Pradaxa Study in Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients With Severely Impaired Renal Function

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2015-10-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The goal of this study is to assess dabigatran pharmacokinetics in NVAF subjects with severe renal impairment defined as creatinine clearance between 15 and 30 mL/min calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula.

The dabigatran etexilate dose of 75 mg BID was approved by the FDA for NVAF patients with severe renal impairment (CrCl 15-30 mL/min) , based on pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation.

• Phase: Phase 4
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Boehringer Ingelheim
• Treatments: Dabigatran

Criteria

Inclusion criteria:

• Subjects diagnosed with non-valvular atrial fibrillation with an indication for the anticoagulation therapy,

• Subjects with severe renal function impairment defined as creatinine clearance between 15 and 30 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault formula,

• Male and female patients, age =18 years at entry

Exclusion criteria:

• Contraindications to Pradaxa (history of a serious hypersensitivity reaction to Pradaxa, active pathological bleeding, patients with mechanical prosthetic heart valve),

• Creatinine clearance <15ml/min or patients with End Stage Renal Disease on dialysis,

• Patients who have participated in another drug study within 6 weeks,

• Patients considered unreliable by the investigator concerning the requirements for participating in the study, including a follow-up interview,

• Any condition the investigator believes would not allow safe participation in the study,
