Brief Summary  

In the BEAT-ICH Trial, we aim to reduce the risk of MACE with antiplatelet monotherapy in ICH patients. It will be a three-year pragmatic, randomised, blinded, superiority clinical trial aiming to recruit patients over 18 years who survive ICH and assign them to starting antiplatelet monotherapy Aspirin 75 mg od versus placebo for preventing MACE.

 

All the first-ever ICH (non-traumatic) patients aged 18 years and above presenting more than equal to 24 hrs of the onset of stroke symptoms confirmed by brain imaging; alive more than equal to 24 hours after non-traumatic with ICH volume of hematoma less than 60 ml and Glasgow comma scale less than equal to 5 will be recruited. The primary outcome is to assess the efficacy of a composite of all MACE.

 

The duration of medication and follow-up will depend on the recruitment timeline. Patients recruited during the first year of the trial will take the medication for three years or until the trial ends or an event occurs, with a matching follow-up period. The total recruitment period will last 2.5 years, with a corresponding follow-up period, ensuring that the last patient recruited will participate for at least six months for both medication and follow-up.
