RARITAN, N.J., May 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson today presented new data from the Phase 3 VOYAGER PAD study which showed XARELTO
® (rivaroxaban) (2.5 mg twice daily) in combination with aspirin (100 mg once daily) consistently reduced severe vascular events in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) after lower-extremity revascularization (LER) compared to aspirin alone regardless of whether it was the first, second, third, or subsequent event. The primary results of VOYAGER PAD showed that XARELTO
® plus aspirin reduced first events by 15 percent among patients with PAD after LER. This analysis showed a very high burden of subsequent events and a consistent 14 percent reduction in both primary endpoint events and total vascular events over a median of 2.5 years. These data were presented as a late-breaking presentation during the virtual American College of Cardiology s 70
