Could tailored blood thinner dosing prevent strokes in chinese patients?
NCT ID NCT05378035
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how blood levels of common blood thinners (apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, and rivaroxaban) change over time in Chinese patients with atrial fibrillation. Researchers will take blood samples before and after stopping the medication for medical procedures. The goal is to understand why some patients may have higher risks of stroke or bleeding and to guide safer, more personalized treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- blood tests to measure levels of direct oral anticoagulants (apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, rivaroxaban)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to safer, more personalized dosing of blood thinners for Chinese patients with atrial fibrillation, reducing the risk of strokes and bleeding.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it will not directly test a new therapy. The findings may not apply to other ethnic groups or all patients.
