Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
|
Inclusion criteria: •Inclusion criteria at screening: - Male or female adult aged 18 years or more, - Patient with persistent AF for more than 72 hours (documented by an ECG taken within the last 72 hours) for whom cardioversion, anti-arrhythmic treatment and anticoagulation treatment are indicated in the opinion of the Investigator (Note: patient may already be on anticoagulation treatment), - Naive of amiodarone treatment in the last three months prior to screening, - QTcB < 500 ms on 12-lead ECG, - Patient with at least one cardiovascular risk factor (i.e. age > 70, hypertension, diabetes, prior cerebrovascular disease, left atrial diameter = 50 mm - Signed written informed consent.
•Inclusion Criteria: to be checked at randomization - Outpatient and Inpatient. (except patients hospitalized during screening period for SAE). - Patient in sinus rhythm (Note: if cardioversion is performed on Day 1 prior to randomization, then the patient must be in sinus rhythm for at least one hour before randomization), - Patient under effective anticoagulation according to ACC/AHA/ESC AF treatment guidelines [18] verified by INR (target > 2). INR should be closely monitored after initiating dronedarone in patients taking vitamin K antagonist as per their label - QTcB < 500 ms and PR < 280 ms on 12-lead ECG, - Patient having received 28 days ± 2 days of amiodarone.
Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Exclusion criteria: •Exclusion criteria at screening: - Contraindication to oral anticoagulation, - Any documented AF episode motivating inclusion in the study after an acute condition known to cause AF (e.g. alcohol intake, thyrotoxicosis, acute infection, pericarditis, pulmonary embolism, cardiac surgery), - Patient with permanent AF defined as patients with an AF duration = 6 months (or duration unknown) and attempts to restore sinus rhythm no longer considered by the physician. - Patient with paroxysmal AF in whom cardioversion is not indicated, - Bradycardia < 50 beats per minute (bpm) at rest on the 12-lead ECG, - Clinically overt congestive heart failure: o with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III and IV heart failure, o with LVEF < 35%, o or NYHA class II with a recent decompensation requiring hospitalization or referral to a specialized heart failure clinic, o as well any patient in unstable hemodynamic conditions. - Women of childbearing potential without adequate birth control (e.g. oral contraception or intra-uterine device [IUD]) or not menopaused, not sterile or not hysterectomized, - Pregnant women, - Breastfeeding women, - Previous (2 preceding months) or current participation in another clinical trial with an investigational drug or with an investigational device, - Clinically relevant hematologic, underlying hepatobiliary disease, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, endocrinologic, psychiatric, neurological or dermatological disease, - Severe hepatic impairment, - Severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min), - Serum potassium <3.5 millimol/liter (mmol/L) (in patients with hypokalemia, potassium deficiency must be corrected before randomization) or > 5.5 mmol/l, - Magnesemia < 0.8 mml/l (in patient with hypo-magnesemia, magnesium deficiency must be corrected before randomization), - Unstable angina pectoris (ischemic symptoms during the last 7 days) or recent myocardial infarction (MI) (< 6 weeks), - First degree family history of sudden cardiac death below age 50 years in the absence of coronary heart disease, - Second- or third- degree Atrio-Ventricular block or sick sinus syndrome (except when used in conjunction with a functioning pacemaker), - Ongoing potentially severe symptoms when in AF such as angina pectoris, transient ischemic attacks, stroke, syncope, as judged by the investigator, - Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, - Previous ablation for atrial fibrillation or any planned ablation in the next following 2 months.
•Exclusion criteria to be checked at randomization - Bradycardia < 50 bpm on the 12-lead ECG before randomization, - Clinically overt congestive heart failure: o with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III and IV heart failure, o with LVEF < 35%, o or NYHA class II with a recent decompensation requiring hospitalization or referral to a specialized heart failure clinic, o as well any patients in unstable hemodynamic conditions. - Serum potassium <3.5 millimol/liter (mmol/L) (in patients with hypokalemia, potassium deficiency must have been corrected before randomization) or > 5.5 mmol/l, - Magnesemia < 0.8 mml/l (in patient with hypo-magnesemia, magnesium deficiency must have been corrected before randomization) - Women of childbearing potential without adequate birth control (e.g. oral contraception or intra-uterine device [IUD]) or not menopaused, not sterile or not hysterectomized,
