Ashkan Shoamanesh Shares OCEANIC-STROKE Trial’s Successful Endpoints
Ashkan Shoamanesh, Associate Professor of Medicine (Neurology), Marta and Owen Boris Chair in Stroke Research and Care at McMaster University, shared on LinkedIn:
”We are absolutely thrilled to share that the OCEANIC-STROKE trial has successfully met its primary efficacy and safety endpoints.
These landmark findings validate our ability to uncouple pathological thrombus formation from hemostasis—a breakthrough that has the potential to have far more reaching impact in the medical care of patients with cardiovascular disease.
Asundexian now emerges as an established treatment option addressing a major unmet need among the approximately 5 million people worldwide who experience a new non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke each year.
We are profoundly grateful for our partnership with Bayer and for the invaluable contributions of our global network of investigators and study teams whose dedication made OCEANIC-STROKE possible.”
