NCT ID NCT05892042

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding the blood thinner rivaroxaban (Xarelto) to standard care helps dissolve dangerous blood clots in the heart after a major heart attack. Researchers will track 320 participants to see if the drug reduces strokes and other complications. The goal is to find a better way to manage these clots and improve recovery.

Rivaroxaban (Xarelto)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a clearer, safer treatment plan for dissolving dangerous heart clots after a heart attack, reducing stroke risk.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-stage study without a placebo control, so results may not be definitive. Bleeding risk from blood thinners is a known concern.
