Dabigatran Versus Warfarin With NVAF Who Undergo PCI (COACH-AF-PCI)

A Randomized Study Comparing Dabigatran Etexilate Versus Warfarin in Chinese Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Who Undergo Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Stenting (DES)

This study is to compare the efficacy and safety of dabigatran ethidium b.i.d.+ clopidogrel + ASA [100 mg q.d. *1 month] and warfarin + clopidogrel + ASA [100 mg, q.d.*1 month] in Chinese NVAF patients undergoing PCI with stenting (elective or due to ACS).

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Coronary Artery Disease; Atrial Fibrillation
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: dabigatran; Drug: warfarin

Detailed Description

This is an open-label, multi-center, randomized, controlled, prospective study.The object of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of dabigatran etexilate combined with dual anti-platelet therapy versus warfarin combined with dual anti-platelet therapy in Chinese patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention.

The subjects are randomized into study group and control group using central randomization for open-label dosing:(1) Study group: dabigatran etexilate 110 mg bid + aspirin 100 mg qd + clopidogrel 75 mg qd. Aspirin is withdrawn 1 month later;(2) Control group: warfarin (according to clinical routine monitoring of INR, maintain the therapeutic rang at 2.0-3.0) + aspirin 100 mg qd + clopidogrel 75 mg qd. Aspirin is withdrawn 1 month later;All patients should receive the study medication for 6 month.

Primary endpoint:Time to the first occurrence of BARC-defined (grade 2-5) clinically relevant bleeding.

Key secondary endpoint:Time to the first occurrence of net clinical adverse events. Net clinical adverse event is composed of major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events (all death, recurrent myocardial infarction, ischemia-induced revascularization of the target vessel, or stroke/systemic embolism) or BARC-defined (grade 2-5) clinically relevant bleeding.

Secondary endpoints:1) Major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events 2) Major bleeding or clinically relevant non-major bleeding (ISTH definition) 3) Major bleeding (ISTH definition) 4) Any bleeding event (BARC-defined grade 1-5) 5) Clinically relevant bleeding (BARC-defined grade 2-5) 6) Bleeding (BARC-defined grade 3-5)

2. Patients proposed to undergo left atrial appendage occlusion or atrial fibrillation radiofrequency ablation
3. Cardiogenic shock during current hospitalization;
4. Patients who have used fibrinolytic agents within 24 hours of randomization that, in the opinion of the Investigator, will put the patient at high risk of bleeding;
5. Stroke within 1 month prior to screening visit;
6. Patients, who in the opinion of the Investigator, have had major surgery within the month prior to screening;
7. Patient has received an organ transplant or is on a waiting list for an organ transplant;
8. History of intraocular, spinal, retroperitoneal or a traumatic intra-articular bleeding unless the causative factor has been permanently eliminated or repaired (e.g. by surgery);
