Description
The ASPIRE study is a randomized, double-blinded, phase III clinical trial designed to test the efficacy and safety of apixaban, compared with aspirin, in patients with a recent ICH and non-valvular AF. A total of 700 patients, age 18 years or older, with an ICH 14-180 days before entry will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive apixaban (5 mg tablets twice daily, or 2.5 mg tablets twice daily for patients meeting standard dose-adjustment requirements) or aspirin (81 mg tablet once daily). Participants will be followed for study outcomes for a median of 24 months (minimum 12 months, maximum 36 months).
