Boehringer Ingelheim has
announced plans for two new
global clinical trials of its novel
anticoagulant Pradaxa (dabigatran
etexilate mesylate).
One of the trials, RE-DUAL PCI is
designed to evaluate the efficacy
and safety of Pradaxa in patients
with non-valvular atrial fibrillation
who have undergone angioplasty
with stent placement.
And the other trial, RE-SPECT
ESUS will look at Pradaxa’s efficacy
and safety as a secondary stroke
prevention therapy in patients who
have suffered an embolic stroke of
undetermined source.
Both trials, which are planning
to begin enrolment in 2014 and
2015 respectively, would add to
the existing clinical trial program
for Pradaxa which includes ten
completed phase III trials involving
about 40,000 patients.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 26 Nov 13 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 26 Nov 13
