The REstart or STop Antithrombotics Randomised Trial (RESTART) after stroke due to intracerebral haemorrhage: statistical analysis plan for a randomised controlled trial

Abstract Background: For adults surviving stroke due to spontaneous (non-traumatic) intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) who had taken an antithrombotic (i.e. anticoagulant or antiplatelet) drug for the prevention of vaso-occlusive disease before the ICH, it is unclear whether starting antiplatelet drugs modifies the risks of recurrent ICH, haemorrhagic events, vaso-occlusive events, or a composite of all serious vascular events compared to avoiding antiplatelet drugs. Methods/design: The REstart or STop Antithrombotics Randomised Trial (RESTART) is an investigator-led, parallel group, open, assessor-blind, randomised trial comparing starting versus avoiding antiplatelet drugs for adults surviving antithrombotic-associated ICH. Recruitment began on 22 May 2013 and ended on 31 May 2018. Follow-up ended on 30 November 2018. This update to the protocol describes the statistical analysis plan (version 1.7, finalised on 25 January 2019). Database lock and un-blinding occured on 29 January 2019, after which the un-blinded trial statistician conducted the final analyses according to this statistical analysis plan. Discussion: Final results of RESTART will be analysed and disseminated in May 2019. Trial registration: ISRCTN registry 71907627. Prospectively registered on 25 April 2013. The trial is funded by a British Heart Foundation special project grant (SP/12/2/29422) and a travel fellowship (FS/13/72/30531). The trial sponsor is the Academic and Clinical Central Office for Research and Development (ACCORD), which is a partnership between the University of Edinburgh and NHS Lothian Health Board..
