Who might be able to join this trial:
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have been diagnosed with a stroke caused by a large blocked blood vessel in the brain
- You received emergency treatment to unblock the blood vessel within 24 hours of your stroke starting
- You have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm), confirmed by a heart tracing (ECG), heart monitor during hospital stay, a longer-term heart monitor (such as a Holter monitor), or previous medical records
- A brain scan (CT or MRI) has shown a specific type of bleeding in or around the area of the stroke (confirm with trial site for exact type)
- You are being enrolled between 7 days and 4 weeks after your stroke started
- You or a legally authorised representative are able to give written consent to take part
Who may not be able to join:
- Your irregular heart rhythm is caused by a treatable or temporary condition, such as a thyroid problem, heart inflammation, recent surgery, or a heart attack
- You cannot take blood-thinning medications called direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) — for example, due to an allergy, a specific heart valve condition requiring a different blood thinner, serious kidney or liver problems, certain other medications you take, a low platelet count, or a history of bleeding or clotting disorders
- You have already taken certain blood-thinning medications too recently before the trial starts
- You are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a positive pregnancy test on admission
- You had major surgery or a serious injury within one month before your stroke
- You had an active bleeding problem (such as stomach or urinary bleeding) within one month before your stroke
- You are currently taking two antiplatelet medications together (such as aspirin and clopidogrel), or it is likely you will need to during the trial
- Your brain scan shows signs of a specific condition affecting small blood vessels called cerebral amyloid angiopathy
- Your brain scan suggests your symptoms may be caused by something other than a stroke, such as a tumour or brain inflammation
- You had significant disability or dependence before your stroke (confirm with trial site)
- You are unlikely to be able to attend or complete a follow-up appointment at 90 days
- You are currently taking part in another medication clinical trial
