Hospital study probes reversal drug for bleeding on blood thinners
NCT ID NCT07333144
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how doctors at Strasbourg University Hospital manage severe stomach or intestinal bleeding in patients taking blood thinners (DOACs). Researchers will review medical records of 250 adults to see how often a drug called prothrombin complex concentrate is used to reverse the blood thinner's effects. The goal is to gather real-world data on current practices and outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- prothrombin complex concentrate
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could clarify whether prothrombin complex concentrate is effective and safe for reversing blood thinners during severe gastrointestinal bleeding.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The results may be limited by how doctors chose treatments in practice.
