Conditions:

Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation

Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Phase:

PHASE4

Brief Summary

The study purpose is to assess the impact of an educational program on patient adherence in patients taking Apixaban for SPAF at 24 weeks

Detailed Description

SPAF=Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation ISTH=International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis Primary Purpose: Other: To measure adherence to the study medication using an electronic monitor...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients with diagnosed non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (documented by 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) or Holter recording) and eligible for oral anticoagulant (OAC) therapy
  • Presence of at least one of the following risk factors for stroke:
  • Prior stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA)
  • Age ≥75 years
  • Hypertension
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Symptomatic heart failure \[New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class ≥II\]
  • Must be able to self-administer treatment
  • Either Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) treated or VKA naive. Patients treated with VKA should have received the VKA treatment for ≥3 months. VKA naïve patients should not have received VKA treatment for more than 30 days within the last 12 months. Patients who are not described by either of the above criteria are not eligible for the study
  • Patients previously treated with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) for stroke prevention are allowed (and will switch to Apixaban)
  • Patients with screening mini-mental state examination (MMSE) more than 24
  • Subject Re-enrollment: This study does not permit the re-enrollment of a subject that has discontinued the study as a pre-treatment failure
  • Age and Reproductive Status:
  • i) Men and women ≥18 years of age
  • ii) Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use method(s) of contraception based on the tables in protocol. WOCBP must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) within 24 hours prior to the start of study medication
  • iv) Women must not be breastfeeding
  • v) Men who are sexually active with women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use any contraceptive method with a failure rate of less than 1% per year
  • vi) Women who are not of childbearing potential (ie, who are postmenopausal or surgically sterile); and azoospermic men do not require contraception

  • Patients receiving Rivaroxaban, Dabigatran or Apixaban
  • Medical History and Concurrent Diseases:
  • Conditions other than atrial fibrillation that require chronic anticoagulation (e.g., prosthetic mechanical heart valve, venous thromboembolism; also see Section 3.4, Concomitant Treatments)
  • Patient with serious bleeding in the last 6 months or with a lesion or condition at high risk of bleeding such as:
  • Active peptic ulcer disease, current or recent gastrointestinal ulceration
  • Known or suspected esophageal varices
