About this study
Official title: Apixaban Versus Warfarin for the Management of Post-operative Atrial Fibrillation: a Prospective, Controlled, Randomized Pilot Study
In this open-label, prospective, randomized pilot study, patients who develop atrial fibrillation after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting surgery will be identified. Patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (>12 hours) or recurrent sustained atrial fibrillation (>2 episodes of atrial fibrillation lasting longer than 30 minutes) will be candidates for inclusion. Upon meeting study inclusion and exclusion criteria, and after informed consent, patients will be randomized to either the standard of care (warfarin per protocol) or apixaban arms of the trial. Routine postoperative care after CABG will occur in both groups. Upon discharge, anticoagulation in both groups will be managed by the anticoagulation clinic. Patients will be followed for 30 days after surgery.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ApixabanDrug
Also called Eliquis
Study arm that patient can be randomized to. Apixaban is a novel, orally active, potent, direct selective inhibitor of coagulation FXa that directly and reversibly binds to the active site of FXa and exerts anticoagulant and antithrombotic effects by diminishing the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin.
WarfarinDrug
Also called Coumadin
Study arm that patient can be randomized to. Warfarin therapy has been the mainstay of therapy for patients with POAF. While the duration of therapy is usually short (3-4 weeks), complications of anticoagulation do occur. Additionally, warfarin therapy for POAF is associated with increased length of stay, need for monitoring, and bleeding complications.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Apixaban | Active comparator | Apixaban is to be dosed at 5 mg by mouth twice daily, except in the case of the criteria listed below in "dose modifications". The duration of therapy will be at least 30 days. The patient's physician may determine that anticoagulation therapy should be continued after the study period, based on their examination of the patient at the 30-day post-operative examination. Receives: Drug: Apixaban |
| Warfarin | Active comparator | While patients are hospitalized, warfarin will be dosed daily, with daily INR monitoring per hospital protocol. Daily doses may vary from 0.5mg to 15mg by mouth, as determined by patient specific factors such as patient size, hepatic function, INR, concomitant medications, diet, or other factors. Based on these factors or others not listed, there may also be days in which the patient is prescribed to not get does not receive a dose of warfarin.
After discharge from the hospital, warfarin dosing will be subsequently managed by an anticoagulation clinic, per established protocols. All patients will have a goal INR of 2-3 during the duration of the study. The duration of therapy will be at least 30 days. The patient's physician may determine that anticoagulation therapy should be continued after the study period, based on their examination of the patient at the 30-day post-operative examination. Receives: Drug: Warfarin |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Strokes
Efficacy will be measured by the freedom from stroke during the study period. Events relating to stroke will be adjudicated using pre-determined definitions by independent committee members that remain blinded to the patient's treatment arm.
Measured: 30 days
Number of Participants With Thromboembolytic Events
Efficacy will be measured by the freedom from thromboembolytic events during the study period. Events relating to thromboembolytic events will be adjudicated using pre-determined definitions by independent committee members that remain blinded to the patient's treatment arm.
Measured: 30 days
Secondary outcomes (3)
Units of Blood Given After Initiation of Anticoagulation Medication
Units of blood or blood products given after the first dose of anticoagulation.
Measured: 30 days
Total Post-operative Length of Stay
This will be measured from the date/time of the end of the subject's surgery until the date/time of the patient's discharge from the hospital. This will be measured in hours, to the nearest tenth of an hour.
Measured: 30 days
Time in Therapeutic Range of INR, if on Warfarin
Time in therapeutic range of INR, if on warfarin, (eg. 2-3), measured as a percentage and defined for each patient using the Rosendaal equation
Measured: 30 days

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
In this open-label, prospective, randomized pilot study, patients who develop atrial fibrillation after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting surgery will be identified. Patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (>12 hours) or recurrent sustained atrial fibrillation (>2 episodes of atrial fibrillation lasting longer than 30 minutes) will be candidates for inclusion. Upon meeting study inclusion and exclusion criteria, and after informed consent, patients will be randomized to either the standard of care (warfarin per protocol) or apixaban arms of the trial. Routine postoperative care after CABG will occur in both groups. Upon discharge, anticoagulation in both groups will be managed by the anticoagulation clinic. Patients will be followed for 30 days after surgery.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 combined phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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 22 Jan 2021). 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?
Number of Participants With Strokes (time frame: 30 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
