First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study looks at whether switching from aspirin to clopidogrel (another blood thinner) can reduce heart complications in people with a serious staph bloodstream infection. About 300 adults who already take aspirin for heart disease prevention will be randomly assigned to stay on aspirin or switch to clopidogrel. The goal is to see if clopidogrel, which may also fight staph bacteria, leads to better outcomes.
