This is an open-label randomized controlled trial which will enroll patients with S. aureus bacteremia who are already taking oral anticoagulant medications (apixaban, edoxaban, or rivaroxaban) for an approved indication (stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation, prevention or treatment of venous thromboembolism). We will randomize patients to continue their existing medication or change to another medication (dabigatran) which is approved for the original indication.
Dabigatran is approved in many countries for the treatment or prevention of venous thromboembolism or preventing stroke in atrial fibrillation. Unlike the other medications listed above, dabigatran seems to have activity against S. aureus in the test tube, in animal models, and in a smaller randomized controlled trial. We wish to determine if changing to dabigatran will improve outcomes in S. aureus bacteremia in people who otherwise would have a reason to be taking it.
This study is an approved sub-study of The Staphylococcus aureus Network Adaptive Platform (SNAP) trial (NCT05137119).
If positive, this study will support a second RCT in people who do not currently have an indication for anticoagulation.

This statement supersedes any such statement in NCT05137119.
For DABI-SNAP, we will provide deidentified individual patient data required to replicate the main manuscript's tables and analyses.
Starting 1 year after the publication of the main trial manuscript for up to 7 years.
Researchers will need to request the data from the corresponding author of the main trial manuscript with an accompanying written proposal for the secondary analysis. Once approved by the trial steering committee, a data sharing agreement will be signed by the responsible parties and the deidentified data set will be provided via a secure transmission.

| Day 90 post enrollment in the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT05137119) |
| All cause mortality | Death from any cause | Day 90 post enrollment in the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT05137119) |
| Infectious Complications | Defined as change in therapy for inadequate clinical response; new endocarditis; new evidence of other deep metastatic foci (e.g., osteomyelitis or deep abscess); relapse of MRSA bacteremia after a patient has sterilized their initial blood cultures; readmission for subsequent care of S. aureus bacteremia; need for unplanned source control procedures. New implies that the complication was not suspected at enrollment and is not a function of delay to diagnostic testing. | Day 90 post enrollment in the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT05137119) |
| Clinically relevant major bleeding | This will be defined according to the criteria of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis as one or more of the following: fatal bleeding; symptomatic bleeding in a critical area or organ (including hemorrhagic stroke); bleeding that causes a fall in hemoglobin level of ≥20 g/L; or bleeding that requires a transfusion of 2 or more units of whole blood or red cells. For bleeds into non-critical areas, we will also record the site of bleeding. | Day 90 post enrollment in the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT05137119) |
| Clinically relevant venous thromboembolic events | This will be defined as an acute objectively confirmed deep vein thrombosis (upper extremity, lower extremity, other such as portal vein, cerebral vein, splanchnic vein) and/or segment or proximal pulmonary embolism, which is symptomatic and/or necessitates specific treatment. Below knee DVT and superficial thrombophlebitis are not included. Pulmonary embolism needs to be, segmental or proximal. Subsegmental pulmonary embolisms are not included as they have poor interrater reliability and may represent artefact in up to 50% of cases. | Day 90 post enrollment in the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT05137119) |
| Clinically relevant stroke | Stroke is defined as the acute onset of focal neurological dysfunction caused by brain, spinal cord, or retinal vascular injury because of infarction (ischemia). Ideally, at least one of the following should be present to confirm the diagnosis of stroke: confirmation by neurology, stroke specialist, or neurosurgical specialist, brain imaging (e.g., CT scan, MRI scan, or cerebral vessel angiography compatible with acute ischemia). If the acute focal signs represent a worsening of a previous deficit, these signs must persist for more than 24 hours and be accompanied by an appropriate new MRI or CT scan finding. In the absence of neuroimaging, a staff neurologist consult which makes the diagnosis of stroke will be considered. | Day 90 post enrollment in the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT05137119) |
| Clinically relevant acute myocardial infarction | Patients with S. aureus bacteremia often have substantial physiological stresses which can be associated with rises in cardiac troponin (demand ischemia). For the purposes of this outcome, acute myocardial infarction is captured as a type 1 myocardial infarction: detection of rise and/or fall of cardiac biomarkers with at least one value above the 99th percentile of the upper reference limit together with evidence of myocardial ischemia. For the purposes of this pragmatic trial, such a myocardial infarction will be inferred from the opinions of the staff cardiologist, intensivist, or general internal medicine specialist. The peak troponin value will be recorded, and a redacted copy of the relevant consultant's note and ECGs will be uploaded for audit. | Day 90 post enrollment in the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT05137119) |
| Clinically relevant arterial thromboembolic event | Clinical history compatible with sudden worsening of end organ or limb perfusion and confirmation by imaging (e.g., CT angiography, arterial doppler) or need for urgent surgery or thrombolysis. | Day 90 post enrollment in the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT05137119) |
