New study tracks xarelto safety in infants with blood clots
NCT ID NCT05900388
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This observational study will collect data from health records of 850 children under 2 years old who have venous thromboembolism (blood clots). The goal is to see how doctors prescribe rivaroxaban (Xarelto) and other standard blood thinners, and to track any serious bleeding. No new treatments or tests are given—researchers simply analyze existing information from national health databases in Denmark, Sweden, France, and Spain.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) oral suspension
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide better information on how rivaroxaban is used and how safe it is in very young children with blood clots.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study that only looks at existing data, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be limited by the quality of the records and may not apply to all children.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Evidence of initiation of an anticoagulant therapy (index drug), either rivaroxaban oral suspension or other anticoagulation therapies (heparins, Vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), other Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs)). Initiation will be defined as a first record of any anticoagulation therapy (rivaroxaban or SOC) without any anticoagulation therapy in the previous 6 months, or since date of birth for children less than 6 months * Evidence of a prior VTE diagnosis (index VTE), defined as the presence of at least one primary/main or secondary diagnosis code for VTE recorded in inpatient setting in the previous 30 days * Age less than two years on index date. * Baseline period for availability of patient data history in the data source. A minimal baseline period of six months before index date for children aged between six months and two years, and a baseline period since birth for children less than six months of age will be required. Exclusion Criteria: \- None
