Overview
Factors Affecting Time in Therapeutic Range (TTR)
Cross trial comparisons of TTR are hampered by variations in:
CHADS Score
A higher CHADS score is associated with a lower TTR. Sicker patients may have reduced access to frequent testing.
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
The presence of congestive heart failure Varying drug clearance and distribution (CHF: 63% in ROCKET, 32% RELY, 35% ARISTOTLE)
• Country: Highest in Scandanavia, lowest in developing countries
• What is the TTR in ROCKET AF in those countries who conducted RE-LY and vice versa (adjusting for the number of sites in each country)?
• Should trials only be conducted in countries with a high TTR or should sponsors conduct real world trials throughout the world?
