Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 19 years with confirmed atrial fibrillation and a CHA2DS2-VASC score indicating a need for anticoagulation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with moderate mitral valve stenosis, significant bleeding disorders, or severe liver disease may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of two doses of Rivaroxaban (15mg and 20mg) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. It is a randomized, open-label, phase 4 trial that includes screening for severe renal dysfunction and other end-organ issues. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two doses daily for 12 months, with follow-up visits at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months to monitor outcomes. The study aims to determine the optimal dosing for preventing stroke and systemic embolism in this patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this trial could provide insights into the most effective dosing of Rivaroxaban for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, potentially improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown positive outcomes with Rivaroxaban in similar patient populations, indicating a potential for success in this trial.
