Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study is to establish the long term safety of dabigatran etexilate and to assess the effect of a knowledge translation intervention on the prognosis, cardiovascular risk profile and quality of care in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). A total of 261 patients are proposed to be to be recruited from India.

Inclusion Criteria

  • •Patients are eligible for this study if they meet the following criteria:
  • •Randomization to dabigatran in RE-LY and not permanently discontinued from dabigatran at the time of RE-LY termination visit
  • •Patient must require long-term treatment with oral anticoagulation and investigator determines it is clinically appropriate for patient to continue receiving oral anticoagulation.
  • •Written, informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

  • •Need for anticoagulant treatment for disorders other than atrial fibrillation
  • •Plan to perform a pulmonary vein ablation or surgery for cure of AF
  • •Patients with prosthetic heart valves requiring anticoagulation differing from an INR of 2.0?3.0
  • •Symptomatic or endoscopically documented gastroduodenal ulcer disease in the 30 days prior to the start of this trial
  • •Severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance ≤30 mL/min) based upon last results available from RE-LY 1160.26 (should be from within the past year)
  • •Anaemia (haemoglobin <100g/L) or thrombocytopenia (platelet count <100 x 109/L) based upon last results available from RE-LY 1160.26 (should be from within the past year).
  • •Uncontrolled hypertension (SBP >180 mmHg and/or DBP >100 mmHg)
  • •Active liver disease, including known hepatitis A, B or C
  • •Active infective endocarditis
  • •Women who are pregnant, lactating or of childbearing potential who refuse to use a medically acceptable form of contraception throughout the study
  • •Patients who have received an investigational drug other than dabigatran in the past 30 days or are participating in another drug study.
  • •Patients considered unreliable by the investigator concerning the requirements for follow-up during the study and/or compliance with study drug administration (i.e., demonstrated study drug compliance of less than 80% in RE-LY or was noncompliant with study visits in RE-LY), or has any condition which in the opinion of the investigator would not allow safe participation in the study (e.g., drug addiction, alcohol abuse).
  • •Current use of quinidine.
