Apixaban for the Prevention of Stroke in Subjects With Atrial Fibrillation

Summary

The trial seeks to determine if apixaban, an investigational anticoagulant (blood-thinner) is as effective as standard therapy (warfarin) in preventing stroke and systemic embolism in subjects with atrial fibrillation and risk factors for stroke.
