|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
A subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if all of the following criteria apply: 1. Male or female ≥18 years of age at the time informed consent is signed. 2. Women must be surgically sterile or postmenopausal (greater than 1 year since their last menstrual period with an FSH level of greater than 30 IMU/ml). Surgically sterile is defined as a total hysterectomy or bilateral oopherectomy. A tubal ligation is not acceptable as surgically sterile. 3. Diagnosis of chronic non valvular atrial fibrillation with a low or intermediate risk for stroke within 6 months of the screening visit confirmed by either ECG or telemetry. • Subjects diagnosed with paroxysmal AF, persistent AF or permanent AF are all eligible for participation in the study. Subjects with atrial flutter do not qualify for the study. • Subjects previously diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, with normal thyroid function and continued AF are eligible for participation in the study. A subject will be considered at a low or intermediate risk for stroke if one of the following applies: • Subjects ≤60 years of age with no heart disease • Subjects <60 years of age with heart disease but no risk factors (defined as: heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction less than 35%, diabetes, history of hypertension and prior embolic event) • Subjects ≥60 yrs and ≤75 years of age with no risk factors and no heart disease 4. Is available for participation in the study for at least 20 weeks. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
A subject will not be eligible for inclusion in this study if any of the following criteria apply: 1. Previous myocardial infarction, stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic), TIA or other cardiovascular event 2. Subjects with mechanical prosthetic valve or rheumatic valvular disease 3. History of hypertension (defined as medical treatment for the disease within the past year), diabetes (defined as medical treatment for the disease within the past year) or prior embolic event 4. Subjects with a LVEF less than 35% 5. Subjects that are greater than 75 years of age at the screening visit or subjects that will become greater than 75 years of age during their participation in the study. 6. Subjects with hepatic disease as defined by any ALT, AST or bilirubin abnormality at the screening visit. 7. Subjects with chronic liver disease (e.g. Hepatitis C) 8. Renal insufficiency as defined by creatinine clearance less than 30 ml/min 9. Subjects requiring treatment with Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs 10. Subjects with an ongoing requirement for any anti-thrombotic drug therapy such as a vitamin K antagonist, heparin (standard unfractionated or low molecular weight), heparinoid, direct thrombin inhibitor, GPIIb/IIIA receptor antagonist, thrombolytic agent or intravenous dextran. 11. Subject requires ongoing treatment with clopidogrel. 12. Subject requires ongoing treatment with amiodarone or dofetilide. 13. Subject requires ongoing treatment with a calcium channel blocker. 14. History of aspirin sensitivity or any contraindication to aspirin 15. History of gastrointestinal bleed or gastrointestinal intolerance when taking aspirin 16. Subjects with a history of hypercoagulable syndrome or vasculitis 17. Subjects with conditions that subject them to an increased risk of bleeding such as: • Previous gastrointestinal bleeding • Hemorrhagic disorders • History of intraocular, spinal, intracranial, retroperitoneal bleeding • Major surgical procedure or major hemorrhagic event within 30 days prior to screening visit 18. Subjects with anemia as defined by hemoglobin <12 g/dL. 19. NVAF secondary to other reversible disorders such as thyrotoxicosis. 20. Malignancy within the past five years [other than superficial squamous cell carcinoma which is non-invasive on pathology, basal cell carcinoma which is successfully treated with local excision, and/or cervical cancer in situ treated definitively at least 6 months prior to screening]. 21. Life expectancy less than 1 year 22. Has any concurrent medical condition or any clinically significant abnormality identified on the screening physical examination, laboratory tests or electrocardiogram, which otherwise contraindicates participation in a clinical trial with a new chemical entity. 23. Has a history of alcohol abuse, substance abuse or both, within the past year, as determined by the investigator. 24. Use of any investigational drug or device within 30 days or 5 half lives (whichever is longer) prior to screening. 25. There is a known hypersensitivity to any drugs chemically related to the investigational product. 26. In the opinion of the Investigator, has a risk of non-compliance with study procedures, cannot read, and cannot understand study-related materials. 27. Subjects with known gastric bypass, malabsorption syndrome or short gut syndrome. 28. Subjects that are self identified as being Japanese heritage. |
