Trial summary

The main purpose of the study is to compare the mean AERP between treatment groups based on the hypothesis that in subjects with paroxysmal AF, Irbesartan prevents electrophysiological remodeling resulting in a prolonged atrial effective refractory period relative (AERP) to placebo.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Irbesartan effect on duration of Atrial Effective Refractory Period (AERP) in paroxysmal AF (PAF) patients.

    Measured: The measures are taken after 31 days of irbesartan treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Irbesartan effect on A Function RP

    Measured: The measures are taken after 31 days of irbesartan treatment

  2. Irbesartan effect on atrial conduction intervals after basal & extra-stimuli, in PAF patients

    Measured: The measures are taken after 31 days of irbesartan treatment

  3. Refractoriness dispersion

    Measured: The measures are taken after 31 days of irbesartan treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Irbesartan in people with Atrial Fibrillation, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 3 sites in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Feb 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Irbesartan effect on duration of Atrial Effective Refractory Period (AERP) in paroxysmal AF (PAF) patients. (time frame: The measures are taken after 31 days of irbesartan treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Feb 2010.
