Ended Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III) Prevention of stroke or systemic embolism in atrial fibrillation

A study to learn how well the study treatment asundexian works and how safe it is compared to apixaban to prevent stroke or systemic embolism in people with irregular and often rapid heartbeat (atrial fibrillation), and at risk for stroke

EU CTIS ID: 2023-503794-38-00

What this study is testing

To demonstrate that asundexian is superior (at least non-inferior) when compared with apixaban for prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in participants with atrial fibrillation at risk for stroke. To demonstrate that asundexian is superior to apixaban as assessed by International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) major bleeding in participants with atrial fibrillation at risk for stroke.
