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

Who may be able to join

  • Men and women ≥18 years of age
  • Patients who underwent a clinically successful LAAC procedure (device implanted without procedural or bleeding complication). LAAC may have been indicated for patients contraindicated or unsuitable for long-term Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) anticoagulation.
  • AF (permanent or persistent or paroxysmal) patients irrespective of prior antithrombotic treatment are eligible for randomization.
  • Written informed consent by the patient or designee if the patient is unable to consent
  • Patients affiliated to the French social security system

Who cannot join

  • Creatinine clearance <30 mL / min (Cockcroft formula).
  • Dialysis.
  • Mechanical heart valves or valvular disease requiring surgery or interventional procedure
  • Planned Ablation of AF during follow up period
  • Mandatory indication for dual antiplatelet therapy (e.g. recent stent) or single anti-platelet treatment (SAPT) (e.g. high coronary risk).
  • Any contra-indication or known allergy to aspirin or clopidogrel or rivaroxaban.
Show all 20Show fewer
  • Any mandatory indication for anticoagulation for a reason other than AF (e.g. Pulmonary embolism)
  • Ongoing major bleeding or complicated or recent (<72hours) major surgery
  • Known large oesophageal varices or decompensated liver disease (unless a documented positive opinion of a gastro-enterologist)
  • Severe thrombocytopenia (<50,000/ml) after referral to haematologist to confirm or not contraindication
  • Recent myocardial infarction (<6 weeks).
  • Recent cerebro-vascular event (CVE) or transient ischemic attack (<6 weeks) after evaluation of stroke vs bleeding risk by the referring neurologist.
  • Recent Intracranial bleeding (< 6 months): these patients will be evaluated by a neurologist as these patients may be considered at higher stroke risk. Neurologist may consider that the LAAC procedure with a short (90 days) period of anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy as tested in the protocol is a preferable option (in that case intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) will not be considered as a contraindication).
  • Prasugrel or ticagrelor concomitant use
  • Participating in an investigational drug or another device trial within the previous 30 days.
  • High likelihood of being unavailable for follow-up or psycho-social condition making study participation impractical.
  • Woman with child bearing potential who do not use an efficient method of contraception.
  • positive serum or urine pregnancy test for woman with child bearing potential
  • Pregnancy or within 48 hours post-partum or breast feeding women
  • Patient under legal protection

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Versus Rivaroxaban In Atrial Fibrillation Patients Treated With Left Atrial Appendage Closure: The Randomized ADRIFT Study

Evaluation of 2 doses of rivaroxaban (10 and 15 mg) compared to dual anti platelet therapy (aspirin+clopidogrel) after left atrial appendage closure. The patients will be assessed at 10 and 90 days: central laboratory hemostasis analysis and clinical events assessment.

Read the detailed description

Data on antithrombotic therapy after Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) are scarce and no randomized evaluation has been performed to demonstrate what is the best antithrombotic strategy following LAAC. LAAC is classically associated with a 6-week period of anticoagulation with warfarin + aspirin followed by once daily clopidogrel (75 mg) + aspirin (81-325 mg) until the 6 months visit, then aspirin alone is continued indefinitely, as tested in patients without contraindication for anticoagulation in the pivotal Watchman trials. LAAC is mostly used in Europe as an alternative to warfarin anticoagulation when patients have a contraindication to or are unsuitable for warfarin anticoagulation. The classic regimen is not applicable and believed to be too risky in such frail patients. These patients usually receive a regimen of daily clopidogrel + aspirin followed by single antiplatelet therapy (most frequently used treatment). Some patients receive oral anticoagulation without aspirin, including NOAC anticoagulation. Rivaroxaban is a tempting strategy for anticoagulation following LAAC in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. The dose needs first to be carefully evaluated the trial propose a dose ranging study in patients who have undergone successful LAAC.

The study will evaluate two different Rivaroxaban regimen (10 or 15 mg a day) in comparison to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) (aspirin+clopidogrel : control arm representing standard of care) after successful LAAC. The aim is to investigate whether rivaroxaban could provide correct anticoagulation levels and adequately suppress coagulation activation after LAAC.

The patient will be enrolled after left atrial appendage closure before discharge. The randomization is 1/1/1 between the 3 groups : rivaroxaban 10mg a day, rivaroxaban 15 mg a day and aspirin 75mg + clopidogrel 75 mg a day. At 10 and 90 days, the patients will be sampled for biological assessment : Prothrombin fragments 1+2, Factor Xa inhibitory activity, Russel Viper venom enzyme assay, thrombin anti-thrombin (TAT) complex, D-Dimers, Prothrombin time (Neoplastin) and plasma von Willebrand factor (vWf) Ag level

After 90 days, the patient will end his/her participation in the trial. Clinical endpoints (death, MI, Stroke, TIA, systemic embolism, extracranial major bleeding or clinically relevant non major bleeding) at 90 days will be assessed by a clinical endpoint committee. Central echographic laboratory will review all 90 days transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to detect the presence of thrombus or peri-device leak.

The study is open-label. Central laboratory, clinical endpoint committee and echographic core laboratory is blinded to randomization arm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Rivaroxaban 10 mg qd, Rivaroxaban 15 mg qd and DAPT in people with Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Appendage, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 5 inclusion and 20 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 21 Dec 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Measure of prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (time frame: at Day 10). 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 NCT03273322, 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 21 Dec 2021.
