Dirk Sibbing on OCEANIC-STROKE Demonstrationg Superiority of Asundexian vs. Placebo
Dirk Sibbing, Professor, Cardiologist and Angiologist at Lauterbacher Mill Private Clinic and LMU Munich, shared on LinkedIn:
”Positive late-breaking news on a new pathway – Factor XIa inhibition – for antithrombotic treatment for stroke risk reduction
Secondary prevention trial in patients (>12,000 pts) after non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or high-risk TIA
OCEANIC-STROKE demonstrates superiority of asundexian vs. Placebo (in both study arms in combo with antiplatelet therapy), showing significant reduction in ischemic stroke risk, without increasing bleeding risk
OCEANIC-STROKE is the first successfully completed Phase III study of a Factor XIa inhibitor (50 mg p.o. once daily)
Adding an antithrombotic agent (here: asundexian) to best medical treatment (here: antiplatelet treatment) with significant reduction in ischemic risk and – at the same time – without (!) increasing overall bleeding risk is highly remarkable!
Uncoupling thrombosis- and haemostasis risk”
