Extrait

The primary aim of the trial is to assess whether the anticoagulant effects of rivaroxaban are not inferior to those of warfarin. This will be achieved by comparing the percentage change in endogenous thrombin potential (ETP), assessed by the thrombin generation test (TGT), from randomisation to day 42. The TGT is a global measure of anticoagulation, which can assess the anticoagulant effects of both rivaroxaban and warfarin (drugs with very different modes of action on the coagulation mechanism). The TGTs will be performed in the UCL Haemostasis Research Unit.


Critère d'inclusion

  • Patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), with or without systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
