Atorvastatin Pretreatment in Cerebrovascular Events (APICES) After Flow Diverter Implantation
Summary
APICES trial is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial that plans to enroll 396 patients with a 1-year follow-up, including a neurovascular imaging examination \[digital subtraction angiography (DSA), CT angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA)\] at 6 months after index treatment. It was designed in compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization Good Clinical Practice guidelines. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Zhujiang Hospital of South Medical University (2024-KY-032-02) and registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06308952). The participants will be recruited from twelve advanced stroke centers in China.
