Comparison of Anti-coagulation and anti-Platelet Therapies for Intracranial Vascular Atherostenosis

Brief description of study

CAPTIVA is a two-stage Phase III trial randomizing subjects with stroke attributed to 70-99% intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS) to 12 months treatment of: 1) ticagrelor (180 mg loading dose, then 90mg twice daily) + aspirin 81 mg / day, or 2) low dose rivaroxaban (2.5mg twice daily) + aspirin 81 mg / day, or 3) clopidogrel (600mg loading dose, then 75 mg daily) + aspirin 81 mg/day. The primary goal of the trial is to determine if the experimental arm(s) (rivaroxaban or ticagrelor or both) are superior to the clopidogrel arm for lowering the 1-year rate of the primary endpoint (ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or vascular death).
