Specific Anti Factor Xa Activity Dosage to Enhance Detection of Nonadherence in Atrial Fibrillation Patients
150 participantsStarted 2016-11-27
Plain-language summary
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC), an inhibitor of factor IIa (dabigatran) or factor Xa inhibitors (rivaroxaban, apixaban) are an alternative to treatment with warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) non-valvular .
These molecules have demonstrated non-inferiority compared to warfarin standard treatment for the prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with non-valvular AF at high risk thomboembolique (Score CHA2DS2-VASc ≥1). These molecules have a constant biological effectiveness does not require laboratory monitoring in clinical practice, unlike AVK whose use requires, because of their variability action intra- and inter-individual, a constant dose adjustment based on 'Nationalized Index Ratio (INR).
The objective of this study is to evaluate the interest of specific dosage of anti-activated factor X activity (Xa) in the identification of non-observing treating patients with Factor Xa inhibitor in patients with non-FA valvular

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
