ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryCardiovascular Hospitalization or DeathEvaluated through 12 months from randomization
First occurrence of unplanned CV hospitalization or death from any cause within 12 months of randomization. All unplanned hospitalizations (i.e. admission with an overnight stay in an acute care healthcare facility/hospital) for cardiovascular causes will be considered a cardiovascular hospitalization.
SecondaryWin RatioEvaluated through 12 months from randomization
Among the randomized patients, every patient in the dronedarone arm will be compared with every patient in the usual care arm. Within each pair of patients, the component outcomes will be compared in descending order of importance until one of the patients in the pair demonstrates a better outcome compared with the other. For the purpose of this trial the hierarchy of component outcomes are shown below. The components in the WIN ratio hierarchy are similar to the endpoints considered in the recent EAST AFNET4 trial. Hierarchy of Outcomes for the WIN Ratio: 1. All-cause mortality 2. Ischemic stroke or systemic embolism 3. Hospitalization for new/worsening diagnosis of heart failure 4. Hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome
SecondaryAll-cause mortalityEvaluated through 12 months from randomization
For descriptive purposes, deaths will be categorized by the site investigators according to the following categories: cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular. Cardiovascular deaths will be further classified into arrhythmic vs non-arrhythmic according the modified Hinkle-Thaler criteria, as used in several landmark cardiovascular trials. Patients who are well and (1) have a witnessed sudden collapse or (2) those found dead, but known to be alive and well in the previous 24 hours (e.g. no signs or symptoms of cardiorespiratory distress) will be defined as having arrhythmic death.
SecondaryIschemic stroke or systemic embolismEvaluated through 12 months from randomization
The occurrence of ischemic stroke will be defined as an acute episode of focal or global neurological dysfunction caused by brain, spinal cord, or retinal vascular injury as a result of hemorrhage or infarction. Symptoms or signs must persist ≥24 hours, unless the stroke is documented by CT, MRI or autopsy, in which case the duration of symptoms/signs may be less than 24 hours. Stroke may be classified as ischemic (including hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic stroke), hemorrhagic, or undetermined. Systemic embolism will be defined as acute arterial insufficiency or occlusion of the extremities or any non-CNS organ associated with clinical, imaging, surgical/autopsy evidence of arterial occlusion in the absence of other likely mechanism (e.g., trauma, atherosclerosis, or instrumentation).
SecondaryHospitalization for new/worsening diagnosis of heart failureEvaluated through 12 months from randomization
Hospitalization for new or worsening heart failure will be defined as any unplanned hospitalization (i.e. admission with an overnight stay in an acute care healthcare facility/hospital) due to a new diagnosis or worsening symptomatic heart failure
SecondaryHospitalization for acute coronary syndromeEvaluated through 12 months from randomizationAny hospitalization (i.e. admission with an overnight stay in an acute care healthcare facility/hospital) due to acute coronary syndrome.
SecondaryTime to first unplanned cardiovascular hospitalizationEvaluated through 12 months from randomization
Given the importance of CV hospitalization as an outcome from a clinical perspective, patient perspective, and economic perspective, there will be two analyses of CV hospitalization. The key secondary endpoint will be time to first unplanned CV hospitalization (similar to the component of the primary endpoint).
SecondaryUnplanned cardiovascular hospitalizations--secondary analysis using Anderson-Gill extensionEvaluated through 12 months from randomization
Given the importance of CV hospitalization as an outcome from a clinical perspective, patient perspective, and economic perspective, there will be two analyses of CV hospitalization. The second exploratory analysis of unplanned cardiovascular hospitalization will use a method to account for repeated events (Anderson-Gill extension).
OtherAny unplanned arrhythmia-related hospitalizationEvaluated through 12 months from randomization
Arrhythmia-Related Hospitalization will be defined as any unplanned hospitalization (i.e. admission with an overnight stay in an acute care healthcare facility/hospital) due to any tachy or brady-arrhythmia.
OtherNumber of participants who experience AF progressionEvaluated through 12 months from randomizationAF Progression will be defined as the transition from (a) paroxysmal to persistent or (b) persistent to permanent AF.
OtherNumber of participants who undergo cardioversion (pharmacologic or electrical)Evaluated through 12 months from randomizationCardioversion (either pharmacologic or electrical) with or without transesophageal echocardiographic guidance will be a tertiary endpoint.
OtherNumber of participants who have ablation of AF (catheter, surgical or hybrid) performedEvaluated through 12 months from randomizationAblation of AF including catheter ablation, surgical ablation, or hybrid (endocardial and epicardial ablation) ablation will be a tertiary endpoint.
OtherDays alive and outside of the hospitalEvaluated through 12 months from randomization
Days Alive and Out of the Hospital. Days alive and out of the hospital (DAOH, also referred to as "home time") is an emerging clinical trial endpoint that is both pragmatic and patient centered. It is highly correlated with traditional time-to-event mortality and hospitalization outcomes.
OtherPatient-Reported Quality of Life--AFEQTAt baseline and 12 months
The AFEQT is a 21-item, AF-specific health-related QOL questionnaire that assesses the impact of AF on patient-reported quality of life. The AFEQT includes a summary score (calculated from 18 of the questions) and subscale scores in three domains: symptoms, daily activities, and treatment concern. The summary and subscale scores range from 0 (corresponds to complete AF-related disability) to 100 (no AF-related disability). A change of 5 or more points in the AFEQT has been identified as a benchmark for a clinically meaningful difference in an individual patient.
OtherPatient-Reported Quality of Life--MAFSIAt baseline and 12 months
The MAFSI was developed as a modification and update of the AF Symptom Checklist. The trial will use a modified MAFSI questionnaire comprised of a 10-item AF symptom checklist that asks about frequency and severity of each symptom. Frequency of symptoms is recorded as 0 (never), 1 (rarely), 2 (sometimes), 3 (often), or 4 (always). These responses are summed for a total Frequency Score that ranges from 0 (no AF symptoms) to 40 (worst score). MAFSI Severity Scores are recorded as 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), or 3 (extreme). Severity scores are summed and range from 0 (no AF symptoms) to 30 (most severe AF symptoms). A clinically meaningful change in the MAFSI has not previously been established and therefore will be considered to be about ¼ of the pooled baseline standard deviation (SD), or 1.6 points for the Frequency Score and 1.3 points for the Severity Score.
