What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence rate of first event of stroke and/or systemic embolism over the period of AC exposure

    Estimation by AC treatment and for both populations (AC-naive and AC-experienced patients) of Incidence rate (95%CI) of first event of stroke and/or systemic embolism (effectiveness) and of first event of major bleeding (safety) over the period of AC ex

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  2. Time-to-first occurrence of stroke or systemic embolism will be estimated and plotted using Kaplan-Meier product limit estimator

    Estimation by AC treatment and for both populations (AC-naive and AC-experienced patients) of Time-to-first occurrence of stroke and/or systemic embolism (effectiveness) and of major bleedings (safety) using Kaplan-Meier product limit estimator (95%CI)

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Incidence rates for composite morbidity criterion and all-cause death over the period of AC exposure will be estimated by AC treatment

    • Risk of occurrence of a composite morbidity criterion: number of patients presenting at least 1 event during the exposure period, incidence rate, median time to occurrence of event in each subcohort, composite morbidity criterion being defined by stroke, systemic embolism or major bleeding, whichever occurs first.
    • Risk of all-cause mortality: number of deaths during exposure period to studied AC treatment, incidence rate, median survival time

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  2. Time-to-event for composite morbidity criterion and all-cause death using Kaplan-Meier product limit estimator (95%CI)

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  3. Major characteristics of patients will be described by AC treatments

    Major characteristics of patients and comorbidities were:

    • proportion of AC-naive patients by AC treatment
    • In each subcohort:
    • Sociodemographic characteristics: median age, sex ratio, region of residence, CMU-C (Universal Health Coverage Complementary) beneficiary,
    • NVAF characteristics : time since NVAF diagnosis,
    • ALD status distribution (ALD Type, ICD-10 code for diagnosis),
    • Past hospital stay : number and total length of hospital stays
    • Previous exposure to AC treatment (class, molecule) over the 3 previous years, for AC-experienced patients.
    • Thromboembolism risk factors: CHADS2 mean score, CHA2DS2 VASc mean score, and distribution according to the scores.
    • Bleeding risk factors: modified HASBLED mean score and distribution according to the scores
    • Charlson mean score and distribution according to the scores

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  4. Treatment patterns at AC initiation, over time and concomitant treatment will be tabulated by AC treatment

    Treatment patterns at AC initiation: Type of the prescriber initiating the AC treatment (general practitioners, office-based cardiologists, hospital-based physicians and others), prescribed dosages, duration of initial prescription, co prescription (others AC, antiplatelet agents, NSAIDs, SRIs, strong inhibitors of both CYP3A4, anticonvulsivant strong inducer of hepatic enzymes, rifampicine, antiarrhythmic drugs)

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  5. Time-to-discontinuation will be estimated and plotted using Kaplan-Meier product limit estimator

    Time-to-discontinuation will be estimated and plotted using Kaplan-Meier product limit estimator based on Adherence to treatment: mean Medication Possession Ratio (MPR), Persistence: number for AC treatment discontinuation, median time to discontinuation

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  6. The healthcare resources utilization will be described by AC treatment

    The healthcare resources utilization will be described by AC treatment based on number of medical visits, number of nurse acts, per category of act, number of drugs packages per therapeutic classes, number of biology and tests, per type of act, number of other explorations, number of hospital stays, number of sick leaves

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  7. Comparisons of major characteristics of patients between apixaban and each of the other AC treatments

    Comparisons of major characteristics of patients between apixaban and each of the other AC treatments will be performed using:

    • An analysis adjusted for confounding factors in order to verify adjustment quality and using:
    • the Wald test from a logistic regression model for binary and other qualitative variables
    • the F- test from a covariance analysis for quantitative variables
    • An analysis after matching for confounding factors in order to verify matching quality and using:
    • the Cochran-Mantel-Haenzel test for qualitative variables
    • the F-test from a covariance analysis for quantitative variables

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  8. Comparison of incidence rates of each studied event (stroke or systemic thromboembolic event, major bleeding, all-cause death) between apixaban and each of the other usual AC treatments

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  9. Comparative time-to-event analyses for each studied event between apixaban and each of the other usual AC treatments

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anticoagulation, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 0 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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 rate of first event of stroke and/or systemic embolism over the period of AC exposure (time frame: Approximately 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?
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 18 May 2022.
