Summary

Study to investigate microvascular and antiinflammatory effects of Rivaroxaban compared to low dose aspirin in type 2 diabetic patients. Especially patients with cardiovascular disease and subclinical inflammation are in the focus of interest.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Type 2 diabetes duration between 2 and 20 years
  • Two or more components of metabolic syndrome:
  • HDL-cholesterol 1.7 mmol/L)
  • Elevated blood pressure (> 130 mmHg systolic and/or >85 mmHg diastolic or antihypertensive treatment)
  • Elevated waist circumference (> 102 cm in males, > 85 cm in females)
  • Or at least one of the following
  • Carotid ultrasound showing an IMT > 1 mm and plaque of carotid artery or
  • Left ventricular hypertrophy or
  • Increased UACR in the absence of other renal diseases than diabetic nephropathy
  • Increased hsCRP (> 2 mg/l but 15 ng/ml) at or within 6 months prior to screening (the historical hsCRP or PAI 1 value can be used only if the patient was in stable conditions regarding the concomitant diseases and statin therapy since the time point of measurement)
  • Stable treatment with statins (if tolerated/clinically indicated)
  • Age 40 - 75 years

Exclusion Criteria

  • Major cardiovascular (CV) event with need for oral anticoagulation or platelet inhibitor therapy or acute coronary syndrome 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg
  • Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients
  • Active clinically significant bleeding
  • Lesion or condition, if considered to be a significant risk for major bleeding
  • Concomitant treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with antiplatelet therapy in patients with a prior stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA)
  • Hepatic disease associated with coagulopathy and clinically relevant bleeding risk including cirrhotic patients with Child Pugh B and C
  • Chronic renal failure with eGFR < 15 ml/min (MDRD formula)
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding woman and woman without adequate method of contraception.
