Landmark study questions blood thinner use in Behçet's clots
NCT ID NCT06780462
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding blood thinners (anticoagulants) to standard steroid treatment is better than steroids alone for deep vein clots in people with Behçet's syndrome. About 134 adults with a first or repeat clot will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The goal is to see which approach prevents new clots and major bleeding more effectively over 6 months.
