About this trial

This study is a multicenter, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate whether early prophylactic use of aspirin improves functional outcomes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Patients with aSAH who have undergone successful aneurysm securing will be randomly assigned to receive either aspirin plus standard care or a placebo plus standard care. The study drug will be started within 48 hours of undergone successful aneurysm securing and continued for not less than 10 days and not more than 14 consecutive days. The main goal is to compare the rate of favorable functional outcomes at 3 months between the two groups. Secondary goals include evaluating the incidence of delayed cerebral ischemia, cerebral infarction, mortality, and safety outcomes such as major bleeding events.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 80 years.

Spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) confirmed by non-contrast head CT.

Diagnosis of ruptured intracranial aneurysm confirmed, and successfully treated by either surgical clipping or endovascular coiling within 48 hours of ictus.

Hunt-Hess grade ≤ 4 or WFNS grade ≤ 4 (assessed within 48 hours of SAH onset).

Disqualifiers

Hunt-Hess grade 5 or WFNS grade 5 (assessed within 48 hours of SAH onset).

Patients requiring any intracranial stent or non-embolic intrasaccular device during aneurysm embolization, with post-procedural need for antiplatelet therapy.

Angiogram-negative SAH.

Note: Prior history of ruptured intracranial aneurysm or re-rupture of previously treated aneurysm is not excluded.

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Aspirin

    Drug

    Aspirin 100 mg (1 tablet) administered orally, via nasogastric tube, or rectally within 48 hours after aneurysm embolization or surgical clipping, once daily, for a minimum of 10 consecutive days and a maximum of 14 consecutive days.

  • Placebo

    Drug

    Placebo 1 tablet (identical in appearance to aspirin 100 mg) administered orally, via nasogastric tube, or rectally within 48 hours after aneurysm embolization or surgical clipping, once daily, for a minimum of 10 consecutive days and a maximum of 14 consecutive days.
