Filter by:Venous Thromboembolic Disease (VTE) in SCI patients is very common, its prevalence is 60 to 80% against 10-20% in the general population. The risk of VTE is very important in the first weeks after spinal cord injury, and then declines with a prevalence of VTE slightly higher than the general population after 12 weeks. However there is no prospective study of incidence of VTE in SCI patients after 3 months. The investigators wish to conduct such a study during the year following spinal cord injury with performing venous Doppler ultrasound of the lower limbs 6, 9 and 12 months of the initial injuryassociated with a standardized clinical assessment, to know the incidence of VTE and determine prognostic factors for VTE.
The purpose of this study is to compare two types of low-molecular-weight heparin, enoxaparin and bemiparin, as regards their efficacy and safety in venous thromboembolism prevention among intensive care unit patients.
Patients with cancer are at particularly high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The guidelines therefore strongly recommend thromboprophylaxis but recent surveys clearly show that oncologists are reluctant to use it because of concern over bleeding, absence of validated risk stratification tools and uncertainties concerning the optimal thromboprophylaxis. Hence, it is a real challenge to identify the individual VTE risk of each cancer patient and individually tailor their thromboprophylaxis. The study aims to identify thrombin generation test (TGT) as a reliable, standardized overall haemostasis assay that can be used to evaluate individual thrombosis risk The secondary objectives are: - To define the limits of TGT parameters that indicate thrombosis risk in cancer patients - To evaluate values of other clotting activation markers in patients with cancer Patients recently diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic adenocarcinoma of any origin, who are scheduled for systemic chemotherapy, will be enrolled in the trial at baseline (Visit 1). Thrombin generating capacity will be measured within the first month following diagnosis and before the start of the chemotherapy (between Visit 1 and Visit 2) and subsequently at the end of the first cure line of chemotherapy (Visit 3). Patients will be followed up for a period of 1 year, or until the occurrence of a thromboembolic event. Two follow up visits are foreseen - 6-month (Visit 4) and 12-month (or at the end of trial - Visit 5) visits. Patients eventually undergoing second-line chemotherapy during the course of the follow-up will remain on study. The study will document all cases of symptomatic thromboembolic events together with the relevant diagnostic work-up.
The purpose of this study is to assess the measurement conformity of an in vitro diagnostic device measuring the INR (International harmonized Ratio).
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of anticoagulation self-monitoring coupled with an educational intervention in a minority underserved population.
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 purpose of this study is to evaluate women with heavy menstrual bleeding that have venous thromboembolism or atrial fibrillation. There will be a comparison of the anti-coagulants; drugs rivaroxaban or apixaban to see if one of the drugs works better to control bleeding during the women's menses.
The study will compare the efficacy and safety of oral rivaroxaban and subcutaneous dalteparin in patients with cancer associated thrombosis. It is designed as a non-inferiority open label randomized multicenter trial with blinded adjudication of outcome events.
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).
