About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial of Reinforcement Learning for the Dosing of Warfarin

This is a clinical study designed to test the hypothesis that a computer model for dosing warfarin is superior to current clinical practice. Subjects will be randomized to two groups based on how warfarin dose is determined and followed for 6 months. The primary outcome is the percent of the time that the INR is maintained in the effective range.

Read the detailed description

This will be a single-center, open-label, randomized prospective study. Primary outcome will be percent of time within a specific INR range. Subjects will be randomized to to control and treatment groups and stratified 1:1 based on sex. The control group will have warfarin doses adjusted by experts in the treatment of patients with warfarin. The treatment group will have warfarin doses determined using a clinical support tool based on reinforcement learning. Based on simulations of the experimental design with an expectation that the percent of INR values within the target range increase by 20%, 70 subjects per group are required for statistical significance. Based on an attrition rate of 15%, the investigators will enroll 80 subjects per group. Statistical analysis will compare the percent of patients within the target INR range between groups as the primary outcome with number of adverse events between groups as the safetly outcome.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent in Range

    Percent of INR measurements within the Target Range

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse Events

    Composite of all adverse events attributed to warfarin

    Measured: 6 Months

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  2. Study start1 Jan 2022 (estimated)
  3. Primary completion31 Dec 2024 (estimated)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Reinforcement Learning and Heath Care Provider in people with Clotting Disorder, run by University of Louisville.

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 10 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2022. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Percent in Range (time frame: 6 months). 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 4 Mar 2022.
