Xarelto on Prevention of Stroke and Non-central Nervous System Systemic Embolism in Patients With Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation in China: A Non-interventional Study
- Registration Number
- NCT02784717
- Lead Sponsor
- Bayer
- Brief Summary
This non-interventional field study will investigate rivaroxaban under clinical practice conditions for stroke prevention and for prevention of non-CNS systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation in China.
- Detailed Description
3000 patients will be provided with free drug.It is planned to have an interim analysis(IA) when 3000 patients are enrolled (cut off day is the 3000th patient completed at least 3 months follow-up visit). To end or continue enrolling patients will be decided based on the IA result and the evaluation comments from CFDA.

2. a transfusion of ≥2 units of packed red blood cells or whole blood, or
3. occurrence at a critical site (intracranial, intra-spinal, intraocular, pericardial, intra articular, intra-muscular with compartment syndrome, retroperitoneal), or

Treatment satisfaction questionnaire Up to 30 months Number of Non-major bleeding Up to 30 months Collected as serious or non-serious adverse events and defined as all bleeding events that do not fall in the category of major bleedings
Number of each reason for any switch from or interruption of rivaroxaban treatment Up to 30 months If the patients switch from or interruption of rivaroxaban treatment, patients or physicians will be asked by several questions about the reasons of the switch and interruption, and collected in CRF.
