About this study

Official title: Effectiveness and Safety of Rivaroxaban Used in Clinical Practice of Extended Anticoagulation for Pulmonary Embolism Patients in China, XAPEC-EXT

Domestic and international guidelines for the management of pulmonary embolism have suggested that the standard duration of anticoagulation should cover at least 3 months.Whether extended anticogulation therapy shoud balance the efficacy and safety of the therapy.Nevertheless, the concerning about bleeding may affect the decision on the extended anticoagulation for pulmonary embolism patients who may benefit from continuing anticoagulation. Rivaroxaban is an oral direct factor Xa inhibitor, it does not require routine laboratory monitoring and has no food interactions and only a few drug interactions compared to standard of care with the recommendation for the treatment of pulmonary embolism by several guidelines.Our study aims to acquire the data of effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban used in clinical practice of extended anticoagulation for pulmonary embolism patients in China through this perspective observational study.

Read the detailed description

This is a perspective, multicenter, single-arm, non-interventional, and observational study. The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban used in extended treatment of pulmonary embolism in a real-world.The secondary objective aims to analyze the drug usage pattern of rivaroxaban, patient satisfaction and medical resource utilization used in extended treatment of pulmonary embolism in a real-world.496 subjects will be enrolled in this study. The primary outcome of this study is net clinical benefit.

All patients with rivaroxaban should be followed up to 12 months, or about 30 days after the end of rivaroxaban treatment if discontinued before the completion of 12 months. Follow up visits occur at initial visit, 3, 6, 9, 12 months after the initial visit, where such data have been collected as part of routine clinical practice, by phone and or face to face interview.

During each follow up visit, the date of visit, physical examination, ACTS and, as applicable, changes in the concomitant medication, changes in concomitant disease,changes in pulmonary embolism and/or treatment regimen, new diagnosis of venous thromboembolism, medical resources utilization, and adverse events will be obtained and recorded.

Starting with the first application of rivaroxaban after enrollment into the study or follow-up period, all AEs would be documented. For each AE, the investigator must assess and document the seriousness, duration, relationship to product, action taken and outcome of the event.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RivaroxabanDrug

    Also called XARELTO

    It is determined by the clinician's routine clinical prescription.

What is being measured

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

  1. Net clinical benefit

    Net clinical benefit(the composite of major bleeding and symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism)

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. The symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism

    The symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism, is the composite of recurrent deep vein thrombosis or fatal or non-fatal pulmonary embolism.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Major bleeding

    Major bleeding was defined as overt bleeding and: associated with a fall in hemoglobin of 2 g/dL or more, or leading to a transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells or whole blood, or occurring in a critical site: intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, pericardial, intra-articular, intramuscular with compartment syndrome, retroperitoneal, or contributing to death.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Clinical related non-major bleeding events

    Clinical related non-major bleeding events: other dominant bleeding, which does not conform to the criteria for major bleeding, but requires medical intervention; an unscheduled contact with a doctor either through telephone or through face-to-face interview, temporary stop of the treatment, or other discomforts, such as pain.

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Mortality

    All-cause mortality

    Measured: 12 months

  5. The satisfaction with anticoagulant treatment

    The Anti-Clot Treatment Scale (ACTS) is a 17-item patient-reported instrument of satisfaction with anticoagulant treatment.

    Measured: 12 months

  6. Length of stay in hospital

    Medical resources utilization

    Measured: 12 months

  7. The number of outpatient visits

    Medical resources utilization

    Measured: 12 months

  8. Medical costs due to bleeding or embolism

    Medical resources utilization

    Measured: 12 months

  9. Drug use patterns

    Drug use patterns (including dosage of rivaroxaban, course of treatment, reasons for withdrawal/interruption/dressing change, combined medication)

    Measured: 12 months

  10. Adverse events

    Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse drug reactions

    Measured: 12 months
