Brief summary
RIvaroxaban for Valvular heart diseasE and atRial fibrillation trial (RIVER trial).
Detailed description
A Phase 2, Randomized, Open label, Non-Inferiority Clinical Trial to Explore the Safety and Efficacy of Rivaroxaban compared with vitamin K antagonism in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation with Bioprosthetic Mitral valves - RIVER. Main analysis for the primary endpoint are based on the Restricted Mean Survival Time (RMST) method.
Interventions
DRUGRivaroxaban
Patients assigned to rivaroxaban will receive oral rivaroxaban, 20 mg od. Patients with a calculated creatinine clearance of 30 to 49 mL/min per 1.73 m2 received a reduced dose of rivaroxaban of 15 mg od.
DRUGWarfarin
Patients will take the warfarin once daily (q.d.). The individual doses will be titrated as needed to maintain a target INR of 2.0-3.0. Patients with 65 \> years old, should take warfarin (2,5mg/day) and all others patients should take 5mg/day.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Major Clinical Events | 12 months | Combined Endpoint of major clinical events as defined by strokes (CVA), transient ischemic attack (TIA), major bleeding, all-cause death, valve thrombosis and non-CNS systemic embolism, hospitalization due to cardiac failure. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Major bleeding | 12 months | Clinically overt bleeding associated with: fatal outcome, involving a critical site, or clinically overt bleeding associated with a fall in hemoglobin concentration of ≥2 g/dL, or leading to transfusion of ≥2 units of packed red blood cells or whole blood. |
| Combined endpoint of nonfatal stroke (CVA), transient ischemic attack (TIA), systemic embolism, valve thrombosis, venous thromboembolism and vascular causes death.thrombosis, and vascular death | 12 months | Stroke: sudden, focal neurologic deficit from a presumed cerebrovascular cause, not reversible within 24 hours and not due to na identifiable cause. Non-CNS systemic embolism: abrupt vascular insufficiency associated with clinical or radiologic evidence of arterial occlusion. Valve thrombosis: any thrombus attached to or near an implanted valve that occludes part of the blood flow, interferes with function or warrant treatment. Mortality: Deaths any cause. Venous thromboembolism: verification by definitive diagnostic evaluation. Deep Vein Thrombosis: abnormal compression ultrasound or intraluminal filling defect on venography or autopsy. Pulmonary embolism: at least one: 1) intraluminal filling defect on CT scan; 2) intraluminal filling defect on pulmonary angiogram; 3) high- probability on v/p lung scan; 4)inconclusive spiral CT, pulmonary image with demonstration of DVT in the lower extremities; 5) autopsy |
