Can a lower dose of rivaroxaban be safer for kidney patients on dialysis?
NCT ID NCT05410275
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing three different low doses of the blood thinner rivaroxaban in 10 adults on chronic hemodialysis. The goal is to see how the drug behaves in the body and how much it thins the blood, to find a dose that might lower bleeding risks. Participants will take each dose for three days, and researchers will measure drug levels and clotting activity.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- rivaroxaban
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help determine a safer dose of rivaroxaban for dialysis patients who need blood thinners, potentially reducing bleeding risks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early-phase study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The drug may still cause bleeding or not work as expected.
