DUAL Antithrombotic Therapy in Patients With AF and ACS

An Open-label, Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate DUAL Antithrombotic Therapy With Rivaroxaban Plus Ticagrelor vs. Rivaroxaban Plus Clopidogrel in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Acute Coronary Syndrome

The study aims to show inferiority of rivaroxaban plus ticagrelor when compared to rivaroxaban plus clopidogrel in terms of safety. Safety will be determined by comparing the rates of death or ischemic event-including myocardial infarction, definite or probable stent thrombosis, stroke, or urgent revascularization.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Atrial Fibrillation; Acute Coronary Syndromes
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Rivaroxaban 15 MG Oral Tablet; Drug: Ticagrelor 90 MG Oral Tablet; Drug: Clopidogrel 75 Mg Oral Tablet

Detailed Description

The main objective of this study is to compare a Dual Antithrombotic Therapy (DAT) regimen of rivaroxaban plus ticagrelor with rivaroxaban plus clopidogrel in Patients With Non Valvular Atrial Fibrillation (NVAF) and Acute Coronary Syndrome. The study aims to show inferiority of rivaroxaban plus ticagrelor when compared to rivaroxaban plus clopidogrel in terms of safety. Safety will be determined by comparing the rates of death or ischemic event-including myocardial infarction, definite or probable stent thrombosis, stroke, or urgent revascularization.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Adults with either active or a history of non-valvular atrial fibrillation or flutter with the planned or existing use of an oral anticoagulant for prophylaxis of thromboembolism. In addition, subjects must have had an acute coronary syndrome
2. Planned use of antiplatelet agents for at least 12 months

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Conditions other than atrial fibrillation that require chronic anticoagulation. (e.g. prosthetic mechanical heart valve)
2. Severe renal insufficiency (serum creatinine > 2.5 mg/dL or a calculated creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min
3. Patients with a history of intracranial hemorrhage
4. Patients have had or will undergo Coronary arterial bypass graft (CABG) for their index acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event
5. Patients with known ongoing bleeding and patients with known coagulopathies
6. Any contraindications or allergies to rivaroxaban, or to intended P2Y12 antagonists
7. Have a history of stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
8. Have known significant liver disease or liver function test (LFT) abnormalities
9. Have any severe condition that would limit life expectancy to less than 12 months
