Safety and Efficacy of Aspirin in Stroke Patients With Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency (SAST)
Keywords
Abstract
Description
This SAST trial is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial.440 acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with G6PD deficiency will be randomized to receive a 3-month regimen of aspirin 100mg/d or clopidogrel 75mg/d. The primary end point is the proportion of protocol-defined hemolysis at 90 days. Protocol-defined hemolysis is defined as one or more of the following conditions: a) Hemoglobin level declined ≥2.5 g/dL from baseline, meanwhile ruling out bleeding events. b) Hemoglobin level declined ≥25% from baseline, meanwhile ruling out bleeding events. c) Clinically relevant hemolytic events, could manifested as fatigue, back pain, anemia, dark urine and jaundice. The study consists of five visits including the day of randomization, day 4, day10±3days, day27±3days, day90±7days.
