Clinical Trial Summary

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a rare but potentially serious complication of heparin therapy. , argatroban is the alternative anticoagulant of choice in patients with suspected HIT and renal impairment, high bleeding risk or risk of invasive surgery/gesture. Despite its increasing use in these fragile patients, methods for biological monitoring of argatroban's anticoagulant activity are heterogeneous, and neither the therapeutic zone nor the modalities for argatroban dosage adjustment are clearly defined, particularly in patients in the acute phase of thrombosis. Soluble fibrin monomers (FM) indirectly reflect thrombin generation in vivo. This marker could thus represent a new strategy for monitoring the anticoagulant activity of argatroban. However, the effect of argatroban anticoagulation on FM levels remains unknown. In a preliminary retrospective study carried out at Bichat hospital, we showed that FM levels could therefore be an early marker of the efficacy of argatroban treatment in patients with suspected HIT.In order to confirm these results, we will include patients with clinico-biological suspicion of HIT and receiving argatroban treatment. Ten French laboratories will participate in this study. All plasmas collected will be from samples taken only in the context of care. This prospective study will determine whether the daily monitoring of FM is beneficial for the management of patients treated with argatroban.


Clinical Trial Description

The study plan to set up a multicenter biobank of plasmas from patients treated with argatroban for suspected HIT in 10 French hematology laboratories (Dijon, Nantes, Tours, Lille, Bordeaux, Nancy, St Etienne, Lariboisière, Rennes, Bichat) that have agreed to participate in this study and have expertise in the management of these patients. All centers adapted the dose of argatroban to its activity, using a test to measure its concentration (TTd or ECT). Some centers adapt the argatroban dose in addition to the anti-IIa activity on FMs, while others do not. Patient recruitment : Patients will be recruited over a 1-year period starting in end of 2023. All patients with suspected HIT for whom argatroban therapy is initiated will be included, including patients on ECMO. Plasma from tube ends will be frozen (minimum 2 aliquots of 400 µL) in each center. FMs will be measured daily in centers adapting argatroban dosage to FMs. In other centers, FMs will be measured either daily on fresh plasma or a posteriori on frozen plasmas. Sampling procedure : All samples are taken as part of the treatment. No additional tubes will be taken specifically for research purposes. - D0: A sample will be taken just before starting argatroban, until D-2 before starting argatroban treatment. - D1: A sample will be taken at least 4 hours after the start of treatment - D2 to D8: A sample will be taken daily at least 4 hours after any dose change (if applicable) - D10 and D14: A sample will be taken at least 4 hours after any dose change (if applicable). In each center: daily plasma storage (2x400 µl minimum) at -80°C. Analyses performed : - on fresh whole blood/plasma: blood cell count, aPTT, fibrinogen, anti-IIa activity, D-dimer for all centers.
