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 ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The dual primary objectives of this study were: 1) To determine if apixaban is noninferior to Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA) (INR target range 2.0-3.0) on the combined endpoint of International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) who develop acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/or undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with planned concomitant P2Y12 inhibitor therapy. 2) To determine if anticoagulant plus single antiplatelet therapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor is superior to anticoagulant plus dual antiplatelet therapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor and aspirin on the combined outcome of ISTH major and clinically relevant non-major bleeding in patients with NVAF who develop ACS and/or undergo PCI with concomitant anticoagulant therapy.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was in compliance with the ethical principles derived from the Declaration of Helsinki and in compliance with all International Conference on Harmonization Good Clinical Practice Guidelines. All the local regulatory requirements pertinent to safety of trial participants were followed.

    Notes
    [1] - The number of subjects reported to be in the baseline period are not the same as the worldwide number enrolled in the trial. It is expected that these numbers will be the same.
    Justification: 4683 participants enrolled in the study, however, only 4614 were randomized.

    The rate of International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) major or Clinically Relevant Non-Major (CRNM) bleeding with Apixaban versus Vitamin K Antagonist (VKA) during the treatment period
    End point description
    Time to first ISTH major or CRNM bleeding during the 6-month period of treatment with Apixaban or VKA. N is the number of participants treated with Apixaban or VKA. n is the number of participants treated with Apixaban or VKA with major or CRNM bleeding in each treatment group during the 6-month period of treatment. Event rates are calculated based on the number of participants with major or CRNM bleeding divided by the sum of the number of days from the first dose of study drug to the event date or censoring date and expressed as percentage per year.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    05 Apr 2016
    The purpose of this amendment is to clarify language for the targeted SAE reporting, add language referencing stopping guidance in the DMC charter, and correct omissions from the original protocol. In the inclusion section, wording was changed to accommodate countries where age of adulthood is not 18 years of age. The target population was clarified to address NSTEMI with cardiac biomarkers to distinguish from unstable angina. Study was originally meant to allow patients who had balloon angioplasty, either with or without a stent being placed. Removing the word "with a stent" allows balloon angioplasty without stent. Additional language on unstable angina entry also added for clarification of the population. In addition, other revisions and/or clarifications are listed below within the synopsis and the protocol body. 1. Addition of word “and” after ACS in multiple places to clarify the population. 2. Replaced word antiplatelet with anticoagulant in hypothesis 3. In study figure 3.1.1 clarified exclusion box for CABG 4. Corrected exclusion criteria typo for serum creatinine from 133 micromol/L to 221 micromol/L 5. Deleted duplicate text for WOCBP who are breastfeeding. 6. Deleted Aspirin Placebo from Adverse drug reactions. 7. Added additional subcriteria under “other criteria”. 8. Clarified Prohibited/restricted treatments paragraph 9. Corrected greater than and less than signs 10. Asterisk added for Visits 1-3 in Short Term Procedure Outline 11. Clarified SAE reporting 12. Added paragraph to DMC 13. Clarified wording for Drug Study Records. 14. Added 2 abbreviation to terms table 15. Corrected any typographical errors. Removing the version number from of the Investigator Brochure
    28 Apr 2016
    The purpose of amendment 02 is to clarify the hypothesis, objectives and patient population in regard to patients who have non-valvular atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome and/or PCI by adding the word “and” in front of “PCI” throughout the protocol, editing the study schematic, as well as to add clarifying language to the targeted SAE reporting section. Table 4-1 was updated to include BMS study medication that will be supplied in some countries where local sourcing is not an option. In addition sections 4.3, 4.8, 4.9, and 9.2.2 were updated based on the mandatory language in the revised protocol model document.
    11 Oct 2017
    The purpose of Amendment 05 is to reword inconsistent language in the current protocol to clarify the patient eligibility criteria, add an efficacy composite endpoint of all-cause death/all-cause re-hospitalization and to correct typographical errors. In addition, Amendment 05 lists some of the data not specified in the protocol but included in the electronic case report form; this data is planned for potential secondary publications. Medical Monitor Address Change
    21 Aug 2018
    Amendment 07 - (1) Describes the use of hierarchical statistical testing to analyze the data for apixaban vs VKA and aspirin vs aspirin placebo; (2) Notes the change in the Medical Monitor and his contact information. Change in Medical Monitor Contact information. Date corrected on title page of protocol.
