Description of intervention(s) / exposure
TRIDENT:
Triple Pill (active treatment) - telmisartan 20mg, amlodipine 2.5mg and indapamide 1.25mg; taken orally, once daily for 36 months. Medication adherence and accountability is monitored through self-reports of doses missed and pill counts at every visit until end of treatment (Visits 3-9).

MRI Sub-study:
Participants at participating sites with MRI scanners capable of the tests required will be considered to be eligible for the study if they meet all inclusion criteria and do not meet any exclusion criteria. Those that are eligible for the sub-study will undergo MRI scans at baseline (6 weeks - 6 months post-randomisation into the main study) and at 36-month follow-up time points to analyse chronic markers of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) – white matter hyperintensities (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMB), lacunes, perivascular spaces, cerebral atrophy, and cortical superficial siderosis (CSS).

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Eligible for, randomised and continuing in TRIDENT Main Study
2. No contraindications to MRI scan of the brain
3. Provide informed consent for the MRI Sub-Study
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Any MRI contraindications (e.g. metallic implants, claustrophobia, etc.).
2. Less than 6 weeks or greater than 6 months post-randomisation (however, where possible the baseline MRI Sub-Study scan should be conducted as soon as possible after the qualifying ICH. e.g. if the qualifying ICH was 4 months prior to randomisation, the baseline scan should be done as close to 6 weeks post-randomisation as possible).

Statistical methods / analysis
A sample size of 750 patients will provide 90% power (alpha=0.05) to detect more than a 20% difference between the two randomised groups in the primary outcome measure, assuming equal participation between the two treatment groups. A 20% dropout per year was estimated for a 3-year follow-up.

The intention-to-treat principle will be applied in the analysis. The primary endpoint of proportion of white matter lesions (WML) will be analysed by logistic regression models.

Summary
Brief summary
The Triple therapy prevention of Recurrent Intracerebral Disease EveNts Trial or ‘TRIDENT’, is investigating the effectiveness of more intensive blood pressure (BP)-lowering treatment to prevent recurrent stroke. The intensive BP-lowering treatment in TRIDENT is a single capsule containing three low-dose BP-lowering medications or placebo. As part of the TRIDENT study, we are inviting participants to participate in the TRIDENT MRI Sub-study to assess the effectiveness of the TRIDENT study treatment on progression of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) as assessed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a disease process in the brain involving small blood vessels. CSVD is common in people who have had a stroke caused by intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) (large bleed in the brain). CSVD has been shown to be associated with dementia, cognitive decline, balance disturbances and other neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease.

CSVD is also known to be more common in people with high BP or hypertension. There is uncertainty however, if lowering BP slows the progression of CSVD. The purpose of this study is to measure markers of CSVD by MRI to investigate the effect of intensive BP-lowering treatment on the progression of CSVD.
