Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Recurrence of Atrial Tachyarrhythmia
Assessed during 21 month follow-up period

Recurrence of electrocardiographically documented atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter or atrial tachycardia lasting \>30 seconds during Follow-up Period. The follow-up period begins 90 days after randomization (the blanking period during which antiarrhythmic drugs are titrated or catheter ablation is performed).

Comparison of Proportion of Patients With an Occurrence of Any of a Cluster of Serious Complications in Either Arm
Assessed during entire 24 month study period

Ablation arm cluster: death, cardiac tamponade, severe PV stenosis\>70%, atrioesophageal fistula, thromboembolism, vascular complications (i.e. arterial pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula and hematoma leading to transfusion), phrenic nerve injury or complete AV block requiring permanent pacemaker implantation. Antiarrhythmic drug arm cluster: Death, torsade de pointes, bradycardia leading to pacemaker insertion, syncope, QRS duration prolongation \> 50% of baseline, 1:1 atrial flutter or any other significant adverse events that leads to drug discontinuation.

Secondary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Recurrence of Symptomatic Atrial Tachyarrhythmia
21 months of follow-up

Frequently asked questions about Conventional Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy

What is Conventional Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy used for in Atrial Fibrillation?

Conventional Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy is used for the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation. It is a small molecule therapy being developed by Johnson & Johnson. The therapy is currently in Phase 3 clinical development as an investigational treatment for this condition.

Who makes Conventional Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy?

Conventional Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy is being developed by Johnson & Johnson, which is listed on the stock exchange under the ticker JNJ. The therapy is a small molecule intended for the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation and is currently in Phase 3 clinical development.

What phase is Conventional Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy in?

Conventional Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational therapy for Atrial Fibrillation and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The therapy is being studied in a completed Phase 3 clinical trial.

What clinical trials is Conventional Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy in?

Conventional Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy has one completed clinical trial, identified as NCT00392054. This Phase 3 trial, titled 'First Line Radiofrequency Ablation Versus Antiarrhythmic Drugs for Atrial Fibrillation Treatment (The RAAFT Study)', enrolled 127 participants with Atrial Fibrillation across the United States, Canada, Czechia, Germany, and Italy.

Is Conventional Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy the same as antiarrhythmic drugs used in the RAAFT study?

Yes, Conventional Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy refers to the antiarrhythmic drug arm in the RAAFT study (NCT00392054). This Phase 3 trial compared first-line radiofrequency ablation with antiarrhythmic drugs for the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation, and the therapy is being developed by Johnson & Johnson.
