Filter by:Patients with genitourinary cancers (ex: bladder, testicular, kidney) are at high risk of developing blood clots if they receive systemic therapy (ex: chemotherapy, immunotherapy). Blood clots cause pain, may require hospitalization and invasive testing, and in some cases cause death. In fact, blood clots are one of the leading causes of death in patients with cancer. Furthermore, patients who develop a blood clot require medication to thin the blood for a prolonged (sometimes indefinite) period of time, and this can disrupt other important cancer treatments. Studies have shown that using low dose blood thinners to prevent blood clots during systemic therapy is effective in some patients with cancer. However very few patients in these studies had genitourinary cancers, therefore physicians in Canada are not sure if recommending blood thinners to patients with genitourinary cancers is useful or safe. Safety is a primary concern because blood thinners may cause bleeding, and patients with genitourinary cancers may have higher risk of bleeding than patients with other types of cancer. The investigators hypothesize that blood thinners are effective and safe for reducing blood clots in patients with genitourinary cancers. The objective of this study is to determine if a large clinical trial testing the effectiveness and safety of low dose blood thinners for preventing blood clots in patients with genitourinary cancers receiving systemic therapy is feasible.
This is an observational study in which only data are collected from participants receiving their usual treatment. The study is done in children under 2 years old with venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE is a condition in which blood clots form in the veins, usually in the leg. This can cause pain and swelling. The clot can also break apart and travel in the blood to the lungs where it can block the blood flow. This can be life threatening. Rivaroxaban is approved for doctors to prescribe to children with VTE, but there is limited information about how it is used, how well it works, and how safe it is in children under 2 years old. Children in this study are already receiving or will receive rivaroxaban or other currently used medicines for VTE from their doctor according to the approved product information. The purpose of this study is to collect information on the pattern of use and safety of rivaroxaban and other standard medicines for VTE in children under 2 years old. The main information that researchers will collect in this study: - Age, gender, and other information about the child and their illness - Type of VTE treatment given to the child - Occurrence of medically important bleeding and its severity Further information that researchers will collect: - Changes in the characteristics of the children given VTE treatment (e.g., changes in the age range of children given VTE treatment) and changes in the treatment pattern for VTE - Return of VTE symptoms - Types of doctors who prescribe VTE treatment and their set-up (e.g., special clinics versus hospitals) Besides this data collection, no further tests or examinations are needed in this study. The data for this study will be collected from electronic health records and health insurance claims data until 2026. Researchers will observe each child during treatment until: - end of the anticoagulation treatment period e.g. discontinuation of all study drugs, - their information is no longer available, or - the study ends.
This prospective, observational, post-market study will be performed to collect patient-level data on the Celect Platinum Vena Cava Filter Sets and the Günther Tulip Vena Cava Filter Retrieval Set to confirm continued safety and performance of the devices throughout their expected lifetime and continued acceptability of the benefit:risk ratio. Additionally, the study intends to evaluate longer-term (i.e., up to 5 years) outcome data while the filter is indwelling.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the feasibility and impact of remote care in patients diagnosed with thromboembolic disease of low risk. The main questions it aims to answer are: - the evaluation of feasibility of organisation between different healthcare professionals (hospital physicians, primary care physician) at 6 months and 1 year - the evaluation of complication rate, hospitalisation related to thromboembolic disease rate, compliance to treatment rate at 6 months and 1 year Participants will receive indication of treatment according to national recommendations. Additionnally, they will receive for the length of study a 4G tablet in order to fill questionnaires, learn information about their drugs (patient education), have a remote consultation and evaluate treatment compliance.
This is an open label study of apixaban for venous thromboembolism prevention in patients with newly diagnosed grade 4 glioma.
