About this study

This study was designed to compare the effects on atrial rhythm control between SGLT2 inhibitor and other oral hypoglycemic agents in patients with atrial fibrillation and diabetes mellitus. We are to compare efficacy and safety between these two groups.

Read the detailed description

This study is a multicenter, prospective open blinded-endpoint design, 1:1 randomized, and controlled study, with total of 716 patients enrolled from 4-5 centers. The primary outcome is recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation within a year, when recurrence of atrial fibrillation is defined as at least one significant atrial fibrillation documented on 24-hour Holter ECG. Secondary outcomes are atrial fibrillation free survival, atrial fibrillation burden at various time points, ablation rate within a year, atrial fibrillation recurrence rate after ablation within a year, volume of left atrium, NT-ProBNP, Symptom score and Quality of Life.

What is being measured

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

  1. recurrence rate of AF within a year in all participants

    Recurrence rates of AF after stepwise rhythm control therapies including anti-arrhythmic drugs (AAD) and ablation.

    Measured: during 1 year

  2. recurrence rate of AF within a year in ablated participants

    Recurrence rates of AF after stepwise rhythm control therapies including anti-arrhythmic drugs (AAD) and ablation.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Atrial fibrillation free survival

    will be compared between two groups as the first of the secondary outcome, analyzed with Kaplan-Meier method and documented on curve

    Measured: from enrollment to recurrence

  2. Atrial fibrillation burden

    AF burden is defined as atrial fibrillation time percentage documented on 24-hour Holter ECG

    Measured: at the enrollment and 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after enrollment

  3. Ablation rate

    percentage of patients undergone ablation within a year

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Sinus rhythm maintenance rate

    Sinus rhythm is considered stable when either a standard ECG or a 24-hour Holter ECG showed no episode of clinically relevant arrhythmia, including AF, at the time of check-up

    Measured: at the enrollment and 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after enrollment

  5. Diameter of left atrium

    mm, measuring by transthoracic echocardiography

    Measured: difference between the time of enrollment and the time after 1 year

  6. NT-proBNP

    pg/mL

    Measured: difference between the time of enrollment and the time after 1 year

  7. mEHRA (modified European Heart Rhythm Association) symptom score

    1, 2a, 2b, 3 and 4. High score means high AF severity.

    Measured: at the enrollment and 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after enrollment

  8. Atrial Fibrillation Effect on QualiTy-of-Life (AFEQT) score

    consisted of 20 questions. Lower AFEQT score means high AF severity.

    Measured: at the enrollment and after 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of SGLT-2 Inhibitor and Atrial Fibrillation, run by Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 24 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2023. 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 South Korea. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

recurrence rate of AF within a year in all participants (time frame: during 1 year). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05029115, 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 23 Jan 2023.
