New hope for stroke survivors with rare clotting disorder: rivaroxaban vs warfarin
NCT ID NCT03684564
First seen Jun 02, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tested whether the drug rivaroxaban works as well as warfarin to prevent further brain damage in people who have had a stroke due to antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), a condition that causes abnormal blood clotting. About 40 participants took either rivaroxaban or warfarin for 24 months. The main goal was to see if brain scans showed less damage over time. This is a phase 2 trial, meaning it's an early test of effectiveness and safety.
