First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study looks at whether switching to a blood thinner called dabigatran can help people with a serious staph bloodstream infection. Participants are adults already taking a different blood thinner (apixaban, edoxaban, or rivaroxaban) for conditions like atrial fibrillation or blood clots. Half will continue their current medication, and half will switch to dabigatran, which has shown promise against staph bacteria in lab and animal studies. The goal is to see if dabigatran leads to fewer complications or deaths.
