About this study
Official title: Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Double-dummy, Active-comparator, Event-driven, Superiority Phase III Study of Secondary Prevention of Stroke and Prevention of Systemic Embolism in Patients With a Recent Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS), Comparing Rivaroxaban 15 mg Once Daily With Aspirin 100 mg
This is a study in patients who recently had a brain attack (stroke) and in whom no clear cause of the stroke could be identified. These strokes are likely due to a blood clot and therefore, can be called embolic stroke of undetermined source. The abbreviation is ESUS. The study will compare 2 blood thinners. Patients will be randomly assigned to either Rivaroxaban 15 mg or Aspirin 100 mg and the study is intended to show, if patients given rivaroxaban have fewer blood clots in the brain (stroke) or in other blood vessels.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incidence Rate of the Composite Efficacy Outcome (Adjudicated)
Components of composite efficacy outcome (adjudicated) includes stroke (ischemic, hemorrhagic, and undefined stroke, TIA with positive neuroimaging) and systemic embolism. Incidence rate estimated as number of participants with incident events divided by cumulative at-risk time, where participant is no longer at risk once an incident event occurred.
Measured: From randomization until the efficacy cut-off date (median 326 days)
Incidence Rate of a Major Bleeding Event According to the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Criteria (Adjudicated)
Major bleeding event (as per ISTH), defined as bleeding event that met at least one of following: fatal bleeding; symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ (intraarticular, intramuscular with compartment syndrome, intraocular, intraspinal, pericardial, or retroperitoneal); symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage; clinically overt bleeding associated with a recent decrease in the hemoglobin level of greater than or equal to (>=) 2 grams per decilitre (g/dL) (20 grams per liter [g/L]; 1.24 millimoles per liter [mmol/L]) compared to the most recent hemoglobin value available before the event; clinically overt bleeding leading to transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells or whole blood. The results were based on classification of events that have been positively adjudicated as major bleeding events. Incidence rate estimated as number of subjects with incident events divided by cumulative at-risk time, where subject is no longer at risk once an incident event occurred.
Measured: From randomization until the efficacy cut-off date (median 326 days)
Secondary outcomes (6)
Incidence Rate of Any of the Following: Cardiovascular Death, Recurrent Stroke, Systemic Embolism and Myocardial Infarction
Incidence rate estimated as number of participants with incident events divided by cumulative at-risk time, where participant is no longer at risk once an incident event occurred. Cardiovascular death includes death due to hemorrhage and death with undetermined/unknown cause. Systemic embolism is defined as abrupt vascular insufficiency associated with clinical or radiological evidence of arterial occlusion in the absence of other likely mechanisms. The diagnosis of myocardial infarction requires the combination of: 1)evidence of myocardial necrosis (either changes in cardiac biomarkers or post-mortem pathological findings); and 2)supporting information derived from the clinical presentation, electrocardiographic changes, or the results of myocardial or coronary artery imaging.
Measured: From randomization until the efficacy cut-off date (median 326 days)
Incidence Rate of All-Cause Mortality
All-cause mortality includes all deaths of participants due to any cause.
Measured: From randomization until the efficacy cut-off date (median 326 days)
Incidence Rate of the Following: Stroke, Ischemic Stroke, Disabling Stroke, Cardiovascular (CV) Death, Myocardial Infarction
Disabling stroke is defined as stroke with modified Rankin score (mRS) greater than or equal to (>=) 4 as assessed by investigator. mRS spans 0-6, running from perfect health to death. A score of 0-3 indicates functional status ranging from no symptoms to "moderate disability" (defined in the mRS as requiring some help, but able to walk without assistance); mRS 4-6 indicates functional status ranging from "moderately severe disability" (unable to walk or to attend to own bodily needs without assistance)through to death. CV death includes death due to hemorrhage and death with undetermined/unknown cause. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction requires combination of: 1) evidence of myocardial necrosis either changes in cardiac biomarkers or post-mortem pathological findings); 2) supporting information derived from clinical presentation, electrocardiographic changes, or results of myocardial or coronary artery imaging.
Measured: From randomization until the efficacy cut-off date (median 326 days)
Incidence Rate of Life-Threatening Bleeding Events
Life-threatening bleeding was defined as a subset of major bleeding that met at least one of the following criteria: 1) fatal bleeding; 2) symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage; 3) reduction in hemoglobin of at least 5 g/dl (50 g/l; 3.10 mmol/L); 4) transfusion of at least 4 units of packed red cells or whole blood; 5) associated with hypotension requiring the use of intravenous inotropic agents; 6) necessitated surgical intervention. Incidence rate estimated as number of participants with incident events divided by cumulative at-risk time, where participant is no longer at risk once an incident event occurred.
Measured: From randomization until the efficacy cut-off date (median 326 days)
Incidence Rate of Clinically Relevant Non-Major Bleeding Events
Non-major clinically relevant bleeding was defined as non-major overt bleeding but required medical attention (example: hospitalization, medical treatment for bleeding), and/or was associated with the study drug interruption of more than 14 days. The results were based on the outcome events at or after randomization until the efficacy cut-off date. Incidence rate estimated as number of participants with incident events divided by cumulative at-risk time, where participant is no longer at risk once an incident event occurred.
Measured: From randomization until the efficacy cut-off date (median 326 days)
Incidence Rate of Intracranial Hemorrhage
Intracranial hemorrhage included all bleeding events that occurred in intracerebral, sub arachnoidal as well as subdural or epidural sites. The below table displays results for all randomized participants and the outcomes at or after randomization until the efficacy cut-off date. Incidence rate estimated as number of participants with incident events divided by cumulative at-risk time, where participant is no longer at risk once an incident event occurred.
Measured: From randomization until the efficacy cut-off date (median 326 days)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a study in patients who recently had a brain attack (stroke) and in whom no clear cause of the stroke could be identified. These strokes are likely due to a blood clot and therefore, can be called embolic stroke of undetermined source. The abbreviation is ESUS. The study will compare 2 blood thinners. Patients will be randomly assigned to either Rivaroxaban 15 mg or Aspirin 100 mg and the study is intended to show, if patients given rivaroxaban have fewer blood clots in the brain (stroke) or in other blood vessels.

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jan 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence Rate of the Composite Efficacy Outcome (Adjudicated) (time frame: From randomization until the efficacy cut-off date (median 326 days)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02313909, which also lists 15 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
