Clinical trial(s)

edit

Asundexian efficacy and safety in patients have been evaluated in two clinical trial programs: phase IIb PACIFIC and phase III OCEANIC.[2] In the phase IIb PACIFIC clinical trial programs, asundexian consistently showed no difference in bleeding rate compared with placebo[3][4] and reduced the risk of bleeding compared with apixaban.[5] All three trials in the programs were not powered to show efficacy of asundexian.[2] However, a phase III trial, OCEANIC-AF, was stopped due to a "lack of efficacy." The remaining active study OCEANIC-STROKE was recommended to continue as planned. Bayer is reevaluating the design of the OCEANIC-AFINA based on the findings of the OCEANIC trial.[6]
