  • Ages 50 to 84 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This is a pharmacoepidemiology study using data from The Health Improvement Network (THIN) primary care database in the UK. Patients aged 50-84 years with evidence of ischemic heart disease or cerebrovascular disease, who were new users of low-dose ASA (75-300 mg/day) and who had received at least two low-dose ASA prescriptions for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease or cerebrovascular disease between 2000 and 2007 were identified from THIN. .

Who may be able to join

  • Patients aged 50-84 years in 2000-2007.
  • Patients with first prescription of low dose ASA ( see study population description).
  • Patients were required to have been enrolled with their primary care practitioner (PCP) for at least 2 years and to have a computerized prescription history of at least 1 year before the start of the study.

Who cannot join

  • Patients aged below age 50 and 85 years and above ( see study population description).
  • Patients with a diagnosis of cancer, alcohol abuse or alcohol-related disease.
  • Incomplete data recording in THIN.

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Low-dose ASA Discontinuation Risk Associated With Concomitant PPI Use During the First Year of ASA Therapy for Secondary Prevention

This study is conducted in a cohort of low dose aspirin (ASA) users previously ascertained .The aims of the post hoc analyses are:

To estimate the one year risk of discontinuation of use of low-dose ASA associated to PPI concomitant use versus non-use, crude and adjusted by confounding.

To estimate the one year risk of discontinuation of use of low-dose ASA associated to PPI concomitant use stratified by age and sex.

To evaluate other predictors of discontinuation of low-dose ASA during the first year of ASA therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Risk of low dose ASA discontinuation associated with continuous PPI use vs.non-use

    Risk (hazard ratios) of low dose ASA discontinuation associated with continuous PPI use vs. non-use.

    Measured: Up to 1 year.

  2. Risk of low dose ASA discontinuation associated with baseline gastrointestinal risk category ( high risk versus low risk)

    Risk ( hazard ratios) of low dose ASA discontinuation associated with baseline gastrointestinal risk category( high risk versus low risk).

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Prevention, run by AstraZeneca at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 13 May 2014. 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 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

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?

Risk of low dose ASA discontinuation associated with continuous PPI use vs.non-use (time frame: Up to 1 year.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01888575, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 13 May 2014.
