Atrial Fibrillation study: Abelacimab
Official title Study to evaLuate the effIcacy and Safety of abeLacimab in High-risk Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Who Have Been Deemed Unsuitable for Oral antiCoagulation (LILAC-TIMI 76)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05712200
What this study is testing
What is Abelacimab?
Abelacimab is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for atrial fibrillation (af).
Also referred to as MAA868.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study aims to find out whether abelacimab can reduce the number of ischemic strokes or systemic embolisms compared with a placebo.
- Who it's for
- Adults with atrial fibrillation who are considered unsuitable for oral anticoagulant therapy.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive either an injection of abelacimab or a placebo and will have regular check‑ups to monitor for strokes or other events.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
