Why the study?
Prospective trial evidence regarding the effects of CYP2C19 genotypes on clopidogrel preventing cardiovascular events in patients with acute ischemic stroke remains limited.
Does CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele carrier status increase the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with clopidogrel?

2910 patients receiving clopidogrel within 72 hours of acute ischemic stroke
Comparison
CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele carriers vs noncarriers
Design
Multicenter prospective nonrandomized clinical trial
Follow-up
6 months

CYP2C19 genotype may refine clopidogrel prognosis in ischemic stroke; extends limited observational data but leaves clinical adoption open.
Does CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele carrier status increase the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with clopidogrel?
In patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with clopidogrel, carriers of the CYP2C19 loss-of-function allele have a significantly higher risk of subsequent cardiovascular events at 6 months compared to noncarriers.
