Trial short title
CROMIS-2
Trial long title
Microbleeds and genetic risk factors to predict the risk of intracranial haemorrhage in tatients treated with anticoagulation following cardioembolic stroke due to atrial fibrillation
Trial outcome
To develop a successful predictive model for ICH risk after best practice oral anticoagulation for AF will help to determine whether genetic or CMB screening should be used in clinical practice and future trials. New genetic, clinical and radiological risk factors associated with anticoagulant-related ICH will be identified.

Trial long title
Enhanced control of hypertension and thrombolysis stroke study
Trial outcome
This study is an international, multicentre, prospective, fixed-time point (optional) randomisation for two arms ([A] ‘dose of rtPA’ and [B] ‘level of BP control’), open, blinded endpoint (PROBE), controlled trial that will involve 4800 patients (3300 for arm [A] and 2304 for arm [B] with overlap of approximately 800 patients) with acute ischaemic stroke recruited from over 100+ Clinical Centres from Australia, Asia, Europe and South America.

Trial short title
EXTRAS
Trial long title
A trial to evaluate an extended rehabilitation service for stroke patients
Trial outcome
The EXTRAS trial aims to determine the clinical and cost effectiveness of an extended stroke rehabilitation service. Stroke patients and carers who agree to participate in the trial are randomly allocated to either receive a new extended stroke rehabilitation service or to continue with usual NHS care.  The effectiveness of the new extended rehabilitation service will be evaluated by comparing the health of patients and carers who received the new service with those who received usual NHS care.

Trial outcome
The NAVIGATE ESUS research study is seeking a safe and more effective alternative to aspirin treatment to prevent another stroke in patients who already suffered a stroke of uncertain cause. “ESUS” stands for Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source.
