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   43845   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7282   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.

    AXAFA - AFNET 5
    Anticoagulation using the direct factor Xa inhibitor apixaban during Atrial Fibrillation catheter Ablation: Comparison to vitamin K antagonist therapy.
    A.3.1Title of the trial for lay people, in easily understood, i.e. non-technical, language
    During atrial fibrillation catheter ablation procedure treatment with
    anticoagulant drugs is necessary in order to prevent blood clotting and
    thereby decrease the risk of procedure related strokes. In this trial two
    different types of anticoagulant drugs are being compared during and after
    the atrial fibrillation catheter ablation procedure: the novel direct factor Xa
    inhibitor apixaban and any of the standard vitamin K antagonists.

    Atrial fibrillation catheter ablation
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Atrial fibrillation is a common cardiac rhythm disturbance. Although not
    directly life-threatening, it may have dangerous consequences: e.g., an
    up to fivefold increased risk of suffering a stroke.

    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To demonstrate that anticoagulation with the direct factor Xa inhibitor
    apixaban is not less safe than VKA therapy in patients undergoing catheter
    ablation of non-valvular AF in the prevention of peri-procedural
    complications.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The substudy involving MRI scans after the ablation procedure aims to identify invisible damage such as 'silent'strokes in the test versus the comparator group.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study Yes

    I3. Presence of at least one of the CHADS2 stroke risk factors
    - Stroke or TIA
    - age ≥ 75 years,
    - hypertension, defined as chronic treatment for hypertension, estimated need for continuous antihypertensive therapy or resting blood pressure > 145/90 mm Hg,
    - diabetes mellitus,

    I4. Age ≥ 18 years
    I5. Provision of signed informed consent.

    E2. Participation in another clinical trial, either within the past 2 months or still ongoing.
    E3. Previous participation in AXAFA.
    E4. Pregnant women or women of childbearing potential not on adequate birth control: only women with a highly effective method of contraception (oral contraception or intra-uterine device) or sterile women can be randomised.

    Exclusion criteria related to a cardiac condition
    E9. Valvular AF (as defined by the focussed update of the ESC guidelines on AF, i.e. severe mitral valve stenosis, mechanical heart valve). Furthermore, patients who underwent mitral valve repair are not eligible for AXAFA.
    E10. Any previous ablation or surgical therapy for AF.
    E11. Cardiac ablation therapy for any indication (catheter-based or surgical) within 3 months prior to randomisation.
    E12. Clinical need for “triple therapy” (combination therapy of clopidogrel, acetylsalicylic acid, and oral anticoagulation)
    E13. Other contraindications for use of VKA or apixaban.
    E14. Documented atrial thrombi less than 3 months prior to randomisation.
    Exclusion criteria based on laboratory abnormalities
    E15. Severe chronic kidney disease with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 15 ml/min.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    It is defined as the time to the first occurence of a composite of:
    - all-cause death,
    - stroke (ischemic stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage and haemorrhagic
    stroke), and
    - major bleeding events, defined as BARC 2 or higher.
    Stroke comprises ischemic strokes as defined by the FDA (including ischemic infarction with (transient) clinical symptoms that resolve completely within 24 hours, but have a matching lesion on brain imaging as well as ischemic infarction interrupted by death within 24 hours), subarachnoid haemorrhage and haemorrhagic stroke. Major bleeding events will be defined according to the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) definition as BARC 2 or higher, i.e. all bleeding events that require an action by a health care professional. This outcome parameter comprises all relevant bleeding events in a clinical setting and has been used to optimise arterial vascular procedures such as percutaneous coronary interventions.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Randomisation to end of follow-up, especially at 3-months on-site visit.
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    The secondary outcome parameters are defined as
    - any bleeding event
    - major bleeding events according to the ISTH and TIMI definitions,
    - number of strokes, other systemic embolic events, and all-cause
    deaths,
    - time from randomisation to ablation
    - nights spent in hospital after ablation
    - health-care related cost calculation estimated by quantification of
    interventions, nights spent in hospital, and the costs of outpatient
    treatment,
    - number of hospitalizations (at least one over-night stay) for
    cardiovascular reasons ,
    - treatment duration prior to ablation and total time on oral
    anticoagulation,
    - number of patients with clinically indicated TEE
    - ACT during ablation (assessed as mean, range, and number of ACT
    measurements within the target range)
    - time to recurrent AF (determined clinically, and according to ECG and
    Holter ECG recording at the end of follow-up),
    - rhythm status at the end of follow-up (assessed by Holter ECG),
    - vascular access complications leading to prolongation of in-hospital
    stay or specific therapy,
    - quality-of-life changes at month 3 compared to baseline (assessed by
    EQ-5D, SF-12 questionnaires, and by the Karnofsky scale),
    - change of cognitive function at month 3 compared to baseline
    (assessed by Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale; MoCA),
    - MRI sub-study, only: Prevalence of clinically "silent" MRI-detected
    brain lesions within 48 hours after the ablation procedure,
    - MRI sub-study, only: Impact of ablation-associated clinically overt
    strokes or MRI-detected but clinically "silent" acute brain lesions on
    cognitive function after ablation.
