RE-LY Trial — Dabigatran vs Warfarin in Atrial Fibrillation

The RE-LY (Randomized Evaluation of Long-Term Anticoagulation Therapy) trial compared dabigatran — a direct thrombin inhibitor inspired by leech hirudin — against warfarin for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation. The trial (n=18,113) demonstrated non-inferiority and, at higher doses, superiority over warfarin with lower intracranial hemorrhage rates.
