Stroke risk score for AF patients on blood thinners
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new scoring system to predict stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation who are taking DOAC blood thinners. The goal is to help doctors personalize treatment and prevent blood clots.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have atrial fibrillation (AF).
- You are currently taking a DOAC blood thinner (like apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, or dabigatran).
- You are willing to be followed for at least 3 months.
- You do not have mitral stenosis (a narrowed heart valve) or a mechanical heart valve.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two types of blood thinners (DOACs like apixaban or rivaroxaban, and warfarin) to see which works better for people who have a stroke while taking a DOAC. The goal is to find the safest and most effective option to prevent another stroke.
This study looks at people who had a stroke while taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) for an irregular heartbeat. It aims to learn more about these strokes and how to better prevent them in the future.
This study looks at stroke risk and blood clotting in people who have just been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFib) that is not caused by a heart valve problem, and who have not yet taken blood thinners. It aims to better understand how blood clots form in this condition.
This trial tests a new medication to prevent strokes and blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) who cannot safely take standard blood thinners. The drug works by blocking a different clotting factor, which may lower bleeding risks.
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 looks at whether older adults with atrial fibrillation are taking the right dose of their blood thinner medicine. It aims to improve how doctors prescribe these medications in primary care.
