About this study

Official title: Berlin Cohort Study on Oral Anticoagulation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Acute Ischemic Stroke

Investigator-initiated prospective multicentre hospital-based registry to uncover the proportion of self-reported anticoagulation in stroke patients with atrial fibrillation and assessing the proportion of stroke, intracranial bleeding and all-cause death in the short (at 3 months), mid-term (at 12 months) as well as long term (at 24 months) after ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack in an unselected urban population in Germany. In addition, annual follow-up is planned yearly up to 5 years after enrollment.

  1. Patient self-reported persistence to oral anticoagulants (novel oral anticoagulants or vitamin K antagonists) in stroke patients with AF at 12 months after ischemic stroke or TIA

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Ischemic Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation, run by Charite University, Berlin, Germany at 1 site in Germany.

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 5 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 Nov 2020. 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 Germany. 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?

Patient self-reported persistence to oral anticoagulants (novel oral anticoagulants or vitamin K antagonists) in stroke patients with AF at 12 months after ischemic stroke or TIA (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT02306824, 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 Nov 2020.
