Aspirin plus rivaroxaban to prevent clots after hip fracture surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies which pill regimen helps prevent dangerous blood clots after hip fracture surgery. You might be eligible if you’re 50 or older and can start treatment soon after your injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 50 or older and arrived at the hospital within 24 hours of the hip fracture
- Your hip fracture is a type that doctors plan to fix with surgery
- You may be taking aspirin or clopidogrel (anti-platelet medicines) before the fracture
- You can provide consent (or a legal substitute can) and agree to follow-up visits
- You can take aspirin and rivaroxaban if needed (no allergy and no certain bleeding risks or kidney failure)

This trial tests a structured rehabilitation program for older adults who have had surgery for a broken hip. The goal is to help you recover better and return to your daily activities.
This study looks at whether fixing a hip fracture sooner is better for people who take a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) blood thinner. It compares early surgery versus delayed surgery in people whose delay is specifically from the blood thinner.
This trial tests whether a combination of two blood thinners (rivaroxaban and aspirin) is better than aspirin alone at preventing clots after hip fracture surgery, for people who also had a mild heart injury. It may help find a safer, more effective way to prevent dangerous blood clots.
This trial tests a blood thinner called rivaroxaban (Xarelto) given right after heart valve surgery with a tissue valve. It aims to see if it can prevent blood clots or strokes safely in the early recovery period.
This study tests a shorter course of blood thinner medication (rivaroxaban) after hip replacement surgery, following an enhanced recovery plan. It aims to see if a shorter treatment can safely prevent blood clots and help you recover faster.
