Post-Operative Biomarker-Guided Precision Medicine For Cardiovascular Risk Reduction
A Pilot Randomized Trial of Post-Operative Biomarker-Guided Precision Medicine With Rivaroxaban and Atorvastatin for Cardiovascular Risk-Reduction
NYU Langone Health
50 participants
Oct 7, 2025
INTERVENTIONAL
Summary
The goal of this pilot study is to assess enrollment feasibility of a randomized trial of direct oral anticoagulant and high-intensity statin therapy versus usual care in patients with Myocardial Injury after Noncardiac Surgery (MINS). The primary aims of this study are to assess feasibility, study drug adherence, and optimize study design (entry criteria, study endpoints, sample size calculation, site selection) and recruitment strategies for the future multicenter randomized clinical trial studying biomarker-based care in post-operative patients at elevated cardiovascular (CV) risk.

- Ability to provide informed consent
Exclusion Criteria11
- Expected survival <6 months

- Patient already receiving or planned to receive moderate or high-intensity statin
- Contraindication to high-intensity statin
- Contraindication to rivaroxaban
