Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

LA Fibrosis
baseline, 1 year

The change in left atrial fibrosis percentage, as measured on a scale, using MRI imaging, from baseline to the end of treatment.

Treatment Failure
minimum study duration is 6 months (+10 days); maximum is 15 months

The primary event is the treatment failure defined as the first recurrence of atrial fibrillation or premature study drug discontinuation for intolerance or lack of efficacy according to the investigator judgement. The primary efficacy analysis is performed on the time from first study drug intake to this primary event. The "Measured Values" table below presents the numbers of patients with the event at the end of the study period.

First Hospitalization for Cardiovascular Reason or Death From Any Cause
minimum follow-up duration: 1 year ; maximum: 2.5 years

The primary event is the first hospitalization for cardiovascular reason or death from any cause, whichever is earlier, as assessed by the investigator. The primary efficacy analysis is performed on the time from randomization to this primary event. The Measured Values table below presents the numbers of patients with the event at the end of the study period.

Change from baseline in mean ventricular rate at rest and during exercise
Day 14
The primary endpoint of the study is the time from randomisation to first documented AF/AFL recurrence
Change from baseline in mean ventricular rate measured by 24-hour Holter Electrocardiogram (ECG)

Frequently asked questions about DRONEDARONE

What is Dronedarone used for?

Dronedarone is a small molecule cardiovascular drug being developed by Sanofi for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development and is being studied to prevent hospitalization or death in patients with these conditions.

What does Dronedarone target?

Dronedarone is a small molecule antiarrhythmic agent. Its mechanism of action involves multiple ion channel and receptor targets, though the specific molecular target is not detailed here. It is being studied for its effects on heart rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Who makes Dronedarone?

Dronedarone is being developed by Sanofi, a global pharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol SNY. Sanofi is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in treating atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter.

What phase is Dronedarone in?

Dronedarone is currently in Phase 3 clinical development. It has completed seven clinical trials with a total enrollment of 6,764 participants. All completed trials were randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled, though the drug is still investigational and not yet approved.

What clinical trials is Dronedarone in?

Dronedarone has been studied in several completed clinical trials. Notable ones include NCT00174785, a Phase 3 trial with 4,628 patients evaluating prevention of hospitalization or death in atrial fibrillation, and NCT00259428, a Phase 3 trial with 615 patients studying maintenance of sinus rhythm. Both trials were completed.

Is Dronedarone the same as Multaq?

Dronedarone is also known by the brand name Multaq. It is a small molecule drug developed by Sanofi for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. The drug has been studied in multiple Phase 3 clinical trials to assess its ability to reduce cardiovascular hospitalization and maintain normal heart rhythm.
