Joanna Sadowska: Bayer’s Asundexian Reduces Ischemic Stroke Risk in Phase 3 Trial

Joanna Sadowska, Biopharma Account Specialist, shared on LinkedIn:

”Big News – Bayer’s asundexian reduces ischaemic stroke risk in Phase 3 clinical trial

Bayer has announced positive Phase 3 results from the OCEANIC-STROKE study evaluating asundexian, an investigational once-daily oral Factor XIa inhibitor, for secondary stroke prevention.

This is the first study that successfully completed Phase 3 for Factor XIa.

Approximately 12 million people worldwide experience a stroke each year, with 20-30% being recurrent strokes.

One in five stroke survivors will have another stroke within five years, and these recurrent strokes tend to be more disabling and carry a higher mortality risk than first strokes.

Asundexian is a direct Factor XIa inhibitor designed to reduce thrombus formation that can lead to vessel blockage.

It has a novel mechanism targeting the coagulation pathway differently from current antiplatelet therapies.

Asundexian has received FDA Fast Track Designation for stroke prevention in this patient population.”
