Filter by:Caribbean Hispanics are a population with a disproportionately high prevalence of cardio-metabolic disorders but with a limited expectation of benefits from current pharmacogenetic algorithms derived mainly in subjects of relatively pure ancestry. The investigators focus on warfarin responses to develop urgently-needed DNA-driven prescription guidelines for this population, who have arisen from European, West African and Amerindian genomic origins to produce a highly heterogeneous population. Our project combines admixture analysis and DNA-sequencing with development of more accurate rules for better predictability of warfarin dosing to immediately serve this medically underserved population.
The primary objective of the study is to report adverse events of on-treatment AEs by the treating physicians during a specified 24-month study period in patients with venous thromboembolism at the sentinel site(s) for the National Center of Pharmacovigilance (CNFV) in Mexico.
Patients with cancer have a high risk of deep vein thrombosis which often develops in the veins of the lower limbs. The initial evaluation of clinically suspected deep vein thrombosis includes the estimation of the clinical probability by calculating risk scores such as the Wells score and the measurement of the D-dimer. However, the usefulness and accuracy of the clinical scores and d-dimer test are lower in patients with cancer who often undergo unnecessary (serial) ultrasonography. The aim of the current study is to analyze variables that predict the presence of thrombosis and may improve the accuracy of the Wells score. In addition, various cut-off of the d-dimer will be evaluated with the goal of improving the sensibility and specificity of the test.
This is the first evaluation of edoxaban in pediatric subjects. In this Phase 1 study, a single dose of edoxaban will be given to pediatric subjects who require anticoagulant therapy to see what the body does to the drug (pharmacokinetics) and what the drug does to the body (pharmacodynamics), and to compare if these effects are similar to those observed in adults.
Patients with a history of blood clots are at risk of developing additional clots in the future. Doctors use a tool called a clinical decision rule to tell them how likely it is that a patient has a blood clot and if they should have further testing to look for the clot. This tool may cause doctors to over-diagnosis a recurrent clot because the symptoms may be left over from the previous clot. Correctly diagnosing a recurrent blood clot is very important since there are risks associated with both over-diagnosis and under-diagnosis. If a recurrent blood clot is missed (under-diagnosis) the patient is at risk of death from a clot in the lungs. If blood thinners are prescribed when they are not needed (over-diagnosis), the patient may have to take blood thinners for their lifetime and risk having serious bleeding.
The Theia-study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm management (cohort) study. Consecutive patients with clinically suspected acute, recurrent, ipsilateral, proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the leg, who fulfil all the inclusion criteria and meet none of the exclusion criteria, are eligible for inclusion and will be managed according to the result of a magnetic resonance direct thrombus imaging (MRDTI) of the affected leg. The MRDTI is to be performed and adjudicated within 24 hours of study inclusion. The final treatment decision will be made based on this ruling of the MRDTI. In case of a positive MRDTI signal, patients will be treated with therapeutically dosed anticoagulants or modified in patients with a recurrent DVT on anticoagulant therapy. Patients with a negative MRDTI ruling will be left untreated, or treatment will be remained unadjusted if they are on anticoagulant treatment at inclusion. All patients with negative MRDTI will be subjected to a standardized compression ultrasonography (CUS) within 48 hours after initial presentation. The latter CUS serves as a reference test in case the patient returns with symptoms of ipsilateral recurrence in the future, and will not be used for management decisions at baseline. The study flowchart can be found in Appendix A. All patients will be followed for three months for the occurrence of acute recurrent venous thrombo-embolism (VTE). In case of suspected recurrent VTE, objective testing including either computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) for PE or CUS for DVT will be performed. Additionally, in case of a proven ipsilateral recurrent DVT during follow-up, MRDTI will be repeated.
The primary objective of this multicenter, prospective, single arm clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Angel® Catheter in subjects at high risk of PE, and with recognized contraindications to standard pharmacological therapy (anticoagulation).
To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound accelerated thrombolysis using the EkoSonic® Endovascular System with standard infusion of thrombolytic drug for post-thrombotic syndrome from chronic venous occlusion.
The protocol is a large registry to describe acute, sub-acute and extended duration of anticoagulation management, clinical and economic duration of anticoagulation management, clinical and economic outcomes in patients with treated acute VTE (DVT and PE) in the real-world setting. Main objectives are to clarify the: - treatment related details for acute VTE (either conventional anticoagulation therapy, treatment with a direct oral anti-coagulant or other modalities of treatment) - Rate of early and late symptomatic VTE recurrence - Rate and nature of complications of VTE including post thrombotic syndrome and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension - Rate of bleeding complications - Rate of all-cause mortality at six months
Numerous studies have demonstrated excellent diagnostic accuracy of Compression Ultrasonography (CUS) performed by hospitals doctors, skilled and unskilled in Radiology. Recently, it was demonstrated that adequately ultrasonography-trained General Practitioners (GP) can perform reliable ultrasound to increase the speed and improve the quality of clinical management of various clinical conditions. To date, in the medical literature there are no studies that demonstrate the diagnostic accuracy of GP in performing CUS for the diagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). Therefore, we plan to perform a prospective, multicenter, cohort study in which a large number of consecutive outpatients with symptoms or signs of DVT are subject to the CUS by the GP with the aim of evaluating the precision and the diagnostic accuracy compared to specialists in vascular ultrasound, which in this case will be the standard of reference.
