A Phase 3, Randomized, Multicenter, Double-blind Study to Assess Stroke and Systemic Embolism Prevention With REGN7508, a Monoclonal Antibody Against Factor XI, Versus Apixaban in Participants With Atrial Fibrillation
About the Study
Currently Recruiting: Participants and Sites
Study Drug/Intervention: REGN7508/APIXABAN
Anticipated Sample Size: Approximately 15,364 Participants
Study Timeline: This study is expected to conclude in January 2030.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07626411
Study Objective
The ROXI-EVEREST study goal is to demonstrate that REGN7508 is non-inferior to apixaban with respect to the risk of stroke or systemic embolism and is superior to apixaban with respect to the risk of ISTH major bleeding or ISTH CRNM bleeding in participants with AF at risk for stroke and/or systemic embolism.
Unique Aspects
This project is one of three studies within the ROXI Program space. Participants will conduct at-home administration of study interventions after an initial in-clinic visit (V1) at which participants are provided training by the investigator.
Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria
- Has AF or flutter (paroxysmal or persistent), not considered to be secondary to a reversible cause, and an indication for indefinite anticoagulation treatment as described in the protocol
- Meets one of the following:
- CHA2DS2-VA [C: Congestive heart failure; H: Hypertension; A2: Age ≥75 years (double points); D: Diabetes mellitus; S2: Stroke or TIA or Systemic embolism (double points); V: Vascular disease; A: Age 65-74 years] score ≥2 and Oral Anticoagulant (OAC) naïve OR
- CHA2DS2-VA score ≥3 OR
- CHA2DS2-VA score of 2 AND at least 1 enrichment criteria as described in the protocol
- Must have an International Normalized Ratio (INR) <2.5 at the time of randomization if taking warfarin or another Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA)
Key Exclusion Criteria
- Has a mechanical heart valve prosthesis (Note: transcatheter aortic valve replacement is not an exclusion)
- Has known moderate-to-severe mitral stenosis
- Has had a successful ablation therapy without documented recurrent AF or a participant after Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) occlusion/exclusion or plan for ablation or LAA occlusion/exclusion within the next 6 months starting from randomization
- Had an ischemic stroke within 2 days prior to randomization
- Has persistent, uncontrolled hypertension (per investigator's discretion)
Has estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) <15 mL/min/1.73m2 within 30 days prior to randomization or is on dialysis or expected to be started on dialysis within the next 6 months starting from randomization
Note: Other protocol-defined Inclusion/ Exclusion criteria apply
Patient Population
Participants with AF at risk for stroke and/or systemic embolism.
Study Sites
Approximately 45 sites throughout the United States and Japan. Visit the ClinicalTrials.gov Study Details page to view all locations.
Study Duration
Individual participants could be in the study for approximately 14 to 39 months. The overall study duration is expected to be approximately 39 months.
Follow-Up
The 90-day follow-up period includes open-label apixaban administration from the end-of-treatment visit to the end-of-study visit.
