Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02556203
Lead Sponsor
Bayer
Brief Summary

To assess whether a rivaroxaban-based anticoagulation strategy, following successful TAVR, compared to an antiplatelet-based strategy, is superior in reducing death or first thromboembolic events (DTE).

To assess the primary bleeding events (PBE) of the rivaroxaban-based strategy compared to an antiplatelet-based strategy, following TAVR.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Successful TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) of an aortic valve stenosis (either native or valve-in-valve)

    • By iliofemoral or subclavian access
    • With any approved/marketed device
Exclusion Criteria
  • Atrial fibrillation (AF), current or previous, with an ongoing indication for oral anticoagulant treatment
  • Any other indication for continued treatment with any oral anticoagulant (OAC)
  • Known bleeding diathesis (such as but not limited to active internal bleeding, clinically significant bleeding, platelet count ≤ 50,000/mm3 at screening, hemoglobin level < 8.5 g/dL, active peptic ulcer or known gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, history of intracranial hemorrhage or subdural hematoma)
  • Any ongoing absolute indication for dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) at time of screening that is unrelated to the TAVR procedure
  • Clinically overt stroke within the last 3 months
  • Planned coronary or vascular intervention or major surgery
  • Severe renal impairment (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) or on dialysis, or post-TAVR unresolved acute kidney injury with renal dysfunction stage 2 or higher
  • Moderate and severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B or C) or any hepatic disease associated with coagulopathy

Rivaroxaban (Xarelto, BAY59-7939)Rivaroxaban (Xarelto, BAY59-7939)Subjects were treated with Rivaroxaban (10mg once-daily) and ASA (75-100mg once-daily) within first 90 days after randomization. After 90 days, ASA was discontinued and rivaroxaban (10mg once-daily) was to be continued alone. In the event of NOAF (New Onset of Atrial Fibrillation), subjects should be switched to rivaroxaban (20/15mg once-daily) and ASA (75-100mg once-daily) within first 90 days. After 90 days, ASA was discontinued and rivaroxaban (20/15mg once-daily) was to be continued alone.
Rivaroxaban (Xarelto, BAY59-7939)Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA)Subjects were treated with Rivaroxaban (10mg once-daily) and ASA (75-100mg once-daily) within first 90 days after randomization. After 90 days, ASA was discontinued and rivaroxaban (10mg once-daily) was to be continued alone. In the event of NOAF (New Onset of Atrial Fibrillation), subjects should be switched to rivaroxaban (20/15mg once-daily) and ASA (75-100mg once-daily) within first 90 days. After 90 days, ASA was discontinued and rivaroxaban (20/15mg once-daily) was to be continued alone.
AntiplateletAcetylsalicylic Acid (ASA)Subjects were treated with clopidogrel (75mg once-daily) and ASA (75-100mg once-daily) within first 90 days after randomization. After 90 days, clopidogrel was discontinued and ASA (75-100mg once-daily) was to be continued alone. In the event of NOAF, subjects should start treatment of open-label VKA to target INR 2 to 3 (according to guidelines) and ASA (75-100mg once-daily) within first 90 days. After 90 days, ASA was discontinued and VKA was to be continued alone.
AntiplateletVitamin K antagonist (VKA)Subjects were treated with clopidogrel (75mg once-daily) and ASA (75-100mg once-daily) within first 90 days after randomization. After 90 days, clopidogrel was discontinued and ASA (75-100mg once-daily) was to be continued alone. In the event of NOAF, subjects should start treatment of open-label VKA to target INR 2 to 3 (according to guidelines) and ASA (75-100mg once-daily) within first 90 days. After 90 days, ASA was discontinued and VKA was to be continued alone.
AntiplateletClopidogrelSubjects were treated with clopidogrel (75mg once-daily) and ASA (75-100mg once-daily) within first 90 days after randomization. After 90 days, clopidogrel was discontinued and ASA (75-100mg once-daily) was to be continued alone. In the event of NOAF, subjects should start treatment of open-label VKA to target INR 2 to 3 (according to guidelines) and ASA (75-100mg once-daily) within first 90 days. After 90 days, ASA was discontinued and VKA was to be continued alone.
