Frequently asked questions about rivaroxaban

What is rivaroxaban used for?

Rivaroxaban is an anticoagulant studied and used in cardiovascular and thromboembolic conditions, including atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, embolism, venous thrombosis, peripheral artery disease, and cancer-associated thrombosis. It has also been studied in hospitalized COVID-19 patients for extended thrombosis prophylaxis. It is a small molecule drug developed by Bayer AG.

What does rivaroxaban target?

Rivaroxaban targets coagulation factor X, also known as F10. It acts as an inhibitor of this factor, which is part of the blood coagulation cascade. By inhibiting factor X, rivaroxaban reduces thrombin generation and clot formation, which is the basis for its use in conditions involving abnormal or excessive blood clotting.

Who makes rivaroxaban?

Rivaroxaban is developed by Bayer AG, which trades under the ticker BAYRY. Bayer is the company associated with the drug's clinical development program across cardiovascular and thromboembolic indications. The compound is also identified by the research code BAY 59-7939.

Is rivaroxaban the same as Xarelto?

Yes, Xarelto is the brand name for rivaroxaban. Other names and identifiers used for the same drug include rivaroxaban (BAY 59-7939), rivaroxaban (BAY59-7939), Xarelto (rivaroxaban, BAY59-7939), rivaroxaban 20 mg tablet, and rivaroxaban 10 mg. These all refer to the same small molecule factor X inhibitor.

What phase is rivaroxaban in?

Rivaroxaban has been studied in Phase 3 clinical trials, and the trials listed in its development record are completed. It is a small molecule factor X inhibitor developed by Bayer AG. Its clinical program spans cardiovascular and thromboembolic indications, including atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, and cancer-associated thrombosis.

What clinical trials is rivaroxaban in?

Rivaroxaban trials include NCT02832544, a Phase 3 study in rheumatic heart disease with atrial fibrillation across multiple countries, and NCT04662684, the Phase 3 MICHELLE trial of extended thrombosis prophylaxis in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Other studies include NCT02746185 in cancer-associated thrombosis and NCT04720092, a Phase 1 trial of a liquid formulation in healthy male participants.
