About this study
Up to 20-30% of patients who are candidates for direct oral anticoagulation (DOAC) present with concomitant ischemic heart disease and often require coronary angiography with or without percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The decision whether to continue the DOAC throughout periprocedural period or interrupt DOAC before planned procedure represents a substantial challenge in daily clinical practice.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of uninterrupted direct-acting oral anticoagulation in patients undergoing trans-radial percutaneous coronary procedures.
Read the detailed description
The study design is an investigator-initiated, single-arm, open-label, pilot study in patients treated with DOAC undergoing trans-radial percutaneous coronary procedures.
Because of the exploratory nature of this study, no formal sample size calculations are required. On the basis of previous pilot studies with similar designs, a sample of 200 patients is planned; with a safety stopping rule based on the occurrence of BARC type 3 or 5 bleeding. In the present trial, if during the enrollment period more than 3 cases of BARC 3 or 5 bleeding occur up to 30-day follow-up, patient recruitment will be terminated. This number is based on the reported 1.6% BARC type 3 or 5 bleeding in patients undergoing transradial percutaneous coronary procedures.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Direct-acting oral anticoagulation in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Bleeding, run by Hospital Universitario La Fe at 4 sites in 2 countries.
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 1 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites in Spain, Italy. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Jorge Sanz Sanchez, MD, PhD (440087, sjorge4@gmx.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Rate of Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 2, 3 or 5 (time frame: 30-day follow-up). 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 NCT05292846, which also lists 7 linked publications.
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 26 Jan 2024.
