Ashkan Shoamanesh: FDA Grants Asundexian A Priority Review for Secondary Stroke Prevention
Ashkan Shoamanesh, Associate Professor of Medicine (Neurology), Marta and Owen Boris Chair in Stroke Research and Care at McMaster University, shared on LinkedIn:
”Excellent news for patients with ischemic stroke and high-risk TIA: the U.S. FDA has granted Priority Review to asundexian for secondary stroke prevention based on the results of the OCEANIC-STROKE trial.
This marks an important step toward the potential rapid availability of a novel treatment strategy aimed at reducing recurrent ischemic events without increasing major bleeding risk – a long-standing unmet need in stroke prevention.
Very hopeful that other global regulatory agencies will follow suit so that patients worldwide may benefit from timely access to this therapy.”
