A Prospective, Randomized, Open-label, Parallel-group, Active-controlled, Multicenter Study Exploring the Efficacy and Safety of Once-daily Oral Rivaroxaban (BAY59-7939) Compared With That of Dose-adjusted Oral Vitamin K Antagonists (VKA) for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Subjects With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Scheduled for Cardioversion
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Rivaroxaban (Xarelto, BAY59-7939) and Vitamin K antagonist (VKA) for Atrial Fibrillation. Completed, enrolled 1,504 participants across 178 sites in 17 countries.
Detailed Summary
A study for patients with abnormal heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation) who need to undergo cardioversion (procedure to restore normal heart rhythm). The study will compare patients assigned randomly (like flipping a coin) to either Rivaroxaban or vitamin K antagonist (VKA). The study will measure common medical outcomes for this type of patient such as bleeding and stroke.

Interventions
Rivaroxaban 20 mg orally once daily; subjects with moderate renal impairment (ie, CrCl of 30 to 49 mL/min, inclusive) will receive the adjusted dose of 15 mg orally once daily in the study
VKA orally once daily titrated to a target international normalized ratio (INR) of 2.5 (range 2.0-3.0, inclusive); the VKA type (eg, warfarin, acenocoumarol, phenprocoumon, fluindione, etc) will be assigned by the investigator according to local treatment standards
