Study information

Study designRandomised, active controlled, parallel group trial
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeNot Specified
Scientific title
Study objectivesLong acting coumarin derivatives can reach a more stable anticoagulant effect. Short acting coumarins are more easy to adjust. The half-life of warfarin lies between the half-life of acenocoumarol and phenprocoumon and can thereby possibly have the advantage of long acting coumarins as well as the advantage of short acting coumarins.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAnticoagulant treatment
Intervention1. Treatment group: oral anticoagulant treatment with warfarin
2. Control group: oral anticoagulant treatment with phenprocoumon
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Phenprocoumon, warfarin
Primary outcome measureTime spent within therapeutic range, time to the first international normalised ratio (INR) in range, percentage of INRs above range after initiation scheme, reaction of INR to interruption of coumarin or vitamin K administration.
Secondary outcome measures1. Bleeding complications
2. Thrombotic complications
