The ACTIVE W study compared efficacy and safety of oral anticoagulant therapy and a combination of aspirin and clopidogrel in patients with atrial fibrillation and increased vascular risk. The study was terminated prematurely, because it was shown that well managed oral anticoagulation is significantly more efficacious in prevention of strokes and other serious vascular complications than dual antiplatelet therapy.
