Treatment of heart and blood vessel disease (cardiovascular disease) with low dose blood thinner (low dose rivaroxaban) in people with advanced kidney disease or receiving dialysis (advanced chronic kidney disease).
EU CTIS ID: 2024-512483-59-00
What this study is testing
To determine whether low dose rivaroxaban (2.5mg twice daily), compared to placebo, significantly reduces the risk of a composite outcome of Cardio vascular (CV) death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke or peripheral arterial disease events, in patients with chronic kidney disease stages 4 or 5 or dialysis-dependent kidney failure, and an elevated CV risk.
