Arms of the Study

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

No Intervention

Arm Label

Start oral anticoagulant (OAC)

Do not start oral anticoagulant (OAC)

Arm Description

If the patient is randomized in this arm, an oral anticoagulant: Factor Xa inhibitors: Apixaban or Rivaroxaban or Edoxaban or Direct thrombin inhibitor: Dabigatran or Vitamin K antagonists: Acenocoumarol or Phenindione or Warfarin chosen by the patient's physician before the randomisation, will be prescribed long-term (≥1 year) to the patient.

If the patient is randomized in this arm, anticoagulant drugs will not be prescribed to the patient during the entire study period. The standard clinical practice without OAC may include: antiplatelet drug(s) or no antithrombotic drugs.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The number of participants recruited per site per month (in the pilot phase of the trial)
The rate of recruiting up to 60 participants to determine the feasibility of recruiting the target sample size in the main phase of the trial in an acceptable timescale.
Recurrent symptomatic spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage (in the safety phase of the trial)
~60 hospital sites will recruit at least 190 participants to determine whether the risk of recurrent symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage is sufficiently low (non-inferior) to justify a definitive trial.

Secondary Outcome Measures

The proportions of all eligible patients recorded on screening logs who are recruited, unsuitable, or decline to participate (in the pilot phase of the trial)
The acceptability of the trial protocol to investigators and patients.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Primary research question: For adults surviving spontaneous (non-traumatic) symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage with persistent/paroxysmal atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF), does starting full treatment dose oral anticoagulation (OAC) result in a beneficial net reduction of all serious vascular events compared with not starting OAC? Trial design: Investigator-led, multicentre, randomised, open, assessor-masked, parallel group, clinical trial of investigational medicinal product (CTIMP) prescribing strategies. Investigators plan for a pilot phase, followed by a safety phase.
Detailed Description
Bleeding within the skull, also known as brain haemorrhage, affects 3 million people in the world each year. One in five people who survive brain haemorrhage have an irregular heart rhythm called 'atrial fibrillation', which puts them at risk of stroke and other blood clots. Blood-thinning medicines, known as 'anticoagulant' drugs, are used in everyday clinical practice to protect people with atrial fibrillation from developing blood clots. However, these drugs also increase the risk of bleeding and are usually stopped when the brain haemorrhage occurs. But when patients recover from brain haemorrhage, they and their doctors are often uncertain about whether to start or stop these drugs to prevent further clots occurring, or whether to avoid them in case they increase the risk of brain haemorrhage happening again. Investigators want to find out whether starting or not starting an anticoagulant drugs is better for those patients. A network of hospital doctors, nurses, and other staff will identify people who survive brain haemorrhage and have atrial fibrillation. If a patient and their doctor are uncertain about whether to start an anticoagulant drug, they may invite the patient to participate. In the pilot phase, investigators aim to recruit at least 60 participants to determine the feasibility of recruiting the target sample size of at least 190 participants in the safety phase of the trial. Investigators will follow-up all participants for at least one year to determine whether prescribing an anticoagulant drug reduces the occurrence of all serious vascular events like heart attack, stroke compared with a policy of avoiding oral anticoagulant.
