Who may be able to join
AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- People who are 18 years of age or older (but not older than 85)
- People who have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat condition), whether it comes and goes, has lasted a while, or has been ongoing for a long time
- People whose heart was successfully returned to a normal rhythm during an ablation procedure (a treatment that uses heat, laser, or cold energy to correct the irregular heartbeat), with no return of the irregular heartbeat within 3 months after the procedure
- People who had no complications during or immediately after their ablation procedure
- People who have signed a consent form agreeing to participate in the study
- Men who have a stroke risk score of 1 or higher, or women who have a stroke risk score of 2 or higher, based on a standard medical scoring system (confirm with trial site)
Who may not be able to join:
- People whose atrial fibrillation is caused by a significant heart valve problem, specifically a moderate-to-severe leaky mitral valve or a narrowed mitral valve with elevated pressure readings
- People whose atrial fibrillation is caused by a treatable underlying condition, such as an overactive thyroid that is not yet under control
- People who have previously had any type of ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation, including surgery
- People who have previously had a procedure to close off, tie off, or remove the left atrial appendage (a small pouch in the heart)
- People who are having a surgical ablation at the same time as this study
- People whose left chamber of the heart (left atrium) is larger than 50mm in size (confirm with trial site)
- People who have a blood clot in the left side of the heart
- People who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Women of childbearing age who are unwilling to use a highly effective form of contraception for the duration of the study
- People who need to take blood thinners long-term for a reason other than atrial fibrillation, such as a blood clot in the lungs, a clot in the heart, or clots in other blood vessels
- People who have recently had a heart attack, have severe heart failure, have a small natural hole between the upper chambers of the heart (patent foramen ovale), have recently experienced a significant injury, or have other conditions that increase the risk of blood clots
- People with certain additional stroke risk factors unrelated to their atrial fibrillation, including a known blood clotting disorder, uncontrolled high blood pressure (above 180/100 mmHg within 4 days of enrolling), an untreated inherited high cholesterol condition, a known blood vessel abnormality in the brain, or known severe narrowing of the neck arteries
- People who have a high risk of bleeding that would make taking blood thinners unsafe, such as a bleeding disorder, a significant stomach or bowel bleed in the past 6 months, or a history of bleeding in the brain or eyes
- People who have any other reason they cannot safely take blood thinners or anti-platelet medications
- People who have taken certain specific medications that strongly interact with the study drug within 4 days of enrolling (confirm with trial site for the specific medications involved)
- People who have a structural heart defect present from birth
- People who have had a stroke or bleeding in the brain within the past 6 months
- People who, in the opinion of their doctor, are unable to fully understand the study or follow up with the required visits — including people with certain mental health conditions or ongoing drug or alcohol dependency (more than 8 alcoholic drinks per week)
- People who are critically unwell or whose life expectancy is less than 3 years
- People who are unwilling or unable to provide consent to participate
- People who are already enrolled in another clinical trial that involves randomisation or requires insurance coverage
