#STROKE Comments & Opinions by Mayank Goyal & Aravind Ganesh: Selective recruitment into clinical trials based on factors other than those outlined in the study selection criteria threatens both the internal and external validity of the trial. DCNS Calgary ahajrnls.org/44E4C78

🚨Time for the stroke world to drop recertification & retraining requirements for NIHSS & mRS!

First RCT of colchicine in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at #ESOC2025 shows it's feasible & potentially safe. Though not powered for efficacy, no ischemic strokes occurred, and recurrent ICH only in placebo group. Phase III coming next! #ESOC2025 #Stroke #VoiceOfStroke

Kudos to Aristeidis Katsanos for his effective leadership of CoVasc-ICH! This Canada-led first RCT testing colchicine in acute ICH has provided the requisite feasibility metrics to effectively plan our global phase III trial, CoVasc-ICH 2 (phri.ca/research/covas…). Stay tuned!

We truly appreciate the superb efforts, support, and guidance of our Canadian colleagues, Steering Committee & study team in successfully completing this trial. magdy selim John Eikelboom Mike Sharma Amy Yu, MD Aravind Ganesh Vancouver Stroke Program Luciana Catanese, MD Andrew Demchuk
