Trial summary

Anticoagulation therapy is the most important part of the treatment strategy for atrial fibrillation. Previous studies have confirmed that both warfarin and new oral anticoagulants can effectively prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. Read more about this study

About this study

Anticoagulation therapy is the most important part of the treatment strategy for atrial fibrillation. Previous studies have confirmed that both warfarin and new oral anticoagulants can effectively prevent stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, the current situation of anticoagulation in atrial fibrillation is not optimistic. This project aims to explore the prevalence of inappropriate doses of anticoagulants in my country. , and the influencing factors related to such doses. By analyzing the status quo, characteristics and influencing factors, suggestions and management plans to promote rational use are put forward to provide certain guidance and help for anticoagulation therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Read the detailed description

The project is carried out in 30 research centers across the country, and the research object is the prescription/medical order data of real-world atrial fibrillation patients (outpatient and inpatient), including clinical diagnosis, drug use, outpatient and emergency and inpatient records, medical records, as well as laboratory tests, Demographic and other aspects of information, a total of 5000 patients were included, and it is expected to be completed within 3 years. The analysis indicators include patient population distribution, comorbid diseases, concomitant drugs, creatinine clearance rate, proportion of various drugs used, CHA2DS2-VASc score and embolism risk, HAS-BLED score, antithrombotic therapy, etc., to evaluate the influencing factors of inappropriate anticoagulation dose, and to explore the macro trend of anticoagulation therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of potentially inappropriate NOAC prescriptions

    We will adopt an adaptive design to involve for summary of products characteristics, and perform appropriateness assessments of prevalent NOAC strategies based on indications, NOAC selection, or dosages according to reference materials from approved NMPA labeling recommendations for each agent and 2021 European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) Practical Guide on the Use of NOACs in AF Patients.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Patient profiles with NOAC prescriptions

    Identify the characteristics of participants who were given appropriate NOAC prescriptions and those who did not from various perspectives: demographics, clinical, medical management, prescription information, therapy, regional differences, types of treating physicians, and NOACs availability.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Number of major bleeding events

    Major bleeding will be defined according to International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) criteria.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adverse events

    Detailed data on management of NOAC-related adverse events will be collected.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atrial Fibrillation and Anticoagulant Therapy, run by Henan Provincial People's Hospital.

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 6 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 19 May 2022. 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.

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 Shujuan Zhao (0086-13837101436, 49800425@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of potentially inappropriate NOAC prescriptions (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 3 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 NCT05361889, 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 19 May 2022.
