Comparing blood thinners for APS with vein clots
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of blood thinners (DOACs like rivaroxaban/apixaban vs. warfarin) in people with antiphospholipid syndrome who have had a vein clot. The goal is to see which works better to prevent future clots.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You have had a blood clot in a vein that is linked to antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)
- You are currently taking a blood thinner medication (either rivaroxaban, apixaban, or warfarin)
- You do not have 'triple positive' antibodies (a specific type of APS)
- You have never had a blood clot in an artery or a new clot while on blood thinners

This study looks at how well blood thinners prevent blood clots from coming back in people with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) who are considered low risk. It compares two types of medicines: direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and vitamin K antagonists.
This research study looks at people with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) who have taken or are taking direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), which are blood thinners. The goal is to collect information about their treatment and health over time.
This study keeps an international registry of people with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) who are taking direct oral blood thinners. It may help doctors better understand how APS patients do over time and improve future care, even if you’re not asked to change treatment.
This study tests a new quick blood-clotting test (point-of-care INR testing) for patients with antiphospholipid syndrome who take blood thinners. The goal is to see if this faster test works as well as standard lab tests for monitoring their treatment.
This study keeps a registry to follow people with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) who have had arterial blood clots (like stroke). It collects information about the treatment approach your clinician chooses to see how different antithrombotic regimens may perform and be tolerated.
This study compares two types of blood thinners — clopidogrel (an antiplatelet) and warfarin — to prevent another stroke in people with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). It aims to find which medicine works better for people who have already had a stroke related to APS.
