Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The population included in the study cohort will consist of patients who receive low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) for either the primary or secondary prevention of CVD. For those being treated with low-dose aspirin for primary CVD prevention, no previous CVD events must have occurred any time prior to initiation of low-dose aspirin treatment. CVD events consist of myocardial infarction, stroke (including ischaemic stroke and transient ischaemic attack), unstable angina, angina, and ischaemic heart disease.

Who may be able to join

  • Aged ≥18 years
  • Patients will be selected if they have at least two prescriptions for low-dose aspirin (75-100 mg) between 2008 and 2018 for either:
  • Primary prevention of CVD This is defined as patients who have no history of CVD any time prior to initiation of low-dose aspirin treatment are presumed to use for primary CVD prevention
  • Secondary prevention of CVD This is defined as patients who have a history of CVD any time prior to initiation of low-dose aspirin treatment
  • Patients with at least two prescriptions of low-dose aspirin with a dosage of 75-100mg within the first year of the index date.
  • Restricted to patients with observation for at least 12 months before and 12 after the index date.

Who cannot join

  • Prescription of low-dose aspirin in 12 months before the index date.

About this study

Official title: Persistence and Adherence to Low-Dose Aspirin for Primary and Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular DiseasE Using OHDSI

This study aims to gather information to what extent patients follow the treatment regimen of low-dose aspirin for primary and secondary prevention of diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Researcher will collect information about the percentage of time a patient has access to the medication, how long patients continue with the medication and of the proportion of patients who switch from dual-antiplatelet therapy (including low-dose aspirin) to a single antiplatelet therapy. The study will make use of secondary healthcare data sources converted in to Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) common data model within the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics (OHDSI) network.

Being tested
Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin, BAYE4465)
Medical subject headings
Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, Ischemic Attack, Transient, Angina, Unstable, Angina Pectoris, Coronary Artery Disease

Receives: Drug: Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin, BAYE4465)

What is being measured

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

  1. Adherence to low-dose aspirin

    Adherence low-dose aspirin use will be represented by the medication possession ratio (MPR)

    Measured: Retrospective analysis from 2007 to 2018

  2. Persistence to low-dose aspirin

    In terms of continuation and discontinuation:

    • Continuation at 30 and 60 day gaps
    • Discontinuation:
    • If patients switched to another antiplatelet therapy
    • If patients reinitiated low-dose aspirin >30 days and >60 days after end of supply i.e. of the pre-specified gap was exceeded
    • If patients stopped low-dose aspirin therapy completely

    Measured: Retrospective analysis from 2007 to 2018

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time to switch from dual-antiplatelet to a monotherapy

    Measured: Retrospective analysis from 2007 to 2018

No: Availability of this study's data will later be determined according to Bayer's commitment to the EFPIA/PhRMA "Principles for responsible clinical trial data sharing". This pertains to scope, timepoint and process of data access. As such, Bayer commits to sharing upon request from qualified researchers patient-level clinical trial data, study-level clinical trial data, and protocols from clinical trials in patients for medicines and indications approved in the US and EU as necessary for conducting legitimate research. This applies to data on new medicines and indications that have been approved by the EU and US regulatory agencies on or after January 01, 2014. Interested researchers can use www.clinicalstudydatarequest.com to request access to anonymized patient-level data and supporting documents from clinical studies to conduct research.

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?

Adherence to low-dose aspirin (time frame: Retrospective analysis from 2007 to 2018). 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 5 Nov 2021.
