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 20 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population will consist of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and moderate-to-severe renal dysfunction (CrCl 15 to 50 mL/min) who received treatment of edoxaban or rivaroxaban as per labelled use from selected hospitals in Korea and Taiwan.

Patients will be entered into this study only if they meet all of the following criteria:

  1. Age ≥ 20 years at the index date. The index date is defined as the date of the first prescription of label-adherent edoxaban or rivaroxaban.
  2. Confirmed diagnosis of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) prior to or on the index date.
  3. Most recently measured CrCl rate of 15 to 50 mL/min within 12 months prior to or on the index date.
  4. Received a prescription for label-adherent dosing (as defined in the protocol) of either: edoxaban (30 mg or 15 mg once daily), or rivaroxaban (15 mg or 10 mg once daily) on the index date.
  5. Patients with no prescription of any oral anticoagulants (including dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, and warfarin) for at least 30 days prior to the index date.

Patients will be excluded from this study if they meet any of the following criteria:

  1. Patients who had at least one inpatient or two outpatient records of diagnosis code for any following conditions during the 12-month baseline assessment period prior to the prescription of edoxaban or rivaroxaban:
  2. End Stage Renal Disease (CrCl < 15 mL/min).
  3. Venous thromboembolism (pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis).
  4. Valvular heart disease.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Recommended Once-daily Dosing of Edoxaban and Rivaroxaban in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Renal Dysfunction, the ERENAL Study in South Korea and Taiwan

This study aims to evaluate the recommended once-daily dosing of edoxaban and rivaroxaban in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and renal dysfunction in South Korea and Taiwan. The findings will contribute to the growing body of evidence needed to guide clinical practice in managing AF patients with renal impairment in Asian populations.

Read the detailed description

While pivotal trials such as ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 and ROCKET AF have established the efficacy and safety of recommended doses of rivaroxaban and edoxaban, these studies have a limited inclusion of Asian patients with renal impairment. This reflects a need for further investigation in this specific population. Given the distinct clinical characteristics and prescribing practices in Asia, it is essential to evaluate the real-world clinical events of recommended dosing within this group.

The findings will contribute to a better understanding of optimal direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) use in Asian populations, thereby improving stroke prevention strategies and minimizing bleeding complications in patients with NVAF and compromised renal function.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Composite Events (Major bleeding, All-cause mortality, Ischemic stroke or Systemic Embolism, Whichever Occurs First) During the Course of Study

    Measured: Retrospectively assessed from the first label-adherent prescription of edoxaban or rivaroxaban (index date) until the earliest of death, the end of treatment, or the country-specific data cutoff date, for up to approximately 8 years and 9 months.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of Individual Clinical Events and Composite Events

    Individual clinical events (major bleeding, intracranial hemorrhage, major gastrointestinal bleeding, all-cause mortality, mortality due to cardiovascular events, ischemic stroke, and systemic embolism) and composite events (major bleeding, ischemic stroke or systemic embolism) will be assessed.

    Measured: Retrospectively assessed from the index date until the earliest of death, the end of treatment, or the country-specific data cutoff date, for up to approximately 8 years and 9 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation and Renal Dysfunction, run by Daiichi Sankyo at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 15 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in South Korea, Taiwan. 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?

Incidence of Composite Events (Major bleeding, All-cause mortality, Ischemic stroke or Systemic Embolism, Whichever Occurs First) During the Course of Study (time frame: Retrospectively assessed from the first label-adherent prescription of edoxaban or rivaroxaban (index date) until the earliest of death, the end of treatment, or the country-specific data cutoff date, for up to approximately 8 years and 9 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 15 Oct 2026.
