Charcoal experiment to reverse blood thinners halted before it began
NCT ID NCT02969746
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to see if taking activated charcoal could help clear certain blood thinners (rivaroxaban, apixaban) faster in patients needing an urgent procedure. It planned to enroll 140 adults and measure how quickly the drug left their blood. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
