About this study

Official title: A Randomized Dose-ranging Controlled Trial of DU-176b Versus Warfarin Potassium in Patients With Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation

The primary objective of this study is to compare the incidence of hemorrhagic events in patients treated for non-valvular atrial fibrillation with DU-176b at each dose level versus warfarin potassium (warfarin). The secondary objective includes between-group comparisons with regard to incidence of thromboembolic events, pharmacodynamic parameters, and biomarkers for the efficacy evaluation, as well as incidence of adverse events and adverse reaction for the safety evaluation.

Being tested
DU-176b tablets, Warfarin potassium tablets
Keywords
Atrial fibrillation, Factor Xa inhibition
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Bleeding Events (Major Bleeding, Clinically Relevant Non-major Bleeding and Minor Bleeding ) Identified During the Period From the Entry Into the Treatment Period Until Completion or Termination of the Treatment.

    The primary endpoint was the incidence of bleeding events (major bleeding, clinically relevant non-major bleeding, or minor bleeding) that occurred during the treatment period.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Incidence of Thromboembolic Events (Cerebral Infarction and Systemic Embolism) Identified During the Period From the Entry to the Treatment Period Until Completion or Termination of the Treatment.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Incidence of Adverse Events and Adverse Reactions Identified During the Period From the Entry to the Treatment Period Until Completion or Termination of the Treatment

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Pharmacodynamic Parameters (PT, PT-INR, and APTT)

    PT - prothrombin time INR - International Normalized Ratio APTT - Activated Partial Thromboplastin time

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Plasma DU-176 Concentration

    Measured: 12 weeks

  5. Pharmacodynamic Biomarkers (F1+2, TAT, and D-dimer )

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing DU-176b tablets and Warfarin potassium tablets in people with Atrial Fibrillation, run by Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Japan.

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 11 inclusion and 32 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 25 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jan 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Incidence of Bleeding Events (Major Bleeding, Clinically Relevant Non-major Bleeding and Minor Bleeding ) Identified During the Period From the Entry Into the Treatment Period Until Completion or Termination of the Treatment. (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 25 Feb 2019.
