Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43858   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the study was to explore the effect of rivaroxaban on the complete resolution of left atrial (LA)/left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombi at the end-of-treatment visit (after 6 weeks of treatment) in subjects with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter who had LA/LAA thrombus confirmed by transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE).
    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this clinical study met all local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Conference on Harmonization guideline E6: Good Clinical Practice. Before entering the study, the informed consent explained to all subjects. Participating subjects signed informed consent form and could withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantage and without having to provide a reason for this decision. Only investigators qualified by training and experience were selected as appropriate experts to investigate the study drug.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    18 Jan 2013
    The title page of the noninterventional study protocol in Section 14.6 was removed and the synopsis was replaced with the new synopsis.
    26 Feb 2014
    This amendment also helped to enroll subjects from Western European Union (EU) countries as the availability of vitamin K antagonist(s) [VKA]/non-vitamin K antagonist or new oral anticoagulant(s) VKA/non-VKA or new oral anticoagulant(s) [NOAC]-naive subjects with atrial fibrillation is limited. Other revisions with Amendment 3 included: 1.Changed the Sponsor’s medical expert, 2. Added information that specified inclusion criteria regarding prior VKA and NOAC treatment, 3. Added a Study Outcome Committee to apply protocol definitions and adjudicate and classify endpoints on TEE, 4. Deleted the time period of “1 year” from enrollment criteria, 5. Added “Active endocarditis” to cardiac-related exclusion criteria, 6. Clarified that all eligible subjects should receive the study drug within 24 hours after treatment assignment, 7. Clarified duration of treatment, 8. Modified the evaluation schedule to clarify timing of electrocardiogram (ECG), trans-esophageal echocardiography/echocardiogram (TEE), laboratory evaluations and baseline blood sample, 9.
