A secondary analysis of the POINT randomized, clinical trial found that the risk of major hemorrhage associated with clopidogrel plus aspirin was higher than that with placebo plus aspirin (0.9% vs. 0.2%; hazard ratio, 3.57; 95% confidence interval, 1.44-8.85; P = .003). The study, which was published in JAMA Neurology, randomized nearly 4,900 patients at centers worldwide and concluded that overall the risk for hemorrhage was low with either treatment, although it did also find higher risk of minor hemorrhage with the combination than aspirin alone.
We previously covered results from POINT when they were presented at the World Stroke Congress, which can be found below.
