New shot could replace aspirin to stop clots after knee surgery
NCT ID NCT07213778
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 9 times
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.
