AFNET terminates NOAH – AFNET 6 trial ahead of time
The NOAH – AFNET 6 trial which is conducted to evaluate the potential benefit of oral anticoagulation in patients with atrial high rate episodes (AHRE) is going to be terminated prematurely. The reason for early termination is an observed trend towards futility for efficacy combined with expected safety concerns. Following a recommendation of the study scientific committees, on 2 September 2022, AFNET decided to orderly terminate the NOAH – AFNET6 trial in the coming weeks. The study results will be available next year.
