A Prospective, Randomized, Active (Warfarin) Controlled, Parallel-arm Clinical Trial to Determine if Participants With an On-X Aortic Valve Can be Maintained Safely and Effectively on Apixaban

ONX1801.000-C

Currently, warfarin is the only approved anticoagulation for patients with mechanical valves. The purpose of this study is to determine if participants with an On-X Prosthetic Heart Valve / On-X aortic valve can be maintained safely and effectively on apixaban. Both the On-X aortic valve and apixaban have been approved for use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but they have not been approved to be used together.
