Little data are available on the genital haemorrhages in woman of childbearing age treated for venous thromboembolic disease by oral anticoagulant, especially the impact on the quality of life. A recent systematic review in 2016 described for the first time in patients with venous thromboembolic a lower incidence in men of major haemorrhages and minor haemorrhages but clinically significant compared with women (5,3% and 7,9% respectively; RR: 0,635, 95%CI 0,54-0,74 ; p<0,001). It appears that this difference is related to genital haemorrhages and some direct oral anticoagulants are more associated with hemorrhagic surge. In post-hoc analyzes of phases III trials, rivaroxaban was most of the time associated with genital haemorrhages compared to vitamine K antagonists, effect not found with apixaban. Four other retrospective studies seem to find the same conclusions with a higher haemorrhagic risk with the rivaroxaban than with vitamine K antagonist or apixaban. However, haemorrhagic risk is defined in these studies with criteria of severity (anemia, transfusion, use of a health professional, menstrual periods of more than 8 days, inter mentrual bleeding, presence of blood clots) and these studies do not take into account of minor haemorrhages that may affect on the quality of life and asthenia due to anemia. Our objective is : 1- studying the proportion of women with abnormal genital haemorrhages among women of childbearing age treated for venous thromboembolism disease by oral anticoagulant including using a semi quantitative score of menorrhagia. 2- To compare this proportion according to the three molecules of oral anticoagulants (antivitamin K, rivaroxaban and apixaban) and compare the molecules two by two and 3- to evaluate the impact of these haemorrhages on the quality of life. Our study would have a control group of women of childbearing age followed in vascular medicine for superficial venous insufficiency without thrombosis and without oral anticoagulant because the proportion of genital haemorrhages in women of childbearing age in PACA region is not known.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the FlowTriever System for use in the removal of emboli from the pulmonary arteries in the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism (PE). The use of the device will be assessed in a real-world population, with eligibility criteria that closely approximate its use in clinical practice. Up to 300 additional patients with anticoagulation treatment as the initial planned primary treatment strategy for intermediate risk PE will also be evaluated (US only).
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the ability of new D-Dimer assay combined with a clinical pretest probability (PTP) to safely exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) or Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) in a 3 month follow-up.
Patients hospitalized in internal wards are at risk for VTE. The current guidelines recommend the use of thromboprophylaxis for 7-10 days among patients who are at increased risk for VTE. Yet several retrospective studies have shown that the compliance with this guideline is low. Physicians are often reluctant to administer LMWH to their fragile patients mainly because they are not convince that the risk associated with such therapy is greater than the risk for VTE. In the current study, data concerning the use of thromboprophylaxis among patients admitted to the medical wards will be collected. The occurrence of bleeding or thrombotic event will be evaluated prospectively.
'The TOP Study' is a prospective cohort study whose main objective is to develop better prognostic biomarkers and identify children at risk of adverse thrombotic outcomes very early in the course after an initial venous thromboembolic events (VTE). The study will compare biomarkers in children that develop poor VTE outcomes (such as recurrence, postthrombotic syndrome and post PE impairment ) after an initial VTE with those that do not develop such outcomes.
Apixaban for the treatment of venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer: a prospective randomized open blinded end-point (PROBE) study
Low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) are the reference molecule for the long term treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in cancer patients but remains, however, associated with a high risk of recurrent thromboembolism. The high rate of recurrence may result from alterations in the pharmacokinetics of LMWH. The primary purpose of the study is to compare the pharmacokinetics of anti-Xa activity in patients with cancer and patients without cancer treated with curative dose of low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The secondary purposes are 1/ to study the correlation between anti-Xa LMWH and concentration of plasma heparanase and 2/ to evaluate the predictive nature of the anti-Xa activity on the occurrence of thromboembolic recurrence in cancer patients treated with LMWH for VTE.
The SAVER pilot is a randomized, open-label pilot study to determine the feasibility of recruitment. In addition to feasibility data, the investigators will carefully collect clinical data to determine if rosuvastatin can reduce post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients. Eligible consenting patients who developed acute, symptomatic, and objectively confirmed proximal leg deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or PE will be randomized and equally allocated to 2 trial arms, either the treatment group (rosuvastatin tablet (20 mg/day) or the control group (usual care). The pilot trial consists of up to 4 study contacts over 6 months: screening, randomization, telephone follow-up (90 days), and final study visit (180 days).
Objectives of the study are: To estimate the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in a cohort of women with suspected ovarian cancer and evaluate changes in the coagulation system in case of benign or malignant disease. The impact of changes in the coagulation system on disease prognosis will be evaluated.
