Filter by:Purpose: Identification of the gene(s) involved in plasma membrane remodelling. Identification of the circulating markers affected by the defective membrane remodelling in a collection of families with unexplained provoked hemorrhages and evaluation of their prognosis value in the assessment of the hemostatic cellular response.Hypothesis: Scott syndrome is rare a familial disorder characterized by provoked haemorrages in homozygous-type patients due to isolated membrane remodelling deficiency. Membrane remodelling is necessary for cellular hemostatic responses.
This is a randomized controlled trial to assess the effect of a levonorgesterel-releasing intrauterine device (LNG IUD, Mirena®) versus a copper IUD (Paraguard®) on coagulation parameters known to be associated with risk of thrombosis (blood clots). Both the LNG IUD and the copper IUD are FDA approved devices for contraception. Women enrolled in this study will be randomized to receive either the LNG IUD or the copper IUD. They will complete a one month bleeding diary prior to insertion of the IUD and again for one month while the IUD is in place. They will undergo phlebotomy (blood draw) at baseline (prior to insertion of the IUD), two and four months. Stored samples will be used to measure D-dimer, C-reactive protein (CRP), antithrombin (AT), factor VIIIc, activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and activated partial thromboplastin time plus activated protein C (aPTT + APC). Both groups will undergo a GYN exam with screening for bacterial vaginosis and gonorrhea/chlamydia cultures prior to insertion of the IUD. A brief survey to assess the women's experience with the IUD, including symptomatology and satisfaction with the device, will be conducted at the four months after insertion.
We propose a prospective cohort study to assess the effect of the progesterone only contraceptive pill (minipill) on coagulation parameters known to be associated with risk of thrombosis (blood clots) in women who are at increased risk for forming blood clots. We plan to recruit women with a history of venous thromboembolism (VTE, blood clot in a vein) and women with a history of blood tests which demonstrate an increased risk of thrombosis who desire contraception. Women enrolled in this study will undergo phlebotomy (blood draw) at baseline (prior to starting the minipill), one and three months. Stored samples will be used to measure D-dimer, C-reactive protein (CRP), antithrombin (AT), factor VIII, free and total protein S, fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor (vWF) and normalized activated protein C sensitivity ratio (nAPCsr). Both groups will undergo a general physical and GYN exam prior to enrollment. This exam and the blood testing will be provided free of charge. Patients will not be prescribed the minipill after completion of the study and will be advised to consult with their primary care physician or hematologist if they wish to continue this medication.
This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two dose schedules of activated recombinant human factor VII in treatment of joint bleeds in haemophilia patients with inhibitors.
To explore the hypothesis that leg ulcers are associated with hypercoagulable states, the CLUE study will evaluate patients with connective tissue disease associated leg ulcers, to identify risk factors (especially hypercoagulability and immunologic characteristics), characterize pathogenesis, predict response to therapy, and assess the impact of lower extremity ulcers on quality of life.
Aim of this study is to investigate whether patients preoperatively treated with acetylsalicylic acid and/or clopidogrel have fewer perioperative bleeding and lower amounts of blood substitution when managed by ROTEM (whole blood coagulation analyzer) and MULTIPLATE (thrombocyte function analyzer).
The purpose of the present study is to perform a comprehensive description of haemostasis parameters before and after haemodilution with Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) following acute bleeding during elective surgery. Moreover the study aims to test the in vivo haemostatic potential of fibrinogen concentrate in dilutional coagulopathy caused by HES in a clinical, prospective, placebo-controlled randomised setup. We hypothesise; a) A coagulopathy is induced following in vivo haemodilution; b) the coagulopathy is improved or partially improved by fibrinogen.
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Japan, and North and South America. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of activated recombinant human factor VII analogue (vatreptocog alfa (activated)) in haemophilia patients with inhibitors.
This trial is conducted in North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of Recombinant Factor VIIa in patients with acute intracerebral bleeding.
Warfarin (also called Coumadin®) is an anticoagulant drug (blood thinner) given to patients to help prevent blood clots from forming or to help prevent the growth of an existing blood clot. The purpose of this study is to collect information on a possible method used to determine the best warfarin dose for people before they start warfarin. This study will focus on finding out if a person's stable dose can be better predicted by using a new approach (called "pharmacogenetic-guided dosing") compared to the current warfarin dosing method. The pharmacogenetic-guided dosing method (the new warfarin dosing method) will use a person's specific health and genetic information to calculate a patient's warfarin dose at the beginning of warfarin treatment. The hope is that through this research, we may someday be able to use an individual's genetic information to guide the selection of their specific warfarin dose at the beginning of treatment, leading to precise warfarin dosing and less need for the current trial and error process.
