Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The initial study population will include Non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients who initiated warfarin or Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) between January 01, 2012 and August 31, 2014. The date of the first NOAC prescription claim during the enrollment period will serve as the index date. The patients who have at least 1 year of baseline data available will be included in the study.

Who may be able to join

  • Individuals with NVAF who were on warfarin and have switched to the NOACs (dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban) within the study period January 01, 2013 through March 31, 2014
  • Individuals ≥18 years old on the index date
  • At least 1 year of baseline period with history of continuous warfarin use in the baseline period for at least 3 months immediately before the index date
  • At least 1 diagnosis of AF in the 12 months prior to index date
  • Continuous eligibility with medical and pharmacy benefits for at least 12 months before the index date through 1 month after the index date

Who cannot join

  • Individuals with a diagnosis of valvular heart disease or cardiac surgery during the 12 months prior to index date

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

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 1 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 7 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Discontinuation rate of patients with prior warfarin use (time frame: up to 31 months). The study lists 6 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 7 Jun 2016.
