About this study

Official title: Prospective Multicenter Observational Non-interventional Local Study on Prescription Behavior of Anticoagulation Therapy in Secondary Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation Patients

This is local prospective multicenter observational non-interventional local study. Primary study objective is investigate and describe prescription pattern of neurologists in secondary stroke or non-CNS (non-Central Nervous System) systemic embolism prevention in patients with AF (Atrial fibrillation) and prior stroke or TIA (Transient Ischemic attack) who treat with rivaroxaban at an initial visit and three follow-up visits.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Rivaroxaban ( Xarelto, BAY59-7939)Other

    Patients with prior stroke or TIA history and who have never taken anticoagulation treatment regarding AF before. One film-coated tablet contains Rivaroxaban 15 mg or 20mg

What is being measured

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

  1. Prescription pattern of neurologists in secondary stroke or non-CNS systemic embolism prevention in patients with AF and prior stroke or TIA who treat with rivaroxaban

    • Time lag after prior stroke or TIA before Xarelto prescription;
    • Frequency of switching/discontinuation of Xarelto treatment;
    • Time to switching/discontinuation of Xarelto treatment;
    • Reasons of switching/discontinuation of Xarelto treatment (using formalized criteria list);
    • In case of change of treatment - drug, dose, duration of use

    Measured: up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Descriptive characteristics of patients after prior stroke/TIA in the need of secondary stroke prevention with Xarelto (gender, age, race, alcohol/smoking, BMI and BP abnormalities, CHA2DS2 VASC, HAS BLED, Rankin Score)

    CHA2DS2 VASC - Stroke risk assessment scale; HAS BLED - Score for Major Bleeding Risk (in anticoagulation therapy)

    Measured: up to 6 months

  2. Identify time of start of anticoagulation therapy immediately after event (stroke or TIA) for secondary prevention in real life practice

    Measured: up to 6 months

  3. Describe AE characteristics (frequency, severity, relation to treatment, AE treatment, AE outcome)

    Measured: up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke and Embolism, run by Bayer at 1 site in Russia.

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 6 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 23 Jan 2017. 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 Russia. 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?

Prescription pattern of neurologists in secondary stroke or non-CNS systemic embolism prevention in patients with AF and prior stroke or TIA who treat with rivaroxaban (time frame: up to 6 months). 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 23 Jan 2017.
