Thrombus Formation Under Different Flow-conditions

Status Enrolling by invitation

Clinical Trial Summary

Rationale: Cardiovascular diseases are important causes of morbidity and mortality in the industrialized world. Clinical studies indicate an important role for the proteins of the contact activation system (coagulation factor XII (FXII), FXI, prekallikrein and high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK)) on the risk of cardiovascular disease. There is substantial evidence from mouse studies that FXII and FXI participate in the formation and stability of thrombi and in vitro studies showed that collagen is able to activate FXII and hereby stimulate thrombin formation and potentiate the formation of platelet-fibrin thrombi. The investigators want to determine the role of the proteins of the contact activation system in platelet mediated thrombus formation in human blood.

Objective: The investigators will study the effects of the proteins of the contact activation system on platelet mediated thrombus formation, embolization and degradation on collagen in a perfusion flow model.

Study design: Blood will be collected from human volunteers via a venipuncture in the forearm. Each volunteer will donate maximally four times 30 ml of blood over a period of two days. This blood is used in perfusion flow experiments: blood flows over a coverslip covered with collagen in a flow chamber. The investigators will vary several conditions such as the concentration of the proteins and the shear rate. For perfusion flow experiments, the investigators need fresh whole blood because platelets are viable for four hours. After this time, new blood is needed.

Study population: For this study the investigators need blood from human volunteers with a coagulation defect in one of the proteins of the contact activation system, e.g. FXII, FXI, prekallikrein or HMWK and controls without any coagulation defects.

Main study parameters/endpoints: The investigators main study endpoint is the ex vivo formation of platelet-mediated thrombi on collagen in a perfusion flow model. The investigators hypothesize that thrombi formed from blood of patients deficient in FXII or FXI are less stable than those formed from blood from controls.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
