NCT ID: NCT05998421 Completed - Acupuncture Clinical Trials

The Effects of Acupuncture on the Natural Pregnancy in Patients With Recurrent Abortion

Start date: March 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is a common pregnancy complication in women of reproductive age and the cause of RSA remains largely unclear. Acupuncture is widely used in clinical practice to treat infertility and abortion. The role of acupuncture in the treatment of infertility is still unclear. The investigators conducted a randomized, prospective, controlled clinical trial to investigate its potential impact on pregnancy outcome. Herein, the investigators not only evaluated the changes in patients' psychological stress before and after treatment but also followed up on pregnancy outcomes. In addition, changes in uterine artery blood flow were observed by ultrasound. Changes in coagulation-related indicators were also detected.

Role of Coagulation, Inflammation and Vessels in Chronic Liver Disease

CLUE
Start date: May 9, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Chronic liver diseases represent a major public health problem and are responsible for more than 150,000 deaths in Europe each year. These diseases are accompanied by symptoms that profoundly alter the quality of life and mainly affect people of working age, leading to a major economic impact. Coagulation disorders, inflammation and vascular alterations are associated with chronic liver diseases but their role in the onset and/or progression of liver diseases is still not fully understood. A better understanding of chronic liver diseases and in particular of the factors that play a role in the onset and progression of these diseases would improve patient management and therefore have a positive impact on individuals, but also on the healthcare system and the economy.

Observational Dutch Young Symptomatic StrokE studY - nEXT

ODYSSEY-nEXT
Start date: February 6, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

BACKGROUND: Worldwide, 2 million patients aged 18-50 years suffer an ischemic stroke each year with an increasing trend over the past decade due to yet unknown reasons. Whereas prognosis and antithrombotic treatment in older patients with cardiovascular disease are among the best studied topics in clinical medicine, this does not hold true for patients at young age. It is of great importance to treat these patient groups correctly to prevent recurrence and bleeding complications. However, previous research have shown that there is a long-term increased risk of recurrent ischemic events despite the secondary prevention and a subsequent increased bleeding risk. To tailor effective antithrombotic therapy to the individual patient, it is essential to understand the underlying pathogenesis and identify modifiable risk factors in young patients for recurrence or bleeding. It is thought that abnormalities of hemostasis may play a key role in early-onset ischemic stroke. First, prothrombotic conditions are associated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke at young age. In addition, disturbance of the hemostatic balance due to one or several triggers can activate the coagulation cascade, which on its turn can lead or contribute to clot formation and subsequent arterial occlusion. In previous study, there were indications that trigger factors such as fever and/or an infection in the days prior to the stroke may play a role in the pathogenesis. This suggests that an interaction between inflammation, endothelial damage and coagulation may lead to the formation of a clot. In this observational study we aim to investigate the role of the immune system, endothelial damage and coagulation in the pathogenesis and prognosis of stroke in young patients. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of hemostasis, inflammation and endothelial activation in the etiology and prognosis in an acute ischemic stroke (or TIA) in young stroke patients. STUDY DESIGN: Multicentre prospective observational study STUDY POPULATION: All patients aged between 18 and 50 years old with a first-ever ischemic stroke or TIA who are admitted to the neurology ward or seen at the outpatient clinic of one of the participating centers. Main exclusion criteria are: history of clinical TIA, ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage. A intracerebral hemorrhage resulting from trauma, known aneurysm or underlying intracerebral malignancy. A venous infarction, retinal infarction and amourosis fugax. Inadequate control of the Dutch language to reliably sign an informed consent from and/or participate in the follow-up. Patients are excluded if they have a contra indication for 3T MRI. In addition 60 healthy controls (18-50 years old) will be included. MAIN STUDY ENDPOINTS: 1. Baseline and 3 months coagulation profile: Whole blood and platelet poor plasma thrombin generation, platelet function tests, and coagulation biomarkers, screening for thrombophilia. 2. Baseline and 3 months inflammation/endothelial activation profile: Cytokines/chemokines, expression of receptors/cofactors related to hemostasis on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), stimulation tests of PBMC's to assess trained immunity. 3. Vessel wall enhancement on 3 Tesla MRI 4. Questionnaire trigger factors

NCT ID: NCT05440201 Completed - Bleeding Clinical Trials

Coupling Between Clotting Characteristics in Chronic Hemodialysis Patients and the Hemodialyzer Patency

ClotPara
Start date: April 19, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Twenty stable chronic hemodialysis patients are included and will undergo one, two, three or four midweek test dialysis sessions, depending on a flow chart to follow. All patients are started (week 1) with an anticoagulant Clexane 50IE/kg and are dialyzed with their regular dialyzer and dialysis machine. Depending on the results of measured clotting characteristics and of the dialyzer scanning (i.e. percentage open fibers), it is decided (via the flow chart) whether the patient gets a second session (and so on) with an adapted anticoagulation therapy to ameliorate fiber patency while limiting bleedings.

