Eliquis approved in EU for Prevention of Stroke and Systemic Embolism in Patients with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation

Bristol-Myers Squibb  and Pfizer announced today that the European Commission has approved ELIQUIS® (apixaban) for prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in adult patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) with one or more risk factors. ELIQUIS is the only oral anticoagulant that has demonstrated superior risk reduction versus warfarin in the three important outcomes of stroke and systemic embolism, major bleeding, and all-cause mortality.

The marketing authorization for ELIQUIS is supported by the pivotal Phase 3 trials ARISTOTLE and AVERROES, which evaluated approximately 24,000 patients with NVAF in the largest completed clinical trial program conducted to date in this patient population.
