About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Open-Label Blinded Endpoint Evaluation (PROBE) Parallel Group Study Comparing Edoxaban (DU-176b) With Enoxaparin/Warfarin Followed by Warfarin Alone in Subjects Undergoing Planned Electrical Cardioversion of Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation
The purpose of this study is to compare edoxaban to warfarin (with enoxaparin, if needed). It will see if edoxaban prevents stroke and other blood clotting problems as well and as safely as warfarin. People with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) might be able to join. Their doctors must plan to use shock to make their hearts beat normally. About 2200 people from different countries will join. They will have an equal chance of receiving either treatment. They are anticipated to be in the study for around 82 days. Tests will include physicals and finger-pricks. Participants will provide blood and urine samples.
Read the detailed description
The purpose of this study is to compare edoxaban (investigational drug) with warfarin and enoxaparin, to see if it is safe and effective in preventing stroke and other blood clot complications in subjects with atrial fibrillation whose doctors plan to treat them with an electrical cardioversion. It is expected that 284 sites will recruit 2200 subjects from North America, EU, Russia, Ukraine and Israel. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either treatment with edoxaban, or treatment with warfarin, plus enoxaparin if required. Participants will have an equal chance of receiving either treatment. Participants will be in the study for a maximum of 82 days. Study procedures will include physical examinations, vital signs (pulse and sitting blood pressure), ECG (electrocardiogram), finger prick blood clotting tests, blood samples and urine samples.
The study is expected to show that edoxaban will provide comparable incidence rates to warfarin plus enoxaparin, the current standard treatment for both efficacy and bleeding.

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
EdoxabanDrug
Edoxaban 30 mg tablets for oral administration
WarfarinDrug
Warfarin tablet, 1.0 or 2.5 mg, for oral administration
EnoxaparinDrug
Enoxaparin per label, at prescribed dose until PT INR at least 2.0
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Edoxaban | Experimental | Edoxaban oral tablet, 60 mg-once daily (QD), reduced to 30 mg based on protocol-defined parameters, for up to 49 days Receives: Drug: Edoxaban |
| Warfarin | Active comparator | Participants naïve to anticoagulation, taking anticoagulants other than a Vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or taking a VKA but with a prothrombin time (PT) international normalized ratio (INR) of less than 2.0 receive enoxaparin until they reach a PT INR of at least 2.0, before taking warfarin.
All participants in this arm receive warfarin oral tablet QD at their doctor's prescribed dose, for up to 49 days. Receives: Drug: Warfarin; Drug: Enoxaparin |

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 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Mar 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Percentage of Participants With Composite Endpoint of Stroke, Systemic Embolic Stroke (SEE), Myocardial Infarction (MI) and Cardiovascular (CV) Mortality From Randomization to End of Follow up (time frame: Randomization to end of follow-up (within 2 years)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02072434, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

How often is this information updated?
