Exclusion criteria:

  2. ) Liver cirrhosis complicated with liver tumor;
  3. ) Liver cirrhosis complicated with blood system diseases;
  4. ) Patients who have not signed the informed consent form.
  5. Research subgroup According to the order of the patients, the following groups are entered in turn, and the cycle is repeated.
  6. ) Heparin group: Low molecular weight heparin 5000U ih Q12h was given 24 hours after operation, 5 days after operation. Warfarin 1.25-2.5 mg po qd, 30 days after operation. PT(prothrombin time)/INR(international normalized ratio) was kept at 1.25-1.5.
  7. ) Rivaroxaban group: Rivaroxaban 10mg po qd from 24 hours after operation, 30 days after operation. PT/INR was kept at 1.25-1.5.
  8. ) Control group: No preventive intervention measures. If platelets in the above groups are > 500× 109/L, aspirin 100 mg qd is added for 1 month. If platelets are > 1000× 109/L, platelet collection is performed.
  9. Monitoring indicators Color Doppler ultrasound was reexamined 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks after operation to find out whether PVST was present. Abdominal CT was performed when PVST was suspected. After the patient's condition is stable, the portal vein system ultrasound is reviewed monthly, and the follow-up time is 1 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Heparin and Rivaroxaban in people with Liver Cirrhosis and Portal Hypertension, run by First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

thrombosis formation (time frame: 1 year after surgery.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Aug 2021.
