The LILAC-TIMI 76 study is looking at the effectiveness and safety of a medicine called abelacimab in people with Atrial Fibrillation (AF). AF is a condition where the heart beats irregularly. This study is for people who can't take regular blood-thinning pills, also known as oral anticoagulation. Abelacimab will be compared to a placebo, which is a harmless pill that looks like the real medicine but has no effect. The study wants to see if abelacimab helps prevent stroke or blood clots in these patients. To join, you must be 65 or older and have AF. You also need a record of being unsuitable for other blood-thinners due to risks like bleeding.
- Study involves multiple visits to the study center.
- Participants may receive compensation for their time and travel.
- Discuss potential risks and benefits with your doctor before joining.
This study is important for those who can't take normal blood thinners due to risks. If interested, talk to your doctor to see if you qualify and to understand more about the study process.
