A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) for Prevention of Stroke and Systemic Embolism in Indian Patients With Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation (NVAF)

Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation (NVAF)

Registration Number
NCT03887780
Lead Sponsor
Bayer
Brief Summary

This study is planned to collect prospective data and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of rivaroxaban for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in Indian patients with NVAF when used in clinical practice under real-life conditions.

The study will be conducted in routine clinical practice settings. Approximately 1000 patients from India will be enrolled in this study. Patients will be observed for maximum period of 12 months after the start of Xarelto treatment or until it is no longer possible (e.g. lost to follow-up, death, withdrawal) before the end of the observation period.

The decision by the investigator to start with of Xarelto must be independent of the inclusion of a patient to the study.

GroupInterventionDescription
TreatmentRivaroxaban (Xarelto,Bay 59-7939)Rivaroxaban treatment-naïve patients, at least 18 years of age and presenting with NVAF will be considered eligible for participation in this study only after the decision to treat with rivaroxaban has been made by the treating physician.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of treatment-emergent AEsUp to 18 months
Incidence of all-cause deathUp to 18 months

Deaths will be adjudicated as either vascular (e.g., due to stroke, embolism, myocardial infarction, or arrhythmia) or non-vascular (e.g., malignancy or infection).

Incidence of major bleeding eventsUp to 18 months

Major bleeding events include:

* Fatal bleeding

* Symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ

* Bleeding causing a fall in hemoglobin level of 20 g/L (1.24 mmol/L) or more, or leading to transfusion of two or more units of whole blood or red cells.

* Hemoglobin level; or

* Need for transfusion of packed red blood cells or whole blood.

Incidence of treatment-emergent SAEsUp to 18 months
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Non-major bleeding eventsUp to 18 months

The date of non-major bleeding events, treatment approaches employed during non-major bleeding events, and the associated outcomes will be collected.

AE rates in the different NVAF risk factor categoriesUp to 18 months

Rates of AEs across patients with different baseline risk profiles for stroke or bleeding calculated using Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age, Diabetes mellitus, Stroke(CHADS2), Vascular disease, Age, Sex category (CHA2DS2-VASc), or Hypertension, Abnormal liver/renal function, Stroke history, Bleeding predisposition, Labile international normalized ratios, Elderly, Drug/alcohol usage (HAS-BLED).

Incidence of symptomatic thromboembolic eventsUp to 18 months

The date of thromboembolic events, manner in which thromboembolic events were managed in the routine practice setting, and their outcomes will be recorded.

The thromboembolic events include:

* Stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA)

* Systemic embolism

* Myocardial infarction

Treatment persistence with rivaroxabanUp to 18 months

Treatment persistence with rivaroxaban therapy will be defined as the absence of a gap of \>60 days between two doses of rivaroxaban, without any switch to alternative anticoagulant. Reasons for any switch from or interruption of rivaroxaban therapy during the observation period will be collected and summarized.

SAE rates in the different NVAF risk factor categoriesUp to 18 months

Rates of SAEs across patients with different baseline risk profiles for stroke or bleeding calculated using Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age, Diabetes mellitus, Stroke (CHADS2), Vascular disease, Age, Sex category (CHA2DS2-VASc), or Hypertension, Abnormal liver/renal function, Stroke history, Bleeding predisposition, Labile international normalized ratios, Elderly, Drug/alcohol usage (HAS-BLED).
