New global registry tracks safety of common blood thinners in APS patients
NCT ID NCT04262492
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is creating a global registry of 500 adults with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) who are taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) like rivaroxaban or apixaban. Researchers will track rates of recurrent blood clots and bleeding over at least 6 months. The goal is to gather real-world safety information for this specific patient group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Direct oral anticoagulants (rivaroxaban, dabigatran, apixaban, edoxaban)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could provide clearer safety data on using DOACs in low-risk APS patients, potentially guiding future treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be limited by patient selection and real-world variability.
