Trial Outcomes & Findings for Patient Convenience Study (NCT NCT02597920)

NCT ID: NCT02597920

Last Updated: 2019-02-21

Results Overview

The PACT-Q is a self-administered questionnaire which was developed as a means to investigate patients´ satisfaction with anticoagulant treatment and treatment convenience in patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE) or atrial fibrillation (AF). The PACT-Q2 is composed of three dimensions covering: convenience (11 items), burden of disease and treatment (2 items), and anticoagulant treatment satisfaction (7 items). Items for convenience and for burden of disease and treatment were reversed (reversed score = 6 - item score), added together and rescaled on a 0-100 scale to obtain the convenience dimension score (CDS). Items for anticoagulant treatment satisfaction are summed and rescaled on a 0-100 scale to determine the satisfaction dimension score (SDS). High scores are more favorable. The two dimension scores are presented for Baseline, Visit 2 (second assessment) and Visit 3 (last assessment) as mean and standard deviation (SD).

Measure
Cohort A Pradaxa®

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Visit 2 (7-124 days after initiation on Pradaxa® or VKA), Visit 3 (125-365 days after initiation on Pradaxa® or VKA).

Population: Eligible patients: All patients who took the prescribed treatment and without specific important protocol violations are eligible. PACT-Q2 score obtained after discontinuation of treatment or using incorrect procedure was excluded from the summary for that particular visit.

The PACT-Q is a self-administered questionnaire which was developed as a means to investigate patients´ satisfaction with anticoagulant treatment and treatment convenience in patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE) or atrial fibrillation (AF). The PACT-Q2 is composed of three dimensions covering: convenience (11 items), burden of disease and treatment (2 items), and anticoagulant treatment satisfaction (7 items).

Population: Eligible patients: All patients who took the prescribed treatment and without specific important protocol violations are eligible. PACT-Q2 score obtained after discontinuation of treatment or using incorrect procedure was excluded from the summary for that particular visit.

The PACT-Q2 is composed of three dimensions covering: convenience (11 items), burden of disease and treatment (2 items), and anticoagulant treatment satisfaction (7 items). The PACT-Q2 was to be administered to patients once treatment was ongoing. Items for convenience and for burden of disease and treatment were reversed (reversed score = 6 - item score), added together and rescaled on a 0-100 scale to obtain the convenience dimension score. Items for anticoagulant treatment satisfaction are summed and rescaled on a 0-100 scale to determine the satisfaction dimension score. High scores are more favorable. The two dimension scores are presented for Visit 2 (second assessment) and Visit 3 (last assessment) as mean and standard deviation (SD). Propensity score matching method is used to identify matched Pradaxa® and VKA patients. Only the matched patients in each treatment group are summarized and used for comparison.

Population: Eligible patients: All patients who took the prescribed treatment and without specific important protocol violations are eligible.

CHA2DS2-VASc stroke risk score is calculated based on the following conditions: Congestive heart failure, Hypertension, Age (≥ 75), Diabetes Mellitus, Stroke/ Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA), Vascular disease, Age 65-74, Sex category. HAS-BLED bleeding risk score is calculated based on the following conditions: Hypertension, Abnormal renal and Hypertension, Abnormal renal and liver function, Stroke (1 point), Bleeding history or predisposition, Labile INR, Elderly (\>65 years), Drugs and Alcohol. CHA2DS2-VASc stroke risk score may range from 0 to 9 with 0 being the best outcome. HAS-BLED bleeding risk score may range from 0 to 9 with 0 being the best outcome. CHA2DS2-VASc stroke risk score and HAS-BLED bleeding risk score at baseline are patient characteristics.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Visit 2 (7-124 days after initiation on Pradaxa® or VKA) and Visit 3 (125-365 days after initiation on Pradaxa® or VKA).

Population: Eligible patients: All patients who took the prescribed treatment and without specific important protocol violations are eligible. PACT-Q2 score obtained after discontinuation of treatment or using incorrect procedure was excluded from the summary for that particular visit.

The PACT-Q2 is composed of three dimensions covering: convenience (11 items), burden of disease and treatment (2 items), and anticoagulant treatment satisfaction (7 items). The PACT-Q2 was to be administered to patients once treatment was ongoing. Items for convenience and for burden of disease and treatment were reversed (reversed score = 6 - item score), added together and rescaled on a 0-100 scale to obtain the convenience dimension score. Items for anticoagulant treatment satisfaction are summed and rescaled on a 0-100 scale to determine the satisfaction dimension score. High scores are more favorable. The two dimension scores are presented for Visit 2 (second assessment) and Visit 3 (last assessment) as mean and standard deviation (SD).

Cohort A Pradaxa®
n=585 Participants
Patients with a diagnosis of non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), who were using Vitamin K antagonist (VKA) therapy for at least 3 months for stroke prevention before entering the study and were switched to Pradaxa®, received 110 or 150 milligram (mg) twice daily dose of Pradaxa® hard capsules containing Dabigatran etexilate (active ingredient: Dabigatran).
Cohort B VKA
Patients newly diagnosed with NVAF, not previously treated with an anticoagulant for the prevention of stroke, and initiated on VKA therapy. The choice of vitamin K antagonist and the appropriate dosing was at the discretion of the physician.
Cohort B VKA

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline

Population: Eligible patients: All patients who took the prescribed treatment and without specific important protocol violations are eligible. PACT-Q1 score at Visit 1 obtained after discontinuation of treatment or using incorrect procedure was excluded from the summary.

The PACT-Q1 is composed of a single dimension (7 items), covering the expectations of patients regarding their anticoagulant treatment, and was to be administered before treatment initiation. The 7 items are: A1: How confident are you that your anticoagulant treatment will prevent blood clots? A2: Do you expect that your anticoagulant treatment will relieve some of the symptoms you experience? A3: Do you expect that your anticoagulant treatment will cause side effects such as minor bruises or bleeding? A4: How important is it for you to have an anticoagulant treatment that is easy to take? A5: How concerned are you about making mistakes when taking your anticoagulant treatment? A6: How important is it for you to take care of your anticoagulant treatment by yourself? A7: How concerned are you about how much you pay for your anticoagulant treatment? Responses ranged from 1 (Not at all) to 5 (Extremely/ Completely/ Very much).
