Trial summary

Rivaroxaban is a medicine which reduces the formation of blood clots. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) comprises a range of disorders, including heart attack and unstable angina, caused by a sudden reduction in blood flow to part of the heart muscle. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Observational Post-authorization Safety Specialist Cohort Event Monitoring Study (SCEM) to Monitor the Safety and Utilization of Rivaroxaban (XARELTO®) Initiated in Secondary Care for the Prevention of Atherothrombotic Events in Patients Who Have Had Acute Coronary Syndrome in England and Wales

Rivaroxaban is a medicine which reduces the formation of blood clots. Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) comprises a range of disorders, including heart attack and unstable angina, caused by a sudden reduction in blood flow to part of the heart muscle. This study aims to collect information on the use of rivaroxaban and its safety when used by patients for the prevention of atherothrombotic (plaque rupture leading to a blood clot) events following ACS, during the first three months after starting. This study was requested by the European regulatory body (EMA) which is responsible for the use and safety of medicines. It will last for approximately 3 years and is a national study covering the whole of England and Wales. The study aims to recruit 1193 patients who have been prescribed rivaroxaban and antiplatelet therapy and 1193 patients who have been prescribed alternative dual antiplatelet therapy for the secondary prevention of atherothrombotic events following ACS. Each patient will only be monitored for the first 13 weeks after hospital admission for ACS. Patients who choose to take part will complete a consent form. The patient's care team will be asked to complete a baseline questionnaire about the patient at the time the medicine is given and a further questionnaire up to 16 weeks later, specifically asking about the patient's experiences whilst on the medication. If anything unusual is reported during the observation period, the care team may be asked to fill out a followup questionnaire. With the patient's consent, the study team will also inform the patient's General Practitioner (GP) of their participation in the study and will ask the GP to complete an abridged questionnaire from the patient's medical records. The study team will analyse and aggregate the data, carefully protecting patient confidentiality, to classify adverse events of interest, in particular bleeding events.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cumulative incident risk of major bleeding, overall and stratified by the following bleeding sites: intracranial, gastrointestinal, urogenital.

    Cumulative incident risk of major bleeding according to the Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) classification of non-coronary artery bypass grafting (non-CABG) Related Bleeding, occurring in the 12 week observation period, overall and stratified by the following bleeding sites: intracranial, gastrointestinal, urogenital.The cumulative incidence will be calculated according to the formula:

    Total number of new cases during 12 week observation period x 100 / Population initially at risk If the observed cumulative incidence from this study falls within the range expected as set by the precision limits of cumulative incidence from clinical trial data, then the null hypothesis (of no difference) will not be rejected.

    Measured: During 12 weeks after initiation of treatment with rivaroxaban or alternative anticoagulant therapy

  2. Rate of major bleeding, overall and stratified by the following bleeding sites: intracranial, gastrointestinal, urogenital.

    Measured: During 12 weeks after initiation of treatment with rivaroxaban or alternative anticoagulant therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Drug Safety Research Unit, Southampton, UK at 2 sites in United Kingdom.

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 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

Cumulative incident risk of major bleeding, overall and stratified by the following bleeding sites: intracranial, gastrointestinal, urogenital. (time frame: During 12 weeks after initiation of treatment with rivaroxaban or alternative anticoagulant therapy). 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?
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 24 Apr 2019.
