Boehringer Ingelheim has announced plans to initiate two large, global clinical trials of Pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate) evaluating its efficacy and safety in stroke prevention therapy in two clinically highly relevant conditions. The RE-SPECT ESUS™ trial will investigate the efficacy and safety of Pradaxa® in patients whose first stroke was of embolic origin with unknown source (ESUS). Embolic strokes occur when a blood clot forms somewhere in the body and travels through the bloodstream to the brain.1 The RE-DUAL PCI™ trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Pradaxa® in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), also known as angioplasty, with stenting.
