主要研究背景及目的

Objectives: To investigate the short-term time course benefit and risk of ticagrelor with aspirin in acute mild-moderate ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA) in the THALES (The Acute Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack Treated with Ticagrelor and ASA for Prevention of Stroke and Death) trial.

方法

In an exploratory analysis of the THALES trial, we evaluated the cumulative incidence of irreversible efficacy and safety outcomes at different timepoints during the 30-day treatment period. The efficacy outcome was major ischemic events defined as a composite of ischemic stroke or non-hemorrhagic death. The safety outcome was major hemorrhage defined as a composite of intracranial hemorrhage and fatal bleedings. Net clinical impact was defined as the combination of these two endpoints.

结论

In patients with mild-moderate ischemic stroke or high-risk TIA, the treatment effect of ticagrelor-aspirin was present from the first week. The ischemic benefit of ticagrelor-aspirin outweighs the risk of major hemorrhage throughout the treatment period, which may support the use of 30 days treatment with ticagrelor and aspirin in these patients.

主要结果

This analysis included a total of 11,016 patients (5523 in the ticagrelor-aspirin group and 5493 in the aspirin group) with mean age of 65 years, and 39% were women. The reduction of major ischemic events by ticagrelor occurred in the first week (4.1% vs 5.3%; absolute risk reduction 1.15%, 95% CI 0.36% to 1.94%), and remained throughout the 30-day treatment period. An increase in major hemorrhage was seen during the first week and remained relatively constant in the following weeks (absolute risk increase, approximately 0.3%). Cumulative analysis showed that the net clinical impact favored ticagrelor-aspirin in the first week (absolute risk reduction 0.97%, 95% CI, 0.17% to 1.77%) and remained constant throughout the 30 days.
