Rivaroxaban in Chinese Children With Giant Coronary Artery Aneurysm After Kawasaki Disease: a Pilot Study
Based on a population pharmacokinetic model-based dose optimization study, a 15 mg-equivalent, age-, and bodyweight-adjusted dosing regimen for Chinese children with giant coronary artery aneurysms after Kawasaki disease was proposed. This single-center, single-arm, pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility of the 15 mg-equivalent dosing regimen within a limited sample size. Patients will be followed for more than 6 months. Clinical outcomes, including coronary artery thrombosis, major adverse cardiovascular events, and bleeding events, will be recorded. Rivaroxaban levels will be measured to assess the robustness of the model-informed dose optimization.
• Giant coronary artery aneurysm(s) in any coronary artery after acute stage of Kawasaki disease. Giant coronary artery aneurysm(s) should be confirmed by two-dimensional echocardiography and meet the diagnostic criteria of Z-score ≥10 or coronary artery internal diameter ≥8mm;
• Anticoagulant with antiplatelet drug therapy for anti-thromboprophylaxis is recommended for the next 6 months;
• Participant should be able to tolerate oral feeding, nasogastric or gastric feeding;
• Children aged 1 Month to\<18 years, bodyweight ≥ 2600g.