The occurrence of VTE in hospital is an important cause of unexpected death of inpatients, and has become a serious problem faced by hospital managers and clinical medical staff.Under the target of "Improving the Standard Prevention Rate of Venous Thromboembolism" proposed in the "National Medical Quality and Safety Improvement Goal in 2022", it is urgent to establish a highly sensitive VTE risk assessment and monitoring system.At present, VTE risk assessment scale is used for risk screening and monitoring in combination with D-dimer in clinical practice, but D-dimer has low specificity and poor sensitivity, which makes it impossible to accurately assess the risk of venous thrombosis.Therefore, it is very important to explore highly specific molecular markers of thrombosis for VTE risk assessment.This project will analyze the value of single or combined detection of different thrombus molecular markers in VTE risk assessment, establish the best VTE risk assessment scheme, improve the standardized prevention of VTE, realize the early intervention of VTE, truly achieve early detection, early prevention and early treatment, and effectively reduce the occurrence of VTE.
To evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of left atrial appendage in the prevention of thrombus in patients with valvular heart disease, to improve the product according to clinical conditions, to achieve clinically accurate treatment, and to establish the heart valve, the usefulness and universality of Warfarin's anticoagulant model were verified by the specimen library
Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has prolonged the survival substantially for selected patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer.Bleeding and thromboembolic disease have been reported as postoperative complications related to this advanced open surgical treatment. However, perioperative changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis are only sparsely reported in the literature.The mainstay of treatment with curative intend of none-advanced colorectal cancer is minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. The approach is considered associated with a lower risk of thromboembolic disease than open surgery. Despite differences in extent of surgery and thromboembolic risk the same extended thromboprophylaxis regimen for 28 days is currently prescribed to patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC as well as minimally invasive rectal cancer resection. This study aims to investigate all parts of the coagulation system and fibrinolysis, and thereby thromboembolic risk and potential bleeding in two groups of patients with different extent of surgical trauma: 1) Colorectal cancer patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC and 2) rectal cancer patients undergoing minimal invasive rectal cancer resection. Our hypothesis is that patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC are exposed to more aggravated alterations of coagulation and fibrinolysis than patients undergoing minimally invasive rectal cancer resection.
This is a multi-centered, prospective, observational study aimed at observing the Incidence Rate of Perioperiative VTE in Colorectal Cancer Patients
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication of malignancies, in particular to lung cancer. Patients with lung cancer in surgical and medical departments are at high risk of VTE development. Prophylaxis is one major way to to prevent it. Currently, VTE prophylaxis is mainly based on VTE-risk assessment. However, all patients hospitalized for cancer are at intermediate or high risk of VTE but their bleeding risk vary. To improve effect of VTE prophylaxis and reduce bleeding events in patients with lung cancer, we will conduct an open-label parallel randomized clinical tria to assess the effect of bleeding risk based prophylaxis strategy among lung cancer patients. We hypothesize that VTE prophylaxis based on bleeding risk assessment with a short post-discharge treatment course is superior to VTE propohylaxis based on VTE risk assessment among hospitalized patients with lung cancer A sample of 3200 eligible patients will be randomized into experimental or control group with an allocation rate of 1:1. Stratified by medical/surgical units, block randomization with a varying block size of 4 or 6 will be adopted to randomize patients into experimental or control group. In experimental group, patients will undergo bleeding risk assessment and receive prophylaxis according to bleeding risk during hospitalization, and they will also receive an extended pharmacological prophylaxis of 5mg Rivaroxaban once daily for up to 15 consecutive days after discharge. In control group, patients will receive routine VTE prophylaxis, VTE risk assessment and prophylaxis if indicated during hospitalization according to current policies for hospitals in China but no further treatment prophylaxis after discharge. Patients in both groups will be followed up for 30 days. The primary outcome is symptomatic and asymptomatic objectively proven VTE (deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE)) within 30 days after initiation of randomization. Ultrasound and CTPA will be performed to detect DVT and PE, respectively. Clinically relevant bleeding (non-major clinically relevant and major bleeding, HIT) and death are secondary outcomes.
