Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban compared with placebo (inactive medication), in reducing the risk of death, myocardial infarction or stroke in participants with heart failure and significant coronary artery disease following an episode of decompensated heart failure.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Heart Failure Coronary Artery Disease Drug: Rivaroxaban Drug: Placebo Other: Standard of care for heart failure and coronary artery disease Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This is a randomized (the study medication is assigned by chance), double-blind (neither physician nor participant knows the identity of the assigned treatment), parallel group (each participant group receives different treatments simultaneously), event driven (the study duration is determined by the time taken for a specific number of events to occur), multicenter study to assess the effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban compared with placebo, in reducing the risk of death, myocardial infarction or stroke in participants with heart failure and significant coronary artery disease following an episode of decompensated heart failure. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either rivaroxaban or placebo (each in addition to standard of care for heart failure and coronary artery disease as prescribed by their managing physician). The study will consist of a screening phase, a double-blind treatment phase, and a follow-up after the sponsor-announced global treatment end date (GTED, defined as the date when 1200 primary efficacy outcome events are predicted to have occurred). The double-blind treatment phase is estimated to last for 6 to 54 months. Participants will discontinue study drug after taking both their morning and evening doses on the GTED and will return to the study center for the end-of-study visit (between 15 and 45 days but no sooner than 15 days after the GTED). Patient safety will be monitored throughout the study. The average study duration for participants is expected to be approximately 29 months. The study drug, rivaroxaban, is approved in the United States and in multiple countries around the world for the prevention and treatment of a number of thrombosis-mediated conditions.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Event Rate of All-Cause Mortality, Myocardial Infarction (MI), or Stroke [ Time Frame: Up to Global treatment end date (approximately 54 months) ]
    Event Rate of all-cause mortality (ACM), MI, or stroke were assessed. Event rate estimated based on the time to the first occurrence of the event were reported in the study. Event Rate / (100 patient [pt]-year [yr]) = 100*n/(total risk exposure), where n is the number of events.

  2. Event Rate of Either Fatal Bleeding or Bleeding Into a Critical Space With Potential for Permanent Disability [ Time Frame: Up to 227 Weeks ]
    Event rate of either fatal bleeding or bleeding into critical space with potential for permanent disability were assessed. Fatal bleeding event was death within 7 days after a bleeding event which required hospitalization or met International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis(ISTH) major bleeding definition criteria. Fatal bleeding events included those met criteria in 3 categories: 1: Any ISTH major bleeding event consider primary cause of death by investigator; 2: Any ISTH major bleeding event not considered to be primary cause of death by investigator but resulted in death within 7 days;3: Any bleeding event resulted in hospital stay and death within 7 days. Bleeding into critical space with potential for permanent disability included 7 critical spaces: intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular. Event rate estimated based on time to first occurrence of event were reported in the study. Event Rate / (100 pt-yr) = 100*n/(total risk exposure), where n is the number of events.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Event Rate of Cardio Vascular Death or Re-Hospitalization for Worsening of Heart Failure (RHHF) [ Time Frame: Up to Global treatment end date (approximately 54 months) ]
    Event rate of cardio vascular (CV) death or re-hospitalization for worsening of heart failure were assessed. Event rate estimated based on the time to the first occurrence of the event were reported in the study. Event Rate / (100 pt-yr) = 100*n/(total risk exposure), where n is the number of events.

  2. Event Rate of Cardio Vascular Death [ Time Frame: Up to Global treatment end date (approximately 54 months) ]
    Event rate of cardio vascular death were assessed. CV death included deaths due to spontaneous bleeding, MI, stroke, worsening HF and arrhythmias, death due to CV procedures and sudden death. Event rate estimated based on the time to the first occurrence of the event were reported in the study. Event Rate / (100 pt-yr) = 100*n/(total risk exposure), where n is the number of events.

  3. Event Rate of Re-Hospitalization for Worsening of Heart Failure [ Time Frame: Up to Global treatment end date (approximately 54 months) ]
    Event rate of re-hospitalization for worsening of heart failure were assessed. Event rate estimated based on the time to the first occurrence of the event were reported in the study. Event Rate / (100 pt-yr) = 100*n/(total risk exposure), where n is the number of events.

  4. Event Rate of Re-Hospitalization for Cardio Vascular Events (RHCV) [ Time Frame: Up to Global treatment end date (approximately 54 months) ]
    Event rate due to cardio vascular events were assessed. Hospitalization for a CV Event required that participants be hospitalized (in-patient or emergency department) for greater than 24 hours and must have met the following criterion:Discharge summary with primary reason for admission listed as CV in nature (example, bleeding, arrhythmia, ACS, MI) other than HF which was captured in the HF re-hospitalization. Event rate estimated based on the time to the first occurrence of the event were reported in the study. Event Rate / (100 pt-yr) = 100*n/(total risk exposure), where n is the number of events.

  5. Event Rate of All-Cause Mortality (ACM) or Re-Hospitalization for Worsening Heart Failure [ Time Frame: Up to Global treatment end date (approximately 54 months) ]
    Event rate of all-Cause Mortality (ACM) or re-Hospitalization for worsening heart failure were assessed. Event rate estimated based on the time to the first occurrence of the event were reported in the study. Event Rate / (100 pt-yr) = 100*n/(total risk exposure), where n is the number of events.

  6. Event Rate of Bleeding Events That Requiring Hospitalization [ Time Frame: Up to 227 Weeks ]
    Event rate of bleeding events and required Hospitalization were assessed. Event rate estimated based on the time to the first occurrence of the event were reported in the study. Event Rate / (100 pt-yr) = 100*n/(total risk exposure), where n is the number of events.

  7. Event Rate of International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) Major Bleeding Event [ Time Frame: Up to 227 Weeks ]
    Event rate of ISTH major bleeding event were assessed. Event rate estimated based on the time to the first occurrence of the event were reported in the study. Event Rate / (100 pt-yr) = 100*n/(total risk exposure), where n is the number of events.
