About this study

Official title: Safety and Effectiveness of Early Aspirin Administration After Mitral Valve Repair: a Prospective, Non-inferiority, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial Protocol

This study compares the efficacy and safety of two different antithrombotic drugs, warfarin and aspirin, in early application after mitral valve repair (MVRep). The objective is to verify whether the type of antithrombotic therapy affects clinical outcomes and the incidence of thromboembolic and bleeding complications within 3 months after MVRep, and to provide safe and effective antithrombotic treatment options for patients undergoing MVRep.

Read the detailed description

Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to two groups: the Warfarin Group and the Aspirin Group.

Warfarin Group: Anticoagulation therapy was initiated on the second day after surgery, starting at 4.5 mg once nightly, with adjustments made based on changes in the INR value.

Aspirin Group: Antiplatelet therapy was initiated on the second day after surgery with oral administration of Aspirin Enteric-coated Tablets (Bayer Aspirin) at a dose of 100 mg once daily.

For all patients, antithrombotic therapy was continued for at least 3 months post-surgery. Patients were scheduled for outpatient visits at 1, 4, 8, and 12 weeks following the surgical intervention.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical thromboembolic events

    Clinical thromboembolic events are defined as stroke, myocardial infarction, symptomatic valve thrombosis, systemic embolism, deep venous thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

  2. Asymptomatic intracardiac thrombosis

    Asymptomatic intracardiac thrombosis is defined as subclinical leaflet thrombosis or intracavitary thrombus detected by cardiac computed tomography (CT) or echocardiography within 12 weeks postoperatively. Subclinical leaflet thrombosis is defined as leaflet thickening with reduced leaflet motion and at least moderate (reduction >50%) valve area obstruction, demonstrated by cardiac CT, with a lesser degree of leaflet thinning.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

  3. Death due to cardiovascular causes or thromboembolic events

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

  4. Major bleeding

    Fatal bleeding; and/or symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ, such as intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, intra-articular, or pericardial or intramuscular bleeding with compartment syndrome; and/or bleeding resulting in a decrease in hemoglobin level by 3.0 g/dL。

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. postoperative length of hospital stay

    from the day of surgery to the first discharge

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

  2. International normalized ratio at the time of thromboembolic or bleeding events

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

  3. CHA2DS2-VASc scores

    The CHA2DS2-VASC score is a risk stratification tool for assessing the likelihood of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. The maximum score is 9, and the minimum score is 0.A lower CHA2DS2-VASC score is generally considered better.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

  4. HAS-BLED scores

    The HAS-BLED score is a scoring system used to predict the risk of bleeding in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing anticoagulant therapy. Its full name is the "Hemorrhagic risk in Atrial fibrillation patients on anti-coagulation therapy using European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria, Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) definitions" score system, often abbreviated as HAS-BLED.The maximum score is 9, and the minimum score is 0.A lower HAS-BLED score is generally considered better.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Aspirin and Warfarin in people with Mitral Valve Repair Surgery, run by Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 13 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 2024. 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 China. 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?

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?

Contact Huanlei Huang Phd (765-714-9765, hhuanlei@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical thromboembolic events (time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks). The study lists 4 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 18 Dec 2024.
