Pivotal Trial

Summary

This trial will help to assess whether low dose rivaroxaban is safe and effective in reducing the risk of MACE in people with CKD.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 65 or older with advanced chronic kidney disease (stages 4 or 5) or on dialysis, and who also have a high risk of heart problems due to conditions like diabetes, previous strokes, or being over the age of 65. Participants must not have uncontrolled high blood pressure, recent major bleeding, certain heart valve issues, severe liver disease, very low blood counts, be pregnant/breastfeeding in some regions, among other exclusions.
What is being tested?
The TRACK trial is testing whether a low dose of Rivaroxaban can lower the chance of serious heart events in patients with late-stage chronic kidney disease at elevated cardiovascular risk. It's a large global study comparing Rivaroxaban against a placebo pill without any active medicine in it.
What are the potential side effects?
Rivaroxaban may increase the risk of bleeding including internal bleeding which could be serious. Other side effects might include allergic reactions and possibly liver problems. The exact side effects will be monitored closely during the trial.
