Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine whether edoxaban (60/30 mg daily) compared to non-anticoagulant medical therapy (either no antithrombotic therapy or antiplatelet monotherapy) reduces the risk of stroke (composite of ischemic, hemorrhagic and unspecified stroke) in high-risk atrial fibrillation (CHA2DS2-VASc score =2) patients with previous intracranial hemorrhage.;Secondary Objective: i) To assess whether edoxaban (60/30 mg daily) compared to non-anticoagulant medical therapy (either no antithrombotic therapy or antiplatelet monotherapy) reduces the risk of cardiovascular death in high-risk atrial fibrillation participants with previous intracranial hemorrhage. ii) To assess whether edoxaban (60/30 mg daily) is associated with increased risk of major hemorrhage compared to standard of care (either no antithrombotic therapy or antiplatelet monotherapy). ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy end point is stroke (composite of ischemic, hemorrhagic and unspecified). The primary safety endpoint is major hemorrhage as defined by the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) criteria ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Participants will be followed every 6 months until the common study end date. This trial is event driven to accrue 123 primary events, anticipated one year after the end of the recruitment. Follow up is anticipated to be an average of 24 months per participant (range 1 to 3 years). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): The secondary efficacy end points are: 1. Ischemic stroke 2. Cardiovascular death 3. Hemorrhagic stroke 4. Disabling/fatal stroke 5. Composite of all stroke, myocardial infarction, systemic thromboembolism or all-cause death 6. Net clinical benefit (composite of stroke, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death, fatal bleeding, and symptomatic bleeding into a critical organ or area) 7. Modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 12 months The secondary safety end point(s) are: 1. All intracranial hemorrhage (intracerebral hemorrhage, intraventricular hemorrhage, subdural hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage) 2. Fatal intracranial hemorrhage 3. Subdural hemorrhage 4. Hospitalization for any cause ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Timepoints of evaluation will be every 6 months until the common study end date. Follow up is anticipated to be an average of 24 months per participant (range 1 to 3 years). | — |
