Blood Thinner Safety in Asians With Atrial Fibrillation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is looking at how blood thinners work in Asian people with atrial fibrillation. It aims to better understand the balance between preventing strokes and the risk of bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heart rhythm).
- You should either be taking a blood-thinning medication (like apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, or dabigatran) or your doctor says you need one.
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You cannot have a mechanical heart valve or moderate-to-severe mitral stenosis (a narrowing of a heart valve).

This study tests whether patients with atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm disorder) who have had both a previous brain bleed and a recent stroke can safely take blood thinners to prevent future strokes. Researchers want to find the safest approach for people in this high-risk situation.
This study tests a new blood thinner to prevent strokes and blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation (a common heart rhythm problem). You may qualify if you have atrial fibrillation and at least one risk factor for stroke, or if you've never taken a blood thinner before.
This trial tests whether taking a blood thinner can lower the risk of stroke in people who had atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) that happened temporarily around a stressful illness or surgery. It looks especially at people at higher risk for stroke after that episode.
This study looks at how to better predict both stroke risk and bleeding risk in people with atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors choose safer blood-thinner treatment and follow-up plans.
This study follows people with atrial fibrillation to see how well blood-thinning medications work and what outcomes they experience over time. It aims to improve treatment guidance for patients with this common heart rhythm condition.
This trial tests how well blood thinners (anticoagulants) work to dissolve clots in the heart of people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It aims to find the best treatment for these clots before more serious complications occur.
