Blood thinners in HHT: a risky balancing act under the microscope
NCT ID NCT05641142
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This study follows 100 adults with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) who start taking blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelets). Researchers compare the three months before treatment to the first three months on treatment, tracking bleeding events, iron levels, and need for transfusions or IV iron. The goal is to see how well patients tolerate these medications in real-world conditions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet therapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors understand how to safely use blood thinners in people with HHT, reducing bleeding risks while managing clotting needs.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all HHT patients, and bleeding risks remain.
