NCT00249795

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine if Irbesartan compared to Placebo would reduce the risk of vascular events such as heart attack, stroke, non-cerebral thromboembolic event and death in patients with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and with at least one major risk of vascular events.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • First Occurence of Any Component of the Composite of Myocardial Infarction, Stroke or Vascular Death as Per Adjudication

    The first co-primary event is the first occurence of any component of the following cluster over the duration of follow-up: myocardial infarction (nonfatal or fatal), stroke (nonfatal or fatal) or vascular death - after validation by the Event Adjudication Committee (EAC).

    Median follow-up of 4.5 years

  • First Occurence of Any Component of the Composite of Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, Vascular Death or Hospitalization for Heart Failure as Per Adjudication

    The second co-primary event is the first occurence of any component of the following cluster over the duration of follow-up: myocardial infarction (nonfatal or fatal), stroke (nonfatal or fatal), vascular death or hospitalization for heart failure - after validation by the EAC.

    Median follow-up of 4.5 years

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • First Occurrence of Stroke

    Median follow-up of 4.5 years

  • Death From Any Cause

    Median follow-up of 4.5 years

  • First Occurrence of Any Heart Failure (HF) Episode

    Median follow-up of 4.5 years

  • First Hospitalisation for Heart Failure (HF)

    Median follow-up of 4.5 years

  • First Hospitalisation for Other Cardiovascular (CV) Cause

    Median follow-up of 4.5 years

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Should fulfill the eligibility criteria for ACTIVE A or ACTIVE W trial and:
  • have a systolic blood pressure of at least 110 mmHg
  • not already receiving an angiotensin receptor blocking agent, unless they are willing and able to be changed to another antihypertensive agent
  • no previous intolerance to angiotensin receptor blocking agents
  • no proven indication for angiotensin receptor blocking agents, unless an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor can be substituted

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients will be excluded from ACTIVE study if any of the following are present:
  • requirement for clopidogrel (such as recent coronary stent procedure)
  • requirement for oral anticoagulant (such as prosthetic mechanical heart valve)
  • prior intolerance to acetylsalicyclic acid (ASA) or clopidogrel
  • documented peptic ulcer disease within the previous 6 months
  • prior intracerebral hemorrhage
  • significant thrombocytopenia (platelet count \<50 x 10(9)/L)
  • psychosocial reason making study participation impractical
  • geographic reason making study participation impractical
  • ongoing alcohol abuse
  • mitral stenosis
  • pregnant or nursing woman or woman of child bearing potential and not on effective birth control for at least one month prior to start of study or not willing to continue on birth control for duration of study
  • severe comorbid condition such that the patient is not expected to survive 6 months
  • patient currently receiving an investigational pharmacologic agent
  • requirement for chronic (\> 3 months) non-cyclooxygenase-2 (non-COX-2) inhibitor nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy unless willing enrolled in ACTIVE A
