Filter by:Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common and potentially fatal pathology in France. The risk of recurrence is around 5 to 7% per year. The identification of patients at risk of VTE and its prevention is a real health issue in particular. 50% of MTEV recurrences occur in the absence of a risk situation, suggesting the involvement of specific risk factors for MTEV recurrence that have not been identified to date. In the last ten years, so-called "genome-whole" or "genome wide" association (GWAS) approaches have identified new genetic risk factors for the first episode of VTE. On the other hand, no study has focused on the predictive factors of recurrence. The previous project, conducted from 2012 (NCT02904967), had as its main objective to identify new genes for susceptibility to MTEV recurrence by comparing cases of MTEV recurrence versus controls having had a single episode of MTEV. The MARTHA cohort (1,542 patients) is extremely valuable study material and is one of the few cohorts in the world with genome-wide data in the field of VTE. Follow-up could only be performed in 359 patients, 76 (21%) of whom presented with a new episode of VTE. The objective of this project is to increase the number of patients for whom the investigators will have information on recurrence / non-recurrence of VTE, by querying national registries on the vital status of patients, and possible causes of death. . These new data on the occurrence or not of a new thrombotic episode, will be confronted with the genetic data already available in all the patients in order to identify specific genetic risk factors and potentially predictive of the recurrence of MTEV.
Anticoagulants are used to prevent thrombotic events in patients with predisposing factors. However, the use of such therapies is associated with bleeding complications, which can be a serious safety issue. Thus, it is important to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of such therapies based on data collected in clinical practice in order to generate relevant scientific data that could be used to support clinical and regulatory decisions. This is an open, prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study that aims to prospectively record the clinical history of adult patients receiving anticoagulant treatment, irrespectively of the prescribed drug and the indication for its use.
Patients with cancer are at a significantly increased risk of experiencing a venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE is defined by a blood clot in the leg or lower extremity (deep vein thrombosis) or a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism) and is a leading cause of condition of being diseased and death among cancer patients. The goal of the study is to gather information how often venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in prostate cancer patients in Sweden and how this condition is treated with blood thinners.
This prospective cohort evaluates the longitudinal profile of hemostatic biomarkers during the first 3 months after having stopped a combined oral contraceptive.
Open and multicenter randomized clinical trial (1:1) comparing limited screening with extended screening with the performance of Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scan in the search for neoplasms in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolic disease at high risk of developing cancer at follow-up. Introduction: Cancer screening in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) is controversial. In the last years, a score has been developed that selects patients at high risk of developing cancer during follow-up. Objective: To estimate the impact of an active cancer search strategy using 18-fluordesoxiglucose (FDG) PET-CT in unprovoked VTE with high-risk to develop cancer. Specific Objectives: 1) Number of neoplasms diagnosed in the screening process: 2) number of neoplasms diagnosed at an early stage, 3) impact on survival of the strategy; and 4) impact on the quality of life. Cancer will be considered from 30 days up to 12 months after the diagnosis of VTE. Scope: 20 Spanish hospitals. Design: Open-label, multicentre Randomized clinical trial (1: 1) comparing the performance of PET-CT versus limited screening for cancer. Population: Patients older than 18 years with unprovoked VTE at high risk of presenting cancer at follow-up (≥3 points in the score of Jara-Palomares et al., Chest 2017). Follow-up: 12 months after VTE. Sample: The sample size calculated is 650 patients, to obtain a power of 80%, with a level of significance of 5%, and taking into account a 10% loss of follow-up.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a relatively common disease that effects all age groups and carries significant morbidity and mortality. The initial treatment typically involves both short and long term medication, however when this is not enough to adequately control the disease, surgery is often required. The high morbidity and mortality rates are in part due to the increased rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) which have been shown to develop more frequently in IBD patients compared to the general population. Undergoing abdominal surgery has also been shown to independently increase rates of DVT and PE and since the majority of patients with IBD will undergo surgery at least once in their lifetime, the relative increased risk of developing a VTE is very high. The majority of DVT and PE events in the postoperative IBD population will occur after discharge from hospital and therefore carries significant morbidity and mortality risk in a unmonitored setting. Several studies have demonstrated the benefits and safety of twice daily dosing of oral extended VTE prophylaxis agents in orthopedic and cancer postoperative patients following discharge from hospital. There have been no randomized studies which have evaluated the use of extended postoperative VTE prophylaxis in IBD patients. The purpose of this randomized placebo controlled pilot trial will be to evaluate the efficacy and safety of postoperative VTE prophylaxis in IBD patients following abdominal surgery. If this pilot trial demonstrates efficacy in reducing postoperative DVT and PE rates, safety and feasibility, clinicians will be armed with the knowledge to pursue a larger multicenter randomized trial with the intent of reducing overall morbidity and mortality in this high risk population.
This is a first in human study to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ONO-7684 in healthy adult volunteers. This study will be conducted in 2 parts: Part A is a single-ascending dose and Part B is a multiple-ascending dose.
Despite the rise in prescriptions for direct oral anticoagulants,Vitamin K antagonists(VKA) remains the most prescribed treatment for treating and preventing long-term thromboembolic events. They remain the most important drugs of iatrogenic accidents despite the means deployed by the health authorities. The balance of the patients under VKA can be appreciated thanks to the time spent in the therapeutic zone or TTR which is correlated with the risk of occurrence of haemorrhagic or thrombotic events.
The proposed study will investigate the clinical use of the ISCDX test that may differentiate between diverse stroke etiologies as listed below: Aim 1: Differentiate between cardioembolic and large artery atherosclerotic ischemic strokes, when hemorrhagic stroke is ruled out, as defined by TOAST classification of subtypes of acute ischemic stroke. Aim 2: In cases of ischemic strokes of unknown or "cryptogenic" etiology, determine the ability of biomarker blood tests to predict etiology between cardioembolic and large artery atherosclerotic.
Study objective is to determine whether there is an association between genetic variant risk scores and clinical outcomes (percent time in therapeutic range, time to reach therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR), INR ≥ 4, bleeding event, ischemic stroke, death) in participants taking warfarin for atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and/or intracardiac thrombosis.
