stroke while taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) for an irregular heartbeat. It aims to learn more about these strokes and how to better prevent them in the future.
