Blood test clues could transform AFib care – but study pulled
NCT ID NCT07565337
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to validate several blood biomarkers (like NT-proBNP and IL-6) to help doctors assess atrial fibrillation burden and track treatment effectiveness. Researchers planned to analyze samples from 266 patients before and after treatment. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no new insights were gained.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could help doctors use blood tests to better track atrial fibrillation and predict heart failure progression.
- What could go wrong
- The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. The findings may not apply to all patients with atrial fibrillation.

Who is studied
This study is a follow-up to the prospective generational study (AFTTER: Atrial Fibrillation Trial To Eliminate Risk-factors; NCT05718336) that enrolled patients from 2020 to 2023. After consenting to participate in this study, patients underwent a series of questionnaires, blood tests, and special examinations (see the figure below). The caregiver (the arrhythmia treatment team at National Taiwan University Hospital) formulated a treatment plan based on the examination results. After approximately two years (at least one year) of treatment, a post-test was conducted to conclude the study (a total of 343 patients were enrolled in this study, of which 266 participants completed the pre- and post-treatment tests and blood tests).
