Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety Study of F373280 (NCT NCT01831856)

NCT ID: NCT01831856

Last Updated: 2019-07-02

Results Overview

Time to first Atrial Fibrillation (AF) recurrence defined by the first episode of Atrial Fibrillation lasting for at least 10 minutes. AF recurrences or atrial flutter emergences: 7-day continuous electrocardiogram (ECG; 5-leads/2 or 3 channels) ambulatory recording (Holter ECG) between Visit 3 (Electrical Cardioversion Visit) and Visit 4 (Week 5). Then, the follow-up was documented using the Transtelephonic ECG monitor (TTEM): one transmission every two days from Week 9 to Week 24. For randomised patients with spontaneous cardioversion before Electrical Cardioversion, the recurrence of AF or the emergence of atrial flutter was assessed after Visit 3 (from Week 5). Moreover, during this TTEM period, if the patient experienced any AF or atrial flutter symptoms, it was recorded and documented using the TTEM.

Participant Flow

It was planned to randomise a total of 152 patients. Due to low recruitment, the study recruitment was interrupted prematurely. Instead of 152 patients, 157 patients were screened and a total of 135 were finally randomised. 1 patient received no dose of the study treatment and was also not included in the analyses.

Patients were randomised after 1 to 4-week run-in period without study treatment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: from electrical cardioversion (Visit 3) to last follow-up visit (W24)

Population: The Full Analysis Set is composed of all randomised patients having received at least one dose of the study treatment and with a successful cardioversion observed at Visit 3; a successful cardioversion was defined as either spontaneous cardioversion before Visit 3 or successful Electrical Cardioversion performed at Visit 3.

Time to first Atrial Fibrillation (AF) recurrence defined by the first episode of Atrial Fibrillation lasting for at least 10 minutes. AF recurrences or atrial flutter emergences: 7-day continuous electrocardiogram (ECG; 5-leads/2 or 3 channels) ambulatory recording (Holter ECG) between Visit 3 (Electrical Cardioversion Visit) and Visit 4 (Week 5). Then, the follow-up was documented using the Transtelephonic ECG monitor (TTEM): one transmission every two days from Week 9 to Week 24. For randomised patients with spontaneous cardioversion before Electrical Cardioversion, the recurrence of AF or the emergence of atrial flutter was assessed after Visit 3 (from Week 5). Moreover, during this TTEM period, if the patient experienced any AF or atrial flutter symptoms, it was recorded and documented using the TTEM.
