Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inclusion Criteria: -Participant must be 45 years of age and older at the time of signing the informed consent -Non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke with persistent signs and symptoms of stroke lasting for >= 24 hours OR acute brain infarction documented by computed tomography (CT) or MRI AND with the intention to be treated with antiplatelet therapy during the study conduct -Imaging of brain (CT or MRI) ruling out hemorrhagic stroke or another pathology that could explain symptoms (e.g. brain tumor, abscess, vascular malformation) -Severity of index event nearest the time of randomization: Part A: minor stroke (defined as National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) =< 7) can be enrolled Part B: participants with minor or moderate stroke and NIHSS =< 15 can be enrolled. Participants undergoing thrombolysis or endovascular therapy (mechanical thrombectomy) can be enrolled but at the earliest 24 hours after the intervention -Randomization within 48 hours after the onset of symptoms of the index event (or after patients were last known to be without symptoms in case of wake-up stroke) -Ability to conduct an MRI either before randomization or within 72 hours after randomization
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion Criteria: -Prior ischemic stroke within last 30 days of index event -History of atrial fibrillation or suspicion of cardioembolic source of stroke -Dysphagia with inability to safely swallow study medication -Contraindication to perform brain MRI -Part A only: thrombolysis or endovascular therapy (mechanical thrombectomy) performed for index event -Active bleeding; known bleeding disorder, history of major bleeding (intracranial, retroperitoneal, intraocular) or clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding within last 6 months of randomization
