WSC 2023 | Highlights from WSC 2023

Aristeidis Katsanos, MD, PhD, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, shares his highlights from the World Stroke Congress (WSC) 2023 in Toronto, Canada. Dr Katsanos mentions the CHANCE-3 (NCT05439356) trial, investigating the efficacy of anti-inflammatory drug colchicine in reducing repeat stroke risk. The results from ESCAPE-NEXT (NCT04462536) and FRONTIER (NCT02315443) were also presented at WSC 2023, which assessed the efficacy of nerinetide in reducing global disability in patients with acute cerebral ischemia. The Phase IV trial ANNEXA-I (NCT03661528) was another highlight, showing overwhelming efficacy of andexanet alfa in reducing hematoma size during anticoagulation-associated intracranial hemorrhage. The presented findings sparked discussions amongst researchers on the most effective strategies to translate discoveries into clinical practice. This interview took place at the World Stroke Congress (WSC) 2023 in Toronto, Canada.
