Clinical Trial: Plasma Concentration Monitoring of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Emergency Department Patients: Comparison of Two Laboratory Methods

U.S., Nov. 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07917455) titled 'Plasma Concentration Monitoring of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Emergency Department Patients: Comparison of Two Laboratory Methods' on Oct. 23.

Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to learn whether two laboratory tests give the same results when measuring blood levels of blood thinners. The study looked at adults who take direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and came to an emergency department. DOACs are blood thinners such as apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban and rivaroxaban.
