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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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 purpose of the ODIn-AF study is to demonstrate that the continued administration of dabigatran for 12 months is superior in the prevention of silent cerebral embolism to discontinuation of OAC in patients free from symptomatic AF-episodes with an elevated stroke risk (CHA2DS2VASc score ≥2) after successful antral pulmonary vein ablation (and re-ablation if necessary) for paroxysmal and persistent AF.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study medication has already been authorized for the treatment of xxx. The investigator informed the patient about the study in detail and both signed the informed consent form. A patient insurance was in place. Adverse events were documented regularly

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The investigator examines whether all of the inclusion- and exclusion criteria are given and explains all study-related issues. The patient is included if he signs the informed consent form. Patients are included during the baseline visit prior to or until discharge after pulmonary vein ablation.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Written informed consent will be obtained and patients will be included in the study before or until discharge after first pulmonary vein ablation. The randomi-zation will be performed after a 3 months blanking period following antral pulmo-nary vein isolation or re-PVI for AF, followed by a 3 months observation period for AF-recurrences.

    Primary Analysis
    Statistical analysis description
    The primary efficacy analysis was based on the occurrence of the primary endpoint at 12 months after the randomization visit, which is performed 6 months after PVI. The rate of occurrence of one of the events, which define the endpoint, was compared between the treatment groups with a Mantel-Haenszel test stratified for centres, at a level of 5%.
