What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of correctly detected atrial fibrillation signals by CPDS in reference to ECG (sensitivity of CPDS).

    This will be calculated as proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation diagnosed by CPDS record out of the total number of patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation by ECG record (for patients with diagnosis for both recordings available).

    Measured: 120 seconds

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The rate of correctly detected sinus rhythm signals by CPDS in reference to ECG (sensitivity of CPDS).

    This will be calculated as proportion of patients with sinus rhythm diagnosed by CPDS record out of the total number of patients diagnosed with sinus rhythm by ECG record (for patients with diagnosis for both recordings available).

    Measured: 120 seconds

  2. The rate of correctly detected AF of the applied algorithm of the ECG-data in reference to the primary diagnosis of the investigator using the ECG-graph (sensitivity of algorithm).

    This will be calculated as proportion of AF patients detected by the applied algorithm compared with proportion of AF patients diagnosed by the investigator, both based on ECG records.

    Measured: 120 seconds

  3. The rate of correctly detected atrial fibrillation signals by CPDS in reference to ECG (sensitivity of CPDS).

    This will be a sensitivity analysis of derived sensitivities of CPDS in different time frames, calculated as proportion of patients with sinus rhythm diagnosed by CPDS record out of the total number of patients diagnosed with sinus rhythm by ECG record (for patients with diagnosis for both recordings available).

    Measured: 60 seconds, 180 seconds, 240 seconds, 300 seconds

Individual data sharing
Undecided: Availability of this study's data will be determined according to Bayer's commitment to the EFPIA/PhRMA "Principles for responsible clinical trial data sharing". This pertains to scope, timepoint and process of data access. As such, Bayer commits to sharing upon request from qualified researchers patient-level clinical trial data, study-level clinical trial data, and protocols from clinical trials in patients for medicines and indications approved in the US and EU as necessary for conducting legitimate research. This applies to data on new medicines and indications that have been approved by the EU and US regulatory agencies on or after January 01, 2014. Interested researchers can use www.clinicalstudydatarequest.com to request access to anonymized patient-level data and supporting documents from clinical studies to conduct research. Information on the Bayer criteria for listing studies and other relevant information is provided in the Study sponsors section of the portal.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation, run by Bayer 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 8 May 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?

The rate of correctly detected atrial fibrillation signals by CPDS in reference to ECG (sensitivity of CPDS). (time frame: 120 seconds). 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 NCT02875106, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 May 2020.
