OCEANIC-AF Trial Summary

This trial is researching a new type of anticoagulant to improve the standard of care for people with atrial fibrillation, reducing the risk of stroke and embolism, and minimizing the risk of bleeding.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat that increases stroke risk. Participants need a certain score indicating high stroke risk (CHA2DS2-VASc score) and must require long-term oral anticoagulant treatment. People with mechanical heart valves, severe mitral valve narrowing, temporary atrial fibrillation, or needing blood thinners for other conditions cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness and safety of two oral anticoagulants: Asundexian and Apixaban. It aims to see which drug better prevents strokes or systemic embolism without causing major bleeding. Participants are randomly assigned to take either Asundexian once daily or Apixaban twice daily for about 9-33 months.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As both medications are blood thinners designed to prevent clotting, the main side effect being monitored is increased bleeding risk. This can range from minor bruising to serious or life-threatening bleeds.
