Abeer Alanazi: New Stroke Prevention Without Increased Bleeding Risk
Abeer Alanazi, Senior Clinical Pharmacist at King Fahad Specialist Hospital Dammam, Member of European Stroke Organisation (ESO), shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Mukul Sharma et al. published in NEJM, adding:
“Here’s the biggest thing to happen to secondary stroke prevention since the advent of clopidogrel!!
The phase 3 OCEANIC-STROKE trial
In patients with recent noncardioembolic ischemic stroke or high-risk TIA, asundexian 50 mg and antiplatelet therapy reduced the risk of ischemic stroke vs placebo (6.2% vs 8.4%; HR 0.74; P<0.001)
No increase in major bleeding.”
Title: Asundexian for Secondary Stroke Prevention
