Study of Antithrombotic Treatment After IntraCerebral Haemorrhage (STATICH)

February 10, 2025 updated by: Torgeir Bruun Wyller, Oslo University Hospital
The study evaluates the effects of antithrombotic drugs (anticoagulant drugs or antiplatelet drugs) for prevention of ischaemic events in patients With recent intracerebral haemorrhage.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Patients with spontaneous ICH have an increased risk of recurrent ICH and they also have an increased risk of ischaemic diseases. Around 40-50% of patients use, or have an indication, for antithrombotic drugs at the time of ICH. However, little is known about the benefits and harms of using antithrombotic drugs for prevention of ischaemic events in patients who have had an ICH.

There are only observational studies addressing this question. Because of the lack of randomised-controlled trials and the inconclusive findings of the observational studies, guidelines have variably endorsed both starting and avoiding antithrombotic drugs after ICH.

The investigators therefore want to study the effect and safety of using antithrombotic drugs after ICH. Furthermore, since findings on MRI can be biomarkers for subsequent bleeding, there will also be performed a sub-study of the association between such findings on MRI and risk of recurrent ICH during treatment with antithrombotic drugs.

Patients with ICH during the last 6 months and with an indication for antithrombotic drugs will be included. Patients with vascular disease and indication for antiplatelet drugs will be randomised to antiplatelet treatment vs. no antithrombotic treatment. Patients with atrial fibrillation and indication for anticoagulant treatment will be randomised to anticoagulant treatment vs. no anticoagulant treatment. The follow up period is 2 years, and the primary effect variable is new ICH. The investigators will also assess new intracranial haemorrhage, extracranial haemorrhage and ischemic events, and functional and cognitive outcome.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient age ≥18 years.

  • Spontaneous, primary ICH, of ≥1 day, but not more than 180 days after onset of qualifying ICH, i.e.:

    • No preceding traumatic brain injury, based on history from the patient/witness of spontaneous symptom onset, and brain imaging appearances consistent of spontaneous ICH (i.e. any brain/bone/soft tissue appearances of trauma must have occurred secondary to a spontaneous ICH)
    • No 'secondary' or underlying structural cause (e.g. haemorrhagic transformation of an ischaemic stroke, aneurysm, tumour, arteriovenous malformation, or intracerebral venous thrombosis)
  • Patient have indication for antithrombotic (i.e. anticoagulant or antiplatelet) drug for the prevention of ischaemic events, either antiplatelet drugs (for patients with vascular disease), or anticoagulant drug for patients with atrial fibrillation.
  • Consent to randomisation from the patient (or personal / legal / professional representative if the patient does not have mental capacity).
  • MRI (or CT) is performed before randomisation.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Clear indication for antiplatelet or anticoagulant treatment (e.g. prosthetic heart valves).
  • Contraindications to the antithrombotic drug that will be administered.
  • Patient is pregnant, breastfeeding, or of childbearing age and not taking contraception.
  • For patients examined with MRI: Contraindication for brain MRI
  • Malignancy with life expectancy less than 2 years
