Study summary

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the reduced dose rivaroxaban (15 mg once daily) as compared to warfarin in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients with renal dysfunction in routine clinical practice. The study has a retrospective design, and will be conducted in the US Truven Health MarketScan Commercial Claims and Medicare Supplemental Databases

Study population

The source population of this study is all the insured individuals included in the US Truven Health MarketScan Commercial Claims and Medicare Supplemental Databases.To be included in the present study, adult patients have to be diagnosed with NVAF, have renal dysfunction and be newly-initiated on warfarin or rivaroxaban 15 mg for stroke prevention.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • have to be adults (≥18 years of age)
  • newly-initiated on warfarin or rivaroxaban 15 mg (index event, index drug)
  • have at least 365 days of continuous medical and prescription benefits prior to the index event (baseline period)
  • have at least two diagnosis codes for NVAF (on outpatient or inpatient claims, at two different days) and
  • have at least one diagnosis code (inpatient or outpatient) indicating renal dysfunction in the baseline period

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • valvular AF (at least one inpatient diagnosis in the baseline period)
  • pregnancy (inpatient or outpatient diagnosis in the baseline period)
  • transient cause of AF (inpatient or outpatient diagnosis in the baseline period)
  • venous thromboembolism (pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis) (one inpatient or outpatient diagnosis 60 days prior to or on the index date) or
  • overcame a hip or knee replacement (one inpatient diagnosis or procedure code 60 days prior to or on the index date)
  • have a pharmacy claim for an oral anticoagulation (OAC) dispensation (warfarin, apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban or rivaroxaban) in the baseline period
  • receive both warfarin and rivaroxaban 15 mg on the index date
  • have an end-stage kidney disease or be on dialysis (one inpatient or outpatient diagnosis or procedure code in the baseline period).

For the main analysis, patients having malignant cancers (inpatient or outpatient diagnosis in the baseline period) will be excluded. A sensitivity analysis, omitting this exclusion criterion, will be performed.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Ischemic stroke

    The study outcomes will be defined based on the International Classification of Diseases, 9th- and 10th-revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9/10-CM) diagnosis codes, Current Procedural Technology, 4th-revision (CPT-4) and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) procedure codes

    Time frame: Retrospective analysis from August 2011 to September 2017

  2. Intracranial hemorrhage

    The study outcomes will be defined based on ICD-9/10-CM diagnosis codes, CPT-4 and HCPCS procedure codes

    Time frame: Retrospective analysis from August 2011 to September 2017

  3. Bleeding-related hospitalization

    The study outcomes will be defined based on ICD-9/10-CM diagnosis codes, CPT-4 and HCPCS procedure codes, Cunningham algorithm

    Time frame: Retrospective analysis from August 2011 to September 2017

Secondary outcomes

  1. Composite endpoint, which is defined as the occurrence of ischemic stroke or intracranial hemorrhage

    The study outcomes will be defined based on ICD-9/10-CM diagnosis codes, CPT-4 and HCPCS procedure codes

    Time frame: Retrospective analysis from August 2011 to September 2017

  2. Progression to stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney failure or need for dialysis

    The study outcomes will be defined based on ICD-9/10-CM diagnosis codes, CPT-4 and HCPCS procedure codes

    Time frame: Retrospecitive analysis from August 2011 to September 2017

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 11, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
