The Long Term Multi-Center Observational Study of Dabigatran Treatment in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: (RELY-ABLE) Study

Clinical Trials Tuesday, June 18th, 2013

CIRCULATIONAHA:  June 14, 2013

Background—During follow up of between 1 and 3 years in the RE-LY trial, two doses of dabigatran etexilate were shown to be effective and safe for prevention of stroke or systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). There is a need for longer term follow up of patients on dabigatran and for further data comparing the two dabigatran doses.

Methods and Results—Patients randomized to dabigatran in RE-LY were eligible for RELY-ABLE if they had not permanently discontinued study medication at the time of their final RE-LY study visit. Enrolled patients continued to receive the double-blind dabigatran dose received in RE-LY, for up to 28 months of follow up after RE-LY (median follow up 2.3 years).   Read more
