Kidney dialysis patients: new study tests blood thinner safety
NCT ID NCT04006093
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a single 5 mg dose of the blood thinner apixaban is processed in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on peritoneal dialysis, compared to people with normal kidney function. Researchers measured drug levels in the blood over time. The goal is to understand if dosing adjustments are needed for this group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- apixaban (a blood thinner)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors determine safe and effective dosing of apixaban for people on peritoneal dialysis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It looks at drug levels, not clinical outcomes like bleeding or clotting.
