Title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Parallel Group, Multi-Center, Multi-National Study for Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Edoxaban (DU-176b) Versus Warfarin In Subjects With Atrial Fibrillation - Effective Anticoagulation With Factor Xa Next Generation in Atrial Fibrillation (ENGAGE - AF TIMI - 48)
Brief Summary: This study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy profile, in two different dose regimens of Edoxaban (DU-176b), (an investigational new drug being tested for the prevention of stroke/systemic embolic events (SEE)), in individuals with atrial fibrillation. Patients will be randomized to one of three treatment groups: High Dose Regimen, Low Dose Regimen, \& Warfarin. The expected duration of the study is 24 months.


Options:
A: Inclusion criteria Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), at moderate to high risk of stroke, or systemic embolism with at least one additional risk factor (i.e. previous ischemic stroke, TIA, or systemic embolism, left ventricular dysfunction, age \>=75 years, age \>=65 with either diabetes mellitus, history of coronary artery disease or hypertension)

Exclusion criteria

1. Prosthetic heart valves requiring anticoagulation per se, or hemodynamically relevant valve disease that is expected to require surgical intervention during the course of the study
2. Severe, disabling stroke within the previous 6 months, or any stroke within the previous 14 days
3. Conditions associated with an increased risk of bleeding
4. Contraindication to warfarin treatment
5. Reversible causes of atrial fibrillation (e.g., cardiac surgery, pulmonary embolism, untreated hyperthyroidism).
6. Plan to perform a pulmonary vein ablation or surgery for cure of the AF
7. Severe renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance \<=30 mL/min)
8. Active infective endocarditis
9. Active liver disease
10. Women who are pregnant, lactating, or of childbearing potential who refuse to use a medically acceptable form of contraception throughout the study
11. Anaemia (haemoglobin \<100g/L) or thrombocytopenia (platelet count \<100 x 109/L)
12. Patients who have developed transaminase elevations upon exposure to ximelagatran
13. Patients who have received an investigational drug in the past 30 days or are participating in another drug study
14. Patients considered unreliable by the investigator concerning the requirements for follow-up during the study and/or compliance with study drug administration, has a life expectancy less than the expected duration of the trial due to concomitant disease, or has any condition which in the opinion of the investigator, would not allow safe participation in the study (e.g., drug addiction, alcohol abuse)
15. Any known hypersensitivity to galactose if the warfarin used contains galactose.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* 21 years of age or older; male or female.
* Able to provide written informed consent.
* History of documented AF within the prior 12 months
* A moderate to high risk of stroke, as defined by CHADS2 index score of at least 2

Exclusion Criteria:

* Transient atrial fibrillation secondary to other reversible disorders
* Subjects with moderate or severe mitral stenosis, unresected atrial myxoma, or a mechanical heart valve
* Subjects with any contraindication for anticoagulant agents;
* Subjects with conditions associated with high risk of bleeding or have known or suspected hereditary or acquired bleeding disorders
* Females of childbearing potential including the following:

  * Females with a history of tubal-ligation
  * Females less than 2 years post-menopausal
C: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease
2. informed consent by patients or relatives in case of missing capacity to consent due to health status

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients \<18 years
2. missing informed consent
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Males and females ≥ 18 yrs with atrial fibrillation (AF) and one or more of the following risk factors for stroke:
* Age ≥ 75, previous stroke
* transient ischemic attack (TIA) or Systemic Embolism (SE)
* Symptomatic congestive heart failure or left ventricular dysfunction with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤ 40%
* Diabetes mellitus or hypertension requiring pharmacological treatment

Answer: B
