Edoxaban Treatment in Routine Clinical Practice for Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation (NVAF)

Edoxaban was recently approved by The Thai Food and Drug Administration (Thai FDA) (date: 2nd December 2016) for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in adult patients with NVAF with one or more risk factors, such as congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 years, diabetes mellitus, prior stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) and prevention of recurrent DVT and PE in adults.

In order to understand the risks and benefits of edoxaban use in a real-world clinical setting in the NVAF indication, Daiichi-Sankyo Thailand proposed this non-interventional study (NIS) to gain insight into the safety (bleeding, liver adverse events, all-cause mortality and other adverse events) of edoxaban use in non-preselected patients with NVAF.

Real world evidence data of routine clinical practice use of edoxaban up to 2 years will be collected and evaluated in approximately 300 patients, treated by specialized as well as non-specialized physicians in hospital centres.
