About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the management of chronic heart failure patients with atrial fibrillation, to collect data on compliance with clinical guidelines and the prevalence of long-term anticoagulant therapy,complications. The results will be used to develop most rational therapeutic and diagnostic strategies to improve clinical outcomes of such patients.

Read the detailed description

Quality assurance plan: investigators are going to plan site monitoring every three months. Any audits are not planned Investigatirs will check all entered data into the registry with the predefined ranges. The database is protected against any inconsistency and incorrect entering by the strictly predefined range in all fields. Instead of that, data checks will be performed yearly.

During the site monitoring data verification of the transfer from source documents to the database will be performed.

Iiverstigators have data dictionary, which includes descriptions of each variable and, if relevant, normal ranges.

Investigators use standard local operation procedures for any activities during the registry (as patient recruitment, data collection and management, data analysis) and local authorities approve all of those procedures.

Investigators calculated the sample size for demonstration of hypothesis of the registry.

Descriptive analysis of the data will be reported using basic summary statistics. Results will be summarized for the whole group and for the diagnostic subgroups. P-values and confidence intervals will be 2-sided, and statistical significance will be declared at the 2-sided 0,05-level. For continuous variables mean values, standard deviations, 95% confidence intervals, median and lower and upper percentiles, as well as minimum and maximum values will be calculated.

Safety is assessed by reports of AEs with relation, seriousness, action taken, and outcome. AEs are summarized using the MedDRA coding system. Event rates for single AEs are calculated based on the total number of documented patients. AEs are categorized according to relation, seriousness and outcome.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with hospitalization for worsening of heart failure. HF hospitalization is defined as an overnight stay, or longer, in a hospital environment due to HF as the primary reason

    Measured: Day 1 up to approximately 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Death due to a cardiovascular cause. CV mortality is defined as death due to heart failure, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmia, stroke or cerebral vascular accident (CVA), other CV.

    Measured: Day 1 up to approximately 12 months

  2. All-cause mortality. Death due to any cause.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Rate of thromboembolic events defined as ischemic stroke, system embolism, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism.

    Measured: Day 1 up to approximately 12 months

  4. Bleeding rate. ISTH major or CRNM bleeding during the time the patient is taking the medicine which is 6 months

    Day 1 up to approximately 12 months

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Heart Failure and Atrial Fibrillation, run by Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution, Research Institute of Cardiology at 1 site in Russia.

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 2 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 2017. 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 Russia. 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?

Number of patients with hospitalization for worsening of heart failure. HF hospitalization is defined as an overnight stay, or longer, in a hospital environment due to HF as the primary reason (time frame: Day 1 up to approximately 12 months). 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 NCT02790801, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Aug 2017.
