NCT ID NCT07213778

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests an experimental drug called REGN7508 (cenvacibart) against aspirin to prevent blood clots in 2000 adults having knee replacement surgery. The drug targets a clotting factor to reduce clot risk. Researchers will compare how many people develop clots or die from clot-related causes in each group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

REGN7508 (cenvacibart), a factor XI monoclonal antibody

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new way to prevent dangerous blood clots after knee replacement surgery with potentially fewer bleeding risks than current options.

What could go wrong

This is a large phase 3 trial, but the drug is still experimental. It may not prove safer or more effective than aspirin, and unexpected side effects or bleeding risks remain possible.
