African American Antiplatelet Stroke Prevention Study (AAASPS)

AAASPS is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, controlled clinical trial to compare the effect of ticlopidine (500 mg/day) and aspirin (650 mg/day) in the prevention of recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction, and vascular death in African Americans with recent, noncardioembolic ischemic stroke. Eighteen hundred patients (900 in each group) at 50 sites nationally will be randomized at least 7 days but no more than 90 days after the qualifying event. Study patients will be followed up for 2 years. Analysis of key end points will use the intention-to-treat principle, and time-to-event data will be analyzed using Mantel-Haenszel and various regression methods. Safety analyses will focus on the incidence of severe adverse events, such as neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, gastrointestinal bleeding, and hepatic dysfunction.
