Finally published: the COBRRA trial, the first randomized head-to-head comparison of major DOACs — something the companies would never have done themselves, as a direct confrontation goes beyond their commercial interests. This was driven by independent investigators. The results somewhat support the idea of apixaban being the “safer” DOAC.