NCT ID: NCT05204810 Completed - Hemodialysis Clinical Trials

Optimisation of Anticoagulation in Patients on Nocturnal Hemodialysis

Start date: February 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To avoid clotting during extracorporeal treatment, an anticoagulant is added to the circuit, resulting in an increased risk for bleeding complications. In addition, there is evidence that a substantial number of fibers can become blocked before this is reflected in routinely observed parameters, or in termination of the dialysis session. In standard hemodialysis of 4 hours, the anticoagulant is administered at the beginning of dialysis. For nocturnal hemodialysis, there is no hard evidence whether anticoagulation should be administered only at the dialysis start or with an extra dosing halfway the dialysis session. The aim of this randomized cross-over study is to objectively quantify the number of patent fibers after nocturnal dialysis in two different settings: anticoagulation only at the dialysis start, and anticoagulation divided over two time points, i.e. dialysis start and halfway dialysis.

NCT ID: NCT04868214 Recruiting - Coagulation Clinical Trials

Multi-site Study for Evaluation of Clinical Ranges of Whole Blood Clotting Times of Patients on Anticoagulants and Verification of Measurement Precision of Liquid Quality Controls With the Perosphere Technologies' PoC Coagulometer

Start date: April 20, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The Perosphere Technologies' PoC Coagulometer measures clotting times of fresh whole blood samples. Clotting is initiated by glass surface activation and terminates on optical detection of fibrin assembly, the final step in the coagulation cascade. Since activation occurs at the top of the intrinsic pathway and detection occurs at the bottom of the final common pathway, the Perosphere Technologies' PoC Coagulometer has shown sensitivity to a broad range of drugs and reagents that affect blood clotting processes, including the Direct Oral Anticoagulants, DOACs (e.g. rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban), as well as the heparins (e.g. enoxaparin, a low molecular weight heparin, and unfractionated heparin). The purpose of the present study is to characterize the performance of the PoC Coagulometer measuring Clotting Time Controls, as well as fresh whole blood from both healthy volunteers and DOAC patients at three field testing sites.

Impact of Clotting on Dialyzer Efficiency

Start date: May 19, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Coagulation within the dialyzer membrane fibres is an obvious biological sign of bio-incompatibility. To avoid clotting during extracorporeal treatment, an anticoagulant is added to the circuit, resulting in an increased risk for bleeding complications. In addition, there is evidence that a substantial number of fibers can become blocked before this is reflected in routinely observed parameters, or in termination of the dialysis session. Little is known about the impact of such subclinical clotting on dialyzer performance in terms of solute clearance. Membrane clogging may influence both the diffusive and convective transport characteristics of the dialyzer membrane before leading to complete dialyzer clotting. In 2018, we described a method to objectively count the number of blocked fibres inside a dialyzer using a micro-CT scanning technique. In the present trial, we use this method to assess the number of open fibers post dialysis, and this for three different dialysis durations and in two different dialyzer types. Just before the termination of the dialysis session, dialyzer clearance is assessed for different solutes from concentration measurements in blood samples as taken from the dialyzer inlet and outlet line. The aim of this randomized cross-over study is to objectively quantify the impact of blocked fibers on the performance of different dialyzer membranes: ATA™ (asymmetric triacetate) membrane in the Solacea™ dialyzer, and polysulfone membrane in the FX800Cordiax dialyzer, and this with a decreased anticoagulation dose.

NCT ID: NCT04744688 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Postoperative Complications

Changes in Coagulation in Colorectal Cancer Patients Undergoing Surgical Treatment

CONTEST
Start date: March 15, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

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.

Thrombo Embolic Events in Hospitalized Patients With Covid-19 Serious Acute Pneumopathy

THROMBCOVID2
Start date: May 4, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The understanding of haemostasis and inflammation cross-talk has gained considerable knowledge during the past decade in the field of arterial and venous thrombosis. Complex and delicately balanced interaction between coagulation and inflammation involve all cellular and humoral components. Elements of the coagulation system such as activated thrombin, fibrinogen or factor Xa may increase inflammation by promoting the production of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and adhesion molecules that lead to a procoagulant state amplifying the pathological process. Recent evidence supports inflammation as a common pathogenic contributor to both arterial and venous thrombosis, giving rise to the concept of inflammation induced thrombosis. Patients with infection of COVID-19 and severe pneumoniae seem to have higher risk of thromboembolism. The purpose of this project is to analyze hemostasis and coagulation of every hospitalized patient with infection of COVID-19. Blood sample for coagulation and hemostasis analysis will be collected on every patient hospitalized in Amiens hospital for COVID-19 infection. Thrombin time, factors V and II, fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products, antithrombin will be assessed every week. Anticardiolipin, anti-beta2 glycoprotein I and anti-annexin A2 antibodies IgG and IgM at day of admission and at fourth week after admission will be assessed. SARS-CoV2 viral load and serodiagnosis will be performed at the same time. At the same time venous ultrasound to diagnose thrombosis will be performed.
