Filter by:This is an event driven Phase 3, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint evaluation (PROBE) parallel group study in subjects with confirmed VTE. This study is designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of edoxaban and to compare the efficacy and safety of edoxaban against standard of care in pediatric subjects with confirmed VTE.
The purpose of this study is to perform a pragmatic randomized controlled trial to compare the use of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH, lovenox, enoxaparin) versus acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in patients with high-risk lower extremity fractures.
The study will compare standard catheter directed thrombolysis to ultrasound accelerated thrombolysis for the treatment of acute submassive pulmonary embolism (PE). The study population will include patients eligible for catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) for submassive PE. Subjects will be randomized to, either, standard catheter-directed thrombolysis or ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis (USAT).
Critical patients in emergency room are seriously situations that need quickly diagnosis and treatment. Different predictors of prognosis can be related with mortality and morbidity in-hospital and in long-term. In Brazil, this kind of registry is not available. The aim of the study is analysis and report data about critical patients in Emergency Departments over all country, showing demographic, clinical and prognosis data about that in Brazil.
The goal of this research is to optimize the MRI system to obtain ideal lung images using Hyperpolarized (HP) Noble and Inert Fluorinated Gases as contrast agents. Lung coils tuned to the frequencies of these gases will be used. This study will take place at TBRHSC in the Cardiorespiratory Department and in the Research MRI facility.
The overarching objective of the study is to determine the effectiveness of LMWH/ warfarin vs. DOAC anticoagulation for preventing recurrent VTE in cancer patients. The intervention strategy is Direct Oral AntiCoagulants (DOAC) therapy with edoxaban, apixaban, rivaroxaban, or dabigatran. The comparator is low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) alone or with warfarin. The information gained will empower cancer patients and physicians to make more informed choices about anticoagulation strategies to manage VTE.
This study aims to collect patient reported outcomes and assess treatment satisfaction in active cancer patients treated with rivaroxaban for VTE (venous thromboembolism).
To evaluate the effect of a prognosis-guided vs standard medical therapy in the: 1) duration of hospital stay; 2) cost-effectiveness; 3) satisfaction and quality of life; 4) in-hospital and 30-day all-cause mortality; and 5) 30-day readmissions in normotensive patients with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE). Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled, single blind trial. Normotensive patients with acute symptomatic PE will be randomly assigned to follow a prognosis-guided treatment, or to receive usual care. Setting: Respiratory, Medicine and Emergency Departments in 15 Spanish hospitals. Analyses: Data for the primary and secondary end points will be analyzed according to the intention-to -treat principle. The intention-to-treat analysis will include all randomly assigned patients. For the efficacy end points, investigators will use the Mann-Whitney U test. We will also use competing risk regression models according to Fine and Gray. For the safety end points, comparisons will be made with the use of the chi-square test. Separate analyses will be done in key prespecified subgroups of patients, according to age and hospital size.
The primary objective of this study is to search for, in vitro, elements associated with IgG-dependent monocyte activation (signaling pathway activation, expression of pro-coagulant and pro-inflammatory factors) and to describe their prevalence in female patients with a history of proximal venous thromboembolism (proximal deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism) compared to control women.
Objective: To evaluate whether trimester specific d-dimer levels and brain natriuretic protein (BNP), along with the modified Wells score (MWS), is a useful risk stratification tool to exclude pregnant women at low-risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) from diagnostic imaging with radiation exposure.
