“We were in the period of final approval for ACST-2, when a patient was considered. We presented the trial to him; he accepted, signed the patient consent and was randomised to CEA. We thought that the randomisation process was simple and we were pleased to hear that we were the fastest randomisers to date in the ACST-2 study.”
Dr Emiliano Chisci
Universitätsklinik Jena, Germany: 2 patients
University of Sao Paulo, Brazil: 4 patients

MoIs and Track Records
Data
New MoI and Patient Payments
Since 2012, ACST-2 pays £100 per patient to each centre when
consent, randomisation and 1 month follow up forms are correctly
completed and verified by ACST-2. To make sure your centre receives these
payments, please complete and sign the new MoI contract. There are 10
centres still need to do this—please contact us .
Track Records (CEA and CAS)
New members of your team or friends from another centre can be
collaborators! Ask them to complete a Track Record Approval form, counter-
signed by their centre’s Neurologist/Stroke Physician. After anonymisation,
we can submit these for approval by our Track Record Review Committee. We
are happy to provide training for randomisation and data completion.
Annual Follow Ups
Annual Follow Up Forms are sent out once a year (June); our Data Team will
start sending these to your patients this week. (Please look out for these if
your centre contacts their patients directly.)

Summer is coming…
but before then, don’t forget to
RECRUIT lots of patients!!
Dr Huibers is currently working on a paper about this topic and will
circulate this to all our centres soon!
Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) meeting 7th May 2015
The DMC saw no reason to modify the protocol or intake to the study. The
committee commends the investigators on progress to date, the increase in
recruitment and on the high compliance with allocated treatment. They urge
the ACST-2 group to increase the rate of patient enrolment while maintaining
close long-term follow-up of cases in this important trial.
