Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Title: Optimal Delay Time to Initiate Anticoagulation after Ischemic Stroke in Atrial Fibrillation (START): a pragmatic, adaptive randomized clinical trial. Primary Objective: • To determine the optimal time to initiate anticoagulation with a Non-Vitamin K Oral Anticoagulant (NOAC) after ischemic stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Secondary Objectives: * To compare the rates of primary adverse outcomes in a per protocol analysis * To compare 30 day clinical outcomes by the modified Rankin scale among the time-to-treatment groups * To compare 90 day clinical outcomes by the modified Rankin scale among the time-to-treatment groups * To explore the optimal timing in subgroups of age, sex, outcome category, and NOAC choice
