New hope for stroke prevention in heart patients who Can't use standard meds
NCT ID NCT07430956
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two experimental drugs, REGN7508 and REGN9933, to prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) who cannot or choose not to take standard blood thinners. About 2,628 participants will receive one of the drugs or a placebo to see if they reduce the risk of stroke or blood clots. The goal is to find a safer option for those at high risk of bleeding.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Has AF or flutter (paroxysmal or persistent), not considered to be secondary to a reversible cause 2. At moderate to high risk for stroke defined as: 1. CHA2DS2-VA \[C: Congestive heart failure; H: Hypertension; A2: Age ≥75 years (double points); D: Diabetes mellitus; S2: Stroke or TIA or Systemic embolism (double points); V: Vascular disease; A: Age 65-74 years\] score ≥4 OR 2. CHA2DS2-VA score of 3 AND at least 1 enrichment criteria as described in the protocol 3. Shared decision making between the participant and provider determining that the bleeding risk of Oral Anticoagulant (OAC) therapy outweighs the benefits, making the participant unsuitable for OAC therapy as described in the protocol Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Has a mechanical heart valve prosthesis (Note: transcatheter aortic valve replacement is not an exclusion) 2. Had an ischemic stroke within 2 days prior to randomization 3. Has persistent, uncontrolled hypertension (per investigator's discretion) 4. Has a history of Central Nervous System (CNS) bleeding within 30 days prior to randomization 5.
