NCT ID NCT04755283

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 2 study compares abelacimab, a new biologic blood thinner, to the standard drug rivaroxaban in 1,287 people with atrial fibrillation who are at moderate-to-high risk of stroke. The goal is to see if abelacimab causes fewer major or clinically relevant bleeding events while still preventing strokes. Participants receive either abelacimab or rivaroxaban, and researchers track bleeding rates over time.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
abelacimab (a biologic blood thinner)
What this could lead to
If successful, abelacimab could offer a safer blood-thinning option for people with atrial fibrillation, reducing bleeding risks while still preventing strokes.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with 1,287 participants, so results are not final. The drug may still cause bleeding or fail to prevent strokes as well as rivaroxaban.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male and female patients ≥ 55 years old * Patients with a history of atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter with planned indefinite anticoagulation * Patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc of ≥4 OR a CHA2DS2-VASc of ≥3 with at least 1 of the following: 1. Planned concomitant use of antiplatelet medication use (i.e., aspirin and/or P2Y12 inhibitor) for the duration of the trial 2. Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) ≤50 ml/min by the Cockcroft-Gault equation Exclusion Criteria: * History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs (including rivaroxaban) or its excipients, to drugs of similar chemical classes, or any contraindication listed in the label for rivaroxaban * Patients with an intracranial or intraocular bleed within the 3 months prior to screening * Clinically significant mitral stenosis (valve area \<1.5 cm2) * Mechanical heart valve or other indication for anticoagulation therapy other than atrial fibrillation (e.g., venous thromboembolism) * Known presence of an atrial myxoma or left ventricular thrombus * History of left atrial appendage closure or removal * Active endocarditis Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply
