E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the Short Run AF study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long term anticoagulation with rivaroxaban against standard of care (SOC) in patients with ESVEA and CHA2DS2VASC score ≥3 on the incidence of ischemic stroke and peripheral embolism after 2 years follow-up and the occurrence of major bleeding events. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives will include: - Efficacy-related objectives: o To compare randomized groups on net clinical benefit, major cardiovascular events, overall survival, cognitive decline. o To compare randomized groups on individual components of composite primary and secondary efficacy endpoints - Exploratory objectives: o To describe and compare between randomized groups the incidence of documented atrial fibrillation diagnosed from patient symptoms or systematic 24 hours ECG Holter performed at 1 year and 2-year follow-up. o To evaluate through cerebral MRI the incidence of asymptomatic cerebral damage including silent cerebral ischemia and microbleeds at 2-year follow-up. - Safety-related objectives: o To assess the occurrence of life-threatening or fatal bleeding, clinically relevant non-major bleeding intracranial hemorrhage and minor bleeding

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy endpoint is the first ischemic stroke or peripheral embolism detected clinically and on systematic cerebral MRIs in a time-to-event analysis. The primary safety outcome is major bleeding at any site in the body according to the criteria of the International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH)
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary endpoints will include: - Efficacy-related endpoints: o A composite of ischemic stroke, peripheral embolism or major bleeding (net clinical benefit); a composite of death from cardiovascular causes, stroke, systemic embolism, myocardial infarction (major cardiovascular events); death from any cause; cognitive decline as assessed by the MMS (26). o Individual components of composite primary and secondary efficacy endpoints - Exploratory endpoints: o Incidence of documented atrial fibrillation diagnosed from patient symptoms or systematic 24 hours ECG Holter performed at 1- and 2-year follow-up. o Incidence of asymptomatic MRI-detected cerebral damage including silent cerebral ischemia and microbleeds at 2-year follow up. - Safety-related endpoints: o Life-threatening or fatal bleeding events, clinically relevant non-major bleeding intracranial hemorrhage and minor bleeding events. Bleeding severity will be assessed according to ISTH classification.
