Outcome |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Randomization within 24 hours of symptom onset | 11,016 | 0.5% vs 0.1%, (P=0.001) |
Lower risk of stroke or death within 30 days but increase risk of major hemorrhage. |

Lower risk of major ischemic events but a higher risk of major hemorrhage at 90 days |
CHANCE | Wang et al. NEJM 2013 [24] |
Randomized, double-blind, placebo- controlled trial |
Randomization within 24 hours of symptom onset | 5170 | 0.3% vs 0.3%, (P=0.73) |
