Filter by:Stroke is a major cause of morbidity in western society, and an infrequent complication of cardiac surgery. The majority of thromboembolic strokes arise from the left atrium, in particular the left atrial appendage. This study aims to assess the short-term effects of left atrial appendage ligation in terms of postoperative clinical and biochemical parameters; and the long-term effects of left atrial appendage ligation in terms of stroke incidence.
There is a direct association between cancer and thrombosis (blood clots). The purpose of this study is to determine the best dose of an antithrombotic (prevents blood clots) agent called fondaparinux in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Patients will also receive chemotherapy.
The clinical study will collect data to verify the safety and performance of the Cook Celect Filter in the prevention of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with a temporary or permanent high risk of thromboembolism.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Anticoagulants, such as dalteparin, may help prevent blood clots from forming in patients being treated with gemcitabine for pancreatic cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well gemcitabine works with or without dalteparin in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
More than 5 years ago the DVT FREE Registry was conceived. Its database consists of 5,451 ultrasound-confirmed DVT patients from 183 institutions. This database is rich in information of critical importance to health care providers. The information contained within the database will be revisited to provide more detailed analyses which will be used for risk factor assessment and for decision-making regarding the implementation of VTE Prophylaxis.
This study is designed to provide efficacy and safety data for certoparin in the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism in immobilized, acutely ill medical patients.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven, superiority study for efficacy. Patients with confirmed symptomatic DVT (deep vein thrombosis) or PE (pulmonary embolism) who completed 6 or 12 months of treatment with rivaroxaban or VKA (vitamin K antagonist) are eligible for this trial (Einstein-Extension study).
RATIONALE: Chemotherapy may cause blood clots to form in the thigh, leg, and lung. This study may help doctors understand how often blood clots occur in patients undergoing chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how often blood clots occur in patients undergoing chemotherapy for solid tumors, including colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, or metastatic breast cancer
Evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating oral doses of YM150 in patients undergoing elective primary total knee replacement surgery
The study drug, BAY59-7939, is a new drug currently being tested in the prevention of VTE. It directly inhibits factor Xa, a blood component in the pathway which leads to coagulation (clotting of blood cells). It is available as a tablet. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of BAY59-7939 with the safety and efficacy of the licensed drug Enoxaparin. Enoxaparin, a so-called low molecular heparin, is approved and widely used in the area of thromboprophylaxis and will be given once daily subcutaneously. In this study 4 different doses of the investigational drug BAY59-7939 will be tested in comparison to Enoxaparin. You will receive during the study either one of the following BAY59-7939 treatments or Enoxaparin. The following doses of BAY59-7939 will be tested: Dose I ; Dose II, Dose III, Dose IV. This study will run for approximately 7 months in a number of countries. In total, up to 600 patients may participate in this study.
