APS: New anticoagulant medicines

[StuartD]

Does anyone know what steps are being taken to determine if Dabigatran is a safe warfarin replacement for APS warfarin users? (Or any other alternative medicines).

[Hidden]

There are multi centre trials being organised in the UK with St Thomas', UCH and UCL. Getting the funding as ever for a million pound plus project is proving difficult as is recruiting patients who are brave enough to be the first guinea pigs.

Tell you what I really disliked taking warfrain so much so that i switched to clexane just to get a brake from the appointments at the blood clinic but clexane is not a longer term answer, but given half a chance i would consider entering a trail to help to process along, but sadly i am not under the care of any of the centres above.
