Blood thinner pills in people with mild-to-moderate cirrhosis
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This early study tests whether the blood thinner pills rivaroxaban and apixaban can be used safely in people with liver cirrhosis that is not too severe. It may help doctors understand the safest way to prevent or treat blood clots in this group.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This Phase 2 study tests a blood-thinner called a DOAC in people with previously diagnosed mild or moderate liver cirrhosis (Child A or B). It may help doctors understand whether the medicine is safe and effective in this group.
This trial tests if the blood thinner apixaban can prevent liver cirrhosis from getting worse in people with alcohol-related liver disease. It may help reduce the risk of serious complications like fluid buildup or bleeding.
This Phase 4 study looks at how clotting measurements relate to bleeding risk in people with liver cirrhosis who need a planned liver procedure. The study may help doctors understand what coagulation results mean when doing these procedures safely.
This trial compares two blood-thinning medications, dabigatran (a pill) and enoxaparin (a shot), to see which works better and is safer for people with cirrhosis who have a blood clot in the portal vein (the main vein to the liver). It may help prevent the clot from getting worse or causing complications.
This trial tests whether a newer type of blood thinner can safely prevent dangerous bleeding from enlarged veins in the food pipe (esophagus) in people with liver cirrhosis who also have blood clots in the portal vein. The goal is to reduce the risk of life-threatening bleeding while managing the clot.
This study tests whether a blood thinner called apixaban can safely prevent dangerous bleeding in people with cirrhosis (liver scarring) who have portal hypertension (high blood pressure in veins leading to the liver). The goal is to see if it reduces bleeding risk without causing excessive bleeding.
