Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

When the upper chambers of a person's heart receive or generate irregular electrical signals, it causes abnormal rhythm in the heartbeat. This is called atrial fibrillation.

Atrial fibrillation goes along with blood clots that may cause mainly strokes and less often other diseases, such as a heart attack. Some patients with atrial fibrillation have other heart disease, such as heart valves that may need to be replaced using catheters.

Often doctors give patients drugs that reduce those blood clots. These are either vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or direct anticoagulants, such as edoxaban. In these patients, it is unclear which of the drugs is better for reducing stroke without increasing severe bleedings.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Edoxaban-based Regimen
  • Drug: VKA-based Regimen
Phase 3

Detailed Description

Use of Edoxaban in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and indication to chronic oral anticoagulation (OAC) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI)

Objective:
  • To assess the effect of Edoxaban versus vitamin K antagonist (VKA) on net adverse clinical events (NACE), i.e., the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, systemic thromboembolism (SEE), valve thrombosis, and major bleeding (International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis [ISTH] definition).

  • To assess the effect of Edoxaban versus VKA on major bleeding (ISTH definition).

    2. Number of Participants Who Experienced Major Bleeding (Adjudicated Data) Based on ISTH Criteria in Participants Taking Edoxaban vs VKA [Baseline through study completion, up to 36 months post-dose]

      ISTH Bleeding Criteria for Major Bleeding are defined as clinically overt bleeding that is associated with: a fall in hemoglobin of 2 g/dL (1.24 mmol/L) or more, or a transfusion of 2 or more units of whole blood or packed red blood cells, or symptomatic bleeding into a critical site or organ such as intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, pericardial, intra-articular, or intramuscular with compartment syndrome, or a fatal outcome.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants Who Experienced Net Adverse Clinical Events (Adjudicated Data) Based on TIMI Criteria in Participants Taking Edoxaban vs VKA [Baseline through study completion, up to 36 months post-dose]

      The composite endpoint of net adverse event clinical events (NACE) included all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke, systemic embolic events (SEE), valve thrombosis, and major bleeding based on Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) criteria. Bleeding by TIMI criteria was defined as the following: (1) Major, any intracranial hemorrhage or any clinically overt bleeding, (including bleeding evident in imaging studies) associated with a fall of hemoglobin (Hb) of ≥ 5g/dL or fatal bleeding and (2) Minor, any clinically overt bleeding associated with a fall in Hb ≥ 3g/dL but < 5 g/dL.

    2. Number of Participants Who Experienced Net Adverse Clinical Events (Adjudicated Data) Based on BARC Type 3 or 5 Criteria in Participants Taking Edoxaban vs VKA [Baseline through study completion, up to 36 months post-dose]

      The composite endpoint of net adverse event clinical events (NACE) included all-cause death, MI, ischemic stroke, SEE, valve thrombosis, and major bleeding based on Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) Type 3 or 5 criteria. Major bleeding by BARC criteria was defined as Type 3: clinical, laboratory, and/or imaging evidence of bleeding with provider responses; Type 3a: any transfusion with overt bleeding; overt bleeding plus Hb drop of 3 to < 5 g/dL; Type 3b: overt bleeding plus Hb drop ≥ 5 g/dL; cardiac tamponade; bleeding requiring surgical intervention; bleeding requiring intravenous vasoactive drugs; Type 3c: intracranial hemorrhage; subcategories confirmed by autopsy, imaging, or lumbar puncture; intraocular bleed compromising vision; Type 5: fatal bleeding; Type 5a: probable fatal bleeding; no autopsy or imaging confirmation but clinically suspicious; Type 5b: definite fatal bleeding; overt bleeding or autopsy or imaging confirmation

    3. Number of Participants Who Experienced Net Adverse Clinical Events (Adjudicated Data) Based on GUSTO Criteria in Participants Taking Edoxaban vs VKA [Baseline through study completion, up to 36 months post-dose]

      The composite endpoint of net adverse event clinical events (NACE) included all-cause death, MI, ischemic stroke, SEE, valve thrombosis, and major bleeding based on Global Utilization of Streptokinase and Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Occluded Coronary Arteries (GUSTO).
