Rationale and design of a randomised double-blind 2×2 factorial trial comparing the effect of a 3-month intensive statin and antiplatelet therapy for patients with acute mild ischaemic stroke or high-risk TIA with intracranial or extracranial atherosclerosis (INSPIRES)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: It remains unclear if intensive antiplatelet and statin treatments begun within 24-72 hours of cerebral ischaemic events from intracranial or extracranial atherosclerosis is effective or safe. METHODS: The Intensive Statin and Antiplatelet Therapy for High-risk Intracranial or Extracranial Atherosclerosis (INSPIRES) trial is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre and 2×2 factorial trial. 6100 individuals between the ages of 35 and 80 who have experienced a mild ischaemic stroke or high-risk transient ischaemic attack (TIA) within the previous 72 hours that is attributed to ≥50% atherosclerotic stenosis of a major intracranial or extracranial artery or multiple infarctions of atherosclerotic origin will be enrolled in the trial. Eligible subjects will be randomised 1:1:1:1 to one of four groups: (1) intensive antiplatelet therapy (combined clopidogrel and aspirin for days 1-21, then aspirin placebo and clopidogrel for days 22-90) plus immediate intensive statin therapy(atorvastatin at a dose of 80 mg daily for the first 21 days, then 40 mg daily for days 22-90); (2) intensive antiplatelet therapy plus delayed intensive statin therapy (atorvastatin placebo for days 1-3, followed by 40 mg per day of atorvastatin for days 4-90); (3) standard antiplatelet therapy (combination of clopidogrel placebo with aspirin for 90 days) plus immediate intensive statin therapy and (4) standard antiplatelet therapy plus delayed intensive statin therapy. The primary efficacy endpoint is any new stroke (ischaemic or haemorrhagic) within 90 days after randomisation. The primary safety endpoint is moderate to severe bleeding at 90 days. CONCLUSION: The INSPIRES trial will assess the efficacy and safety of intensive antiplatelet therapy and immediate intensive statin therapy begun within 72 hours of onset in decreasing the recurrent stroke at 90 days in patients with acute mild ischaemic stroke or high-risk TIA of intracranial or extracranial atherosclerosis origin.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
