”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.”
