About this study

Official title: Impact of the Choice of Glomerular Filtration Rate-Estimating Equations on Plasmatic Concentrations of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation in the elderly is a complex condition due to the high number of frequently associated comorbidities such kidney disease. Direct oral anticoagulants (dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban) are indicated for preventing thromboembolic events but renal function should be closely monitored for this age group when these drugs are used. Dosing recommendations for prevention of stroke are based on renal clearance of creatinine (ClCr) estimated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula. It is well known that ClCr estimates predict a steeper decline with advancing age than Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) estimates. This raises the possibility that substitution of commonly reported GFR for estimated CrCl could result in different plasmatic concentrations of oral direct anticoagulants. The aim of this study was to compare estimates of ClCr and GFR and determine the impact on the plasmatic concentration of these drugs in elderly patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

What is being measured

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

  1. renal function estimated by different glomerular filtration rate equations and by clearance of creatinine formula

    Measured: At the inclusion

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. plasmatic activity of direct oral anticoagulant at steady state residual time (anti-Xa or anti-IIa)

    Measured: At the inclusion

  2. plasmatic concentration of direct oral anticoagulant at steady state residual time

    Measured: At the inclusion

  3. Number of haemorrhagic or thrombotic adverse events (serious or not) affecting patients

    Reported by a trained physician after a phone interview with the patient coupled with medication adherence assessment using 6-item Moriksy scale. An internal questionnaire will be used to collect data.

    Measured: At 1 month

  4. Number of haemorrhagic or thrombotic adverse events (serious or not) and unexpected events affecting patients

    Reported by a trained physician after a phone interview with the general practitioner and the patient coupled with medication adherence assessment using 6-item Moriksy scale. An internal questionnaire will be used to collect data.

    Measured: At 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation and Elderly Patients, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2021. 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 France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: recruitment difficulties). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

renal function estimated by different glomerular filtration rate equations and by clearance of creatinine formula (time frame: At the inclusion). 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 20 Oct 2021.
