E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Primary Objective of this prospective randomized study is to assess whether Apixaban significantly modifies microRNA involved in:1- coagulation 2- left ventricle and atrium function, 3- atrial fibrillation as compared to standard therapy with Warfarin. A population of 50 patients with ischemic heart disease and/or type 2 diabetes (T2DM) will be randomized to Apixaban or Warfarin to evaluate differences in the expression of specific circulating microRNAs before and after treatment. The primary end-point is to test whether the differences of the top three differentially expressed microRNA involved in coagulation between patients randomized to Apixaban and Warfarin at 3-month follow-up are statistically significant (p < 0.05). |
stabilire se Apixaban, rispetto alla terapia anticoagulante standard con Warfarin, sia in grado di modificare in maniera significativa i microRNAs coinvolti in: 1- coagulazione; 2- funzione atriale e ventricolare sinistra, 3- fibrillazione atriale. Una popolazione di 50 pazienti con cardiopatia ischemica e/o DM tipo 2 (T2DM) sar¿ randomizzata ad assumere Apixaban o Warfarin per valutare differenze nell¿espressione di specifici microRNA circolanti prima e dopo il trattamento. L¿end-point primario dello studio ¿ valutare se la differenza esistente tra i livelli di espressione dei primi 3 microRNAs coinvolti nella cascata coagulativa tra i pazienti randomizzati ad Apixaban e a Warfarin dopo 3 mesi di follow-up sia statisticamente significativa (p<0.05). |

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary Objective: Assess whether Apixaban positively modify microRNA involved in platelet function as compared to Warfarin |
stabilire se Apixaban sia in grado di modulare positivamente i microRNAs coinvolti nella funzione piastrinica rispetto al Warfarin. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Men and post-menopause women of age 45 to 80 years with AF who need anticoagulation treatment.No contraindications to Apixaban and Warfarin as per registration. Presence of ischemic heart disease or diabetes (type II). Ability to understand and sign the informed consent. |
- Uomini e donne in età post-menopausale (età compresa tra 45 e 80 anni), con storia di cardiopatia ischemica e/o DM tipo 2 (T2DM) senza controindicazioni ad assumere Apixaban e Warfarin, che richiedano terapia anticoagulante orale. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Any acute or chronic condition (infections, cancer, chronic inflammatory diseases) that may interfere with microRNA assessment. Because of the policy of our Ethic Committee on Women of childbearing potential,no women of child bearing potential will be enrolled. • Malignant hypertension - • Patients without supervision and/or at high risk of low compliance to treatment.
|
- Qualunque condizione acuta o cronica (infezioni, neoplasia, malattia infiammatoria cronica) che possa interferire con la valutazione dei microRNAs. - Donne in potenziale stato di gravidanza. ipertensione maligna. Pazienti non complianti al trattamento
