Mid-regional pro-atrial natriuretic peptide as a guide for secondary stroke prevention: The MOSES study
Zusammenfassung der Studie
To prevent further strokes, two groups of medications are used: antiplatelets or anticoagulants. So far, all patients without underlying cardiac disease, such as an irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation), receive antiplatelets as standard therapy. In contrast, for patients with atrial fibrillation, anticoagulants are more effective for stroke prevention. We aim to investigate in this study whether, in stroke patients where a blood value (MRproANP) indicates a high suspicion of underlying cardiac disease, anticoagulants are more effective compared to the usual standard therapy in preventing further strokes.

Untersuchte Intervention
Patients are randomly assigned either to the group with standard treatment with antiplatelets (such as Aspirin® or Clopidogrel®) or to the group with anticoagulants, known as direct oral anticoagulants. The following direct oral anticoagulants, already approved in Switzerland and the European Union for stroke prevention, may be used in this study at usual dosages: Dabigatran (Pradaxa®), Apixaban (Eliquis®), and Edoxaban (Lixiana®). In both groups, the patient receives the recommended dosage of the respective medication for stroke prevention according to the package insert/professional information. The study participation lasts one year.

Untersuchte Krankheit(en)
Acute ischemic stroke in patients without known atrial fibrillation
(BASEC)
Patients may participate in the study if they are over 18 years old, have suffered a stroke due to insufficient blood flow to the brain (ischemic stroke), and have an increased risk of underlying cardiac disease based on a blood value (MRproANP). (BASEC)
Ausschlusskriterien
Patients may not participate if they have renal failure, have had intracranial bleeding in the last 24 months, or present a high bleeding risk, as well as having known atrial fibrillation. (BASEC)
