The Efficacy and Safety of Non-vItamiN K antaGonist oraL Anticoagulants for intermEdiate Stroke Risk in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation (SINGLE-AF)

Phase 4
Recruiting
Conditions
Atrial Fibrillation Patients With Intermediate Stroke Risk
Interventions
Drug: Anticoagulation group(Apixaban group)
Registration Number
NCT04437654
Lead Sponsor
Yonsei University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) in atrial fibrillation patients with intermediate stroke risk (CHA2DS2-VASc score 1 for male, 2 for female).

A. Major safety results include major bleeding and clinically relevant non-major bleeding.

B. Major efficacy results include strokes, systemic embolism and cardiovascular mortality.

C. Other results include myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, transient ischemic attack, hospitalization, drug compliance, quality of life questionnaire (AFEQT), cognitive function (KDSQ), aging questionnaire(K-Frail) and hand grip strength.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Composite outcome24 months

Composite outcome including stroke/systemic embolism, major bleeding, and cardiovascular death

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Stroke24 months

)Ischemic stroke specifically refers to central nervous system infarction (brain, spinal cord, or retinal cell death attributable to ischemia) accompanied by overt symptoms, while silent infarction by definition causes no known symptoms. Stroke also broadly includes intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Hospital admissionBaseline, 1month, 6 month, 12 month, 18 month, 24 month

Hospital admission means admission of a covered person to a hospital as an inpatient for medically necessary and appropriate care and treatment of an Illness or Injury.

DeathBaseline, 1month, 6 month, 12 month, 18 month, 24 month

the permanent stopping of all the vital bodily activities

Systemic embolism24 months

Systemic embolism refers to emboli in the arterial circulation, and defined by both clinical and objective evidence of sudden loss of end-organ perfusion.

Major bleeding24 months

The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH)/Scientific and Standardization Committee (SSC) definitions and bleeding assessment tool are useful for standardizing the reporting of bleeding symptoms.

1. Fatal bleeding. and/or 2. Symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ, such as intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, intraarticular or pericardial, or intramuscular with compartment syndrome. and/or 3. Bleeding causing a fall in hemoglobin level of 2 g/dL (1.24 mmol/L) or more, or leading to transfusion of two or more units of whole blood or red cells.

Transient ischemic attack (TIA)Baseline, 1month, 6 month, 12 month, 18 month, 24 month

TIA is brief episodes of neurological dysfunction resulting from focal cerebral ischemia not associated with permanent cerebral infarction.

Clinically Relivant Non-Major Bleeding (CRNMB)Baseline, 1month, 6 month, 12 month, 18 month, 24 month

1. Any sign or symptom of hemorrhage (e.g., more bleeding than would be expected for a clinical circumstance, including bleeding found by imaging alone) that does not fit the criteria for the ISTH definition of major bleeding but does meet at least one of the following criteria: i. requiring medical intervention by a healthcare professional ii. leading to hospitalization or increased level of care iii. prompting a face to face (i.e., not just a telephone or electronic communication) evaluation 2. ISTH major bleeding in non-surgical patients is defined as having a symptomatic presentation and 1: i. Fatal bleeding, and/or ii. Bleeding in a critical area or organ, such as intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, intra-articular or pericardial, or intramuscular with compartment syndrome, and/or iii. Bleeding causing a fall in hemoglobin level of 20 g L-1 (1.24 mmol L-1) or more, or leading to transfusion of two or more units of whole blood or red cells.
