“OCEANIC-STROKE
- Patients with non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or TIA
- Concomitant dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT)

- 30% of patients had NIHSS >4
Efficacy
- Significant reduction in acute ischemic stroke (AIS)
- Significant reduction in cardiovascular mortality
- Significant reduction in all-cause mortality
Treatment effects were consistent across the overall population and all prespecified subgroups throughout the treatment period.
