Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this multicenter, two component observational and standardized case-control study is to evaluate risk factors of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding with a prospective 3-month and 12-month follow-up to examine outcomes and their possible causes.


Clinical Trial Description

Antithrombotic therapies are effective for prevention of cardiovascular (CV) events but cause bleeding. Emerging evidence indicates that extra-cranial bleeding is just as important as myocardial infarction as a marker of risk for subsequent non-fatal and fatal CV events, but this issue has not been prospectively studied. If the association between bleeding and CV events is causal, prevention of bleeding, by targeting the risk factors, and prevention of the complications of bleeding, by targeting the causal pathways, could substantially reduce the burden of bleeding-related CV events. Progress in developing these approaches has been limited by a knowledge gap. Known risk factors do not fully explain bleeding risk and the investigators do not understand the mechanisms linking bleeding with adverse outcome and whether the association is causal. One-half of bleeds that lead to CV events in patients receiving antithrombotic therapy arise in the GI tract. INTERBLEED plans to explore risk factors for GI bleeding, and outcomes after GI bleeding, in this well-circumscribed and important group using a case-control design with prospective 3 month and 12 month follow-up. Specific objectives are to: (1) identify risk factors for GI bleeding and estimate their population attributable risk; (2) determine the risk of non-fatal and fatal CV events and functional outcomes after GI bleeding; and (3) explore the possible mechanisms linking GI bleeding with CV outcome. INTERBLEED will recruit 2500 case-control pairs from centres in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, China, Ireland and the Netherlands. Data will be collected on patient characteristics, medical history and, in cases, the work-up, management and outcomes after bleeding. The INTERBLEED results will help to develop new approaches to reducing the burden of bleeding-related CV events. ;
