How this study is set up

The points below are drawn from the public registry record for this study. Each one cites the field or sentence it came from. A dash (—) means the record does not state something — not that it is missing or wrong. Many well-run studies, especially small ones, leave some of these blank.

Trial stature

Three independent measures of this study, described from its registry record — not a recommendation about it. A rigorous study by investigators nobody has heard of is better evidence than a weak study led by a famous one. How these are scored.

Investigator standingUNKNOWN

We have no verifiable track record for the investigator named on this trial. That is common for early-career investigators and for records held outside ClinicalTrials.gov — it is not a negative signal.

How this score is built
  • Investigator standing0/100

    No investigator recorded in the registry for this trial

These describe the registry record only, and today we hold ClinicalTrials.gov data. Absent fields lower a score, and absence often reflects registration practice rather than study quality. A high-stature trial is not necessarily safer or a better choice for you — enrolling in a large definitive trial can mean a higher chance of receiving placebo, while a small early-phase study may be the only route to a new therapy.

Summary

A study to evaluate the effect of abelacimab relative to placebo on the rate of ischemic stroke or systemic embolism (SE) in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) who have been deemed by their responsible physicians or by their own decision to be unsuitable for oral anticoagulation therapy.

Patients enrolled in the study are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive abelacimab 150 mg SC or matching placebo once monthly. The study is comprised of 3 periods: 1) screening period of up to 60 days, 2) an event-driven, double-blind treatment period (abelacimab 150 mg SC or matching placebo) completed after at least 111 patients have experienced an adjudicated primary endpoint event, and 3) EoT visit in core part followed by either (i) a 30-day follow-up period (EoS for core part) OR (ii) an optional OLE beginning at the EoT visit for eligible patients to receive open-label abelacimab treatment. The optional extension will only be offered to patients following regulatory and ethics approval in participating countries.

Eligibility as written in the registry

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient is able to understand and has provided written informed consent to participate in the trial * Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (documented on an electrocardiogram (ECG) or monitor recording) * Age 65-74 and a CHA2DS2VASc ≥4 OR age ≥75 and a CHA2DS2VASc ≥3 * Patient is judged by the responsible physician to be unsuitable for oral anticoagulation because the risks outweigh the benefits or the patient is unwilling to take oral anticoagulation AND this determination was made prior to and independent of the study * At least 1 bleeding risk factor such as severe renal insufficiency, planned daily use of antiplatelet medication for the duration of the trial, history of bleeding from a critical area, or other conditions associated with increased risk of bleeding such as chronic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, frailty or multiple falls * Patient is judged by the responsible physician to be unsuitable for left atrial appendage (LAA) closure or occlusion device, an approved device is not available, or the patient is unwilling to undergo the procedure AND this determination was made prior to and independent of the study Exclusion Criteria: * AF due to an ongoing acute reversible cause (e.g., cardiac surgery, pulmonary embolism (PE), untreated hyperthyroidism, alcohol use) * Patients who within 60 days prior to randomization (1) received a vitamin K antagonists (VKA) (e.g., warfarin, phenprocoumon, acenocoumarol) or a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) such as, dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, or edoxaban or (2) were newly diagnosed with AF * Patients with an intracranial or intraocular bleed within the 3 months prior to screening or any history of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage at any time in the absence of antithrombotic treatment * Any stroke within 14 days before randomization or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 3 days before randomization * Mechanical heart valve or valve disease that is expected to require mechanical valve replacement intervention (surgical or invasive) during the course of the study * Patients on dialysis at screening or who are planned to start dialysis within 6 months Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply
