New asundexian Phase III study to include patients with atrial fibrillation ineligible for oral anticoagulant treatment
Bayer expands its Phase III OCEANIC clinical development program for the investigational drug asundexian by initiating a third clinical study, OCEANIC-AFINA. OCEANIC AFINA is a Phase III study investigating asundexian as a potential treatment in patients (≥65 years of age) with atrial fibrillation at high risk for stroke or systemic embolism who are deemed ineligible for oral anticoagulation treatment due to an increased risk of bleeding. OCEANIC-AFINA complements OCEANIC-AF, an ongoing Phase III study investigating the efficacy and safety of asundexian for the prevention of stroke or systemic embolism in people with AF at risk of stroke. Together, the results from OCEANIC-AFINA and OCEANIC-AF aim at providing robust evidence for the efficacy and safety of asundexian across a broad range of patients with AF, including those who are at high risk for both ischemic stroke or systemic embolism and major bleeding events.
