Trial summary

Public health surveillance models, previously used for the ongoing detection of occurrence of rare events, could be used to reinforce existing pharmacovigilance systems. These models have not been previously used for Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) detection in medico-administrative databases. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Use of Public Health Surveillance Models in the French National Health System Database: A Tool for an Ongoing Monitoring of Adverse Drug Reaction? The Case of Dabigatran

Public health surveillance models, previously used for the ongoing detection of occurrence of rare events, could be used to reinforce existing pharmacovigilance systems. These models have not been previously used for Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) detection in medico-administrative databases. DABISURV research project focuses on a new anticoagulant therapy, dabigatran, launched recently on the French market for atrial fibrillation (AF). This drug is at high risk for severe ADR and requires thus careful pharmacovigilance monitoring.

Primary objective is to compare the results of ongoing surveillance models to detect hemorrhages or acute myocardial infarction (AMI) associated with dabigatran, with the results obtained from the analysis of a cohort of patients with AF under the same treatment.

Read the detailed description

DABISURV study consists in an analyze of a cohort of patients with AF who have received at least one prescription Vitamin K Antagonists (VKA) - reference group - or of dabigatran in the French National Health Insurance System.

The uptake of dabigatran is followed for detecting hemorrhagic events or AMI associated with this molecule among first users.

The ability to detect quickly substantial ADR of new drugs is of critical importance to public health in order to facilitate timely public health response. If the public health surveillance models are found useful for this topic, then semi-automated procedures would be needed to detect ADR associated with new generation anticoagulants in medico-administrative databases. If the public health surveillance models are found not useful for the detection of ADR, the cohort study itself will provide essential data on the safety profile of dabigatran.

What is being measured

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

  1. results of ongoing surveillance models to detect hemorrhages or AMI (in frequency and proportion) associated with dabigatran or VKA for AF in a health database cohort of patients with AF treated by dabigatran or VKA

    Propensity-matching is required for adequate comparison and multivariate regression

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation and Anticoagulants, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Réunion 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 5 Sep 2018. 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?

results of ongoing surveillance models to detect hemorrhages or AMI (in frequency and proportion) associated with dabigatran or VKA for AF in a health database cohort of patients with AF treated by dabigatran or VKA (time frame: 36 months). 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 5 Sep 2018.
