Trial Information

Summary: PROFESS: Have you or someone you know recently suffered a stroke?

If so, you may be eligible to participate in a research study. We are one of over 200 study centers in the United States participating in a clinical trial being conducted in at least 24 countries around the world. In total, approximately 15,500 people will participate.

If you are 55 years or older and have had an ischemic stroke (a blood clot in the brain) within the past 90 days, you may be eligible to participate in this research trial.

Your participation in the study could last 2-4 years, depending on when you enter the trial. As part of your study participation, you will receive at no cost to you:

• study medication
• study visits

After your initial visits, study participants will be seen approximately every 6 months.

The purpose of this study is to determine which combination of four currently marketed medications is most effective in reducing your risk of having a:

• second stroke
  or other vascular event such as
• heart attack
• pulmonary embolism
• TIA ("mini-stroke")

The information gathered from this study may benefit you, and many other people just like you.
