Filter by:This is a prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label, blinded-endpoint Phase III clinical trial to investigate the impact of thromboprophylaxis using innohep, beyond anticoagulation in the improvement of the clinical outcomes in active pancreatic cancer patients receiving systemic anti-neoplasmatic treatment. The number of patients that will be enrolled is 450. The enrollment period is 24 months and the follow up period is 10 months.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, blinded endpoint study to evaluate the effect of abelacimab relative to dalteparin on venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and bleeding in patients with gastrointestinal (GI)/genitourinary (GU) cancer associated VTE (Magnolia)
This is a Phase 3,multicenter, randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint evaluation study comparing the effect of abelacimab relative to apixaban on venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and bleeding in patients with cancer associated VTE (ASTER)
Elderly subjects are at greater risk of thrombophlebitis than the general population, but also of bleeding when anticoagulant therapy is initiated. Enoxaparin is one of the most widely used anticoagulants in the management of venous thromboembolism in the world. Its use is not codified in the elderly, because too few studies have been carried out in people over 75 years old. For several years, Enoxaparin in curative treatment has been administered at a reduced dosage of 4000 IU twice a day (and not at a standard dose of 100 IU / kg) at the Geriatrics center of the CRHU in Strasbourg with the clinical impression of a reduction the risk of serious bleeding without reduction in therapeutic efficacy in this very elderly population. Confirmation of a reduction in the risk of bleeding at this dosage could be the start of a change in prescribing practices, towards a more suitable dosage in the elderly.
This prospective nationwide registry aims to assess the durability of left atrial appendage occlusion when performed via totally thoracoscopic, percutaneous and hybrid- minimally invasive approaches and collect information on possible adverse events.
Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a rare autoimmune disease (incidence <1/100,000 population) responsible for the destruction of red blood cells by the host immune system, notably through the action of autoantibodies. Apart from complications related to anemia, the occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in this population is frequent, estimated at 20-27%. The risk of VTE is highest during the period of hemolysis, especially during the first 3 months after the diagnosis of AIHA. This risk is 7.5 [4.7; 12.0] times greater than in the general population. No clinical predictive factor for VTE was identified and the usual factors (cancer, previous VTE, bed rest >3 days, surgery, age >70 years, heart or respiratory failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, obesity, hormone replacement therapy) were not considered. Several biological risk factors have been suggested (depth of anemia, bilirubin level, leukocyte count, antiphospholipid antibodies) but have not been confirmed in other studies. AIHA is therefore a risk factor for VTE in its own right, and the National Diagnostic and Care Protocol (NDCP) recommends the implementation of VTE prevention during acute hemolysis (Grade C). However, the value of this prophylaxis has never been prospectively evaluated and its duration is empirical. In practice, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is generally used during "flare-ups" of AIHA (diagnosis and relapse) in hospitalized patients, but is rarely continued beyond the hospital phase when VTE also occurs in ambulatory patients. Thus, we hypothesize that prolonged preventive anticoagulation during the 12-week risk period following diagnosis or relapse of AIHA could decrease the incidence of VTE. In orthopedic surgery, this strategy has been proven to decrease VTE from 50% to 10-15%. In certain high-risk medical situations, prolonged prophylaxis with apixaban has been shown to decrease the occurrence of VTE from 10.2% to 4.2% in solid cancers4 and from 4-11% to 2% in myeloma.
Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) is a common clinical entity whose two manifestations are deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). After an acute PE, almost half of the patients complain residual dyspnea, despite well-conducted curative anticoagulation. Some will present persistent defects on lung scan-scintigraphy, without pulmonary hypertension. This condition defines Chronic-Thrombo-Embolic Disease(CTED). The prevalence of CTED after PE is poorly known as are its risk factors. The primary objective is to determine the prevalence of CTED at 3 or 6 months, depending on the provoked or unprovoked character, after a PE. The secondary objectives are: - To determine the potential risk factors for the occurrence of CTED. - To look for an association between the persistence of DVT and the occurrence of CTED. - To look for an association between the diagnosis of CTED and PE recurrence during the 12-month follow-up. - To determine the diagnostic performance of the clinician alone compared to the lung scintigraphy (gold standard) for the diagnosis of CTED. - To compare the impact on the quality of life (QoL) with or without CTED. - To determine the correlation between impaired QoL and the degree of residual obstruction on lung scintigraphy.
The purpose of the study is to examine the efficacy and safety of prolonged thromboprophylactic treatment with Fragmin® in oesophageal cancer patients undergoing intended curative surgery.
This is a prospective chart study that will aim to assess objective data on compliance levels to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) injections among pregnant and postnatal women undergoing VTE thromboprophylaxis treatment at Cork University Maternity Hospital. This is a study that will help shine light on accurate data for compliance and possible factors affecting it, which will be useful for more individualised treatment plans for future patients. Patients at higher risk of Venous thromboembolism undergoing VTE thromboprophylaxis will be invited to participate in the study. Once the patient reads the information leaflet and signs consent, data will then be collected from the patients medical record. The patient will be given a smart sharps bin with an individual, unique product code. This device will be provided by HealthBeacon, a Dublin based start-up company. The device will be personalised with the treatment schedule pre-loaded onto it. When a used LMWH injection is disposed into the smart sharps bin, an infrared sensor is activated. The system captures an image of the injection in the chamber before moving it to the normal 'sharps' container of the bin for disposal. The captured image is time-stamped and sent to HealthBeacon's electronic database. HealthBeacon will only have the data pertaining to the disposal of injections for each sharps bin (i.e. the timing of the disposal of each used injection in each pre-coded bin). We are blinded to the compliance information and will only will receive the raw Data once treatment is completed. Data will be analysed to determine compliance of LMWH injections. This study will enable us to have a better insight on accurate compliance rates for LMWH injections in pregnant women at higher risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Understanding compliance with LMWH injections and the factors which can affect it, will hopefully guide future information and education that we offer to patients who are prescribed LMWH injections and help decrease maternal mortality rates in future.
This is single centre pilot, randomized controlled trial assessing postpartum prophylactic anticoagulation with 3 weeks of LMWH followed by 3 weeks of Aspirin compared to standard of care of prophylactic LMWH for 6 weeks at moderate to high risk of developing VTE.
