Filter by:The objectives of this clinical trial are to 1) determine the effect of the TP compared to placebo on blood flow and platelet aggregation, 2) to determine the effect of the TP on cardiovascular health compared to a placebo and 3) to assess the safety and tolerability of the TP in healthy adults.
This phase 2 study will include patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus and will first study their response to enteric coated aspirin at a dose of 80 mg per day for a 7-day period. Participants with an incomplete platelet inhibition after exposure to EC aspirin at doses of 80 mg once daily will be randomized to a random order of 3 different ASA regimens: EC ASA 162 mg once daily, EC ASA 81 mg twice daily and chewable ASA 40 mg twice daily. The aims are to determine the feasibility of a larger scale trial, and to determine the regimen associated with the lowest proportion of non-responders after randomization. Platelet function will be assessed at baseline and at day 7 of each arms of the study.
The transfusion risk and clinical knowledge (TRACK) allogeneic blood transfusion prediction model was developed more than ten years ago and demonstrated good discriminative ability in patients with increased risk for allogeneic blood transfusion in an all Italian population. At the time of derivation, dual anti-platelet medication was suggested in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome, but not yet fully implemented. The aim of this study is to externally validate the TRACK blood transfusion prediction model in the cardiac surgery population of Medisch Spectrum Twente Thoraxcentrum Twente. Additionally, the impact of adding the preoperative use of dual anti-platelet medication, as additional predictive factor, to the TRACK blood transfusion prediction model will be investigated.
Platelets are essential blood elements to maintain hemostasis. Quantitative or qualitative defects can be responsible of hemorrhagic (platelet disorders) or thrombotic (heparin induced thrombocytopenia [HIT]) troubles. Diagnosis of these pathologies is sometimes urgent and consists in delicate platelet functional assays that are mostly made in expert centers. These platelets functional assays measure platelets activation and/or aggregation in response to diverse inductors and may lack sensitivity. The investigators would like to propose a new diagnostic tool with the use of imaging flow cytometry which provides much more information than classic cytometer on cell morphology thanks to images collected by the optical channel of the ImageStream cytometer. The use of this cytometer offers an innovative approach. This study is a monocentric prospective and non-interventional study. The investigators will analyze patient samples with the ImageStream cytometer and reference laboratory tests (light transmission aggregometry and serotonin release assay) in parallel and compare results from the different techniques. This new diagnostic technique will demonstrate a non-inferiority diagnosis compared to reference tests and maybe a better sensibility.
The purpose of this study is to determine the range of expected PRUTest values in patients in the intended use population receiving dual antiplatelet treatment with aspirin and prasugrel (Effient®), or ticagrelor (Brilinta®).
The specific goal of this study is to determine whether the individualized approach and adjusting the dosage of the P2Y12 receptor inhibitors will improve the platelet inhibiton and the clinical outcome in patients with an ACS, that were treated with PCI and the aforementioned drugs, but with an increased initial residual platelet activity. It is expected that the patients that have undergone the P2Y12 inhibitor therapy adjustment (according to the platelet reactivity measured by POC devices) will have better clinical outcomes (ie less ischemic events, without a significant increase in bleeding events) than those who did not undergo the therapy adjustment.
Coagulation disorders and thrombocytopenia are common in patients with septic shock. Despite the clinical relevance of sepsis-induced thrombocytopenia, few studies have focused on the prediction of thrombocytopenia in this setting. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether platelets aggregometry and markers of platelets activation, such as mean platelet volume or platelet volume distribution width, could predict sepsis-induced thrombocytopenia in patients with septic shock and normal platelet count on the day of diagnosis.
This is a multi-center convenience sample prospective study comparing the results of the Verify Now® Aspirin Test and PRUTest® Platelet Reactivity Tests with the Japan investigational reagents to reagents registered in Japan in the expected population receiving aspirin (ASA) and the P2Y12 inhibitor clopidogrel.
The investigators have previously observed a reduced level of platelet aggregation 2 hours after healthy male individuals were asked to drink extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) that provided a higher level of one specific phenolic known as oleocanthal. This study will help the investigators further determine the effects of oleocanthal-rich EVOO intake on platelet function at 2, 4 and 6 hours after intake with food compared to platelet function in the morning after an overnight fast.
The primary aim is to describe platelet function in adult patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). A clarification of the platelet function in these critically ill patients contributes to an understanding of the mechanisms underlying their coagulopathy. The present study is a substudy to the study entitled; "Coagulopathy During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation" (pending Clinical Trial ID number).
