Filter by:Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has prolonged the survival substantially for selected patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer.Bleeding and thromboembolic disease have been reported as postoperative complications related to this advanced open surgical treatment. However, perioperative changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis are only sparsely reported in the literature.The mainstay of treatment with curative intend of none-advanced colorectal cancer is minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. The approach is considered associated with a lower risk of thromboembolic disease than open surgery. Despite differences in extent of surgery and thromboembolic risk the same extended thromboprophylaxis regimen for 28 days is currently prescribed to patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC as well as minimally invasive rectal cancer resection. This study aims to investigate all parts of the coagulation system and fibrinolysis, and thereby thromboembolic risk and potential bleeding in two groups of patients with different extent of surgical trauma: 1) Colorectal cancer patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC and 2) rectal cancer patients undergoing minimal invasive rectal cancer resection. Our hypothesis is that patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC are exposed to more aggravated alterations of coagulation and fibrinolysis than patients undergoing minimally invasive rectal cancer resection.
Investigators are building an empirical evidence base for real world data through large-scale replication of randomized controlled trials. The investigators' goal is to understand for what types of clinical questions real world data analyses can be conducted with confidence and how to implement such studies.

Researchers were looking for another way to treat people with a blood clot in their veins. Before a treatment can be approved for people to take, researchers do clinical trials to better understand its safety and how it behaves. In this trial, the researchers learned how a new liquid form of rivaroxaban behaved compared to the tablet form in a small number of healthy participants. They also wanted to find out how safe it was. The trial included about 30 white men who were between the ages of 18 and 55. The participants also had a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 29.9 kilograms per square meter (kg/m^2). BMI is a measurement that uses a person's height and weight to learn how much body fat they have. All the participants in this trial took 10 milliliter of the new form of rivaroxaban (containing 1 milligram [mg] of rivaroxaban per milliliter). Later they also took 10 mg of the current tablet form of rivaroxaban. They took each form 1 time by mouth. This trial was a "crossover" trial. In a crossover trial, all the participants take all of the treatments, but in a different order. In between the 2 treatments, there was a "washout period" of at least 7 days. This was done so that the first treatment could leave each participant's body before they took their next treatment. While taking each treatment, the participants stayed at the trial site for 5 days. During this time, they did not eat food for at least 10 hours before and at least 4 hours after taking each treatment. After taking the last treatment, the participants had a final visit about 7 to 14 days later. During the trial, the doctors took blood and urine samples. They also did physical examinations and checked the participants' heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG). They asked the participants questions about how they were feeling and if they had any medical problems.
Rationale Many patients with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) need hospital admission for oxygen supplementation. A substantial number of patients need intensive care unit (ICU) admission for escalation of care. ICU doctors and nurses are struggling to provide the best care for patients with COVID-19. Practice of adjunctive and supportive treatments remains uncertain. Objective To determine and compare practice of adjunctive and supportive treatments for COVID-19 in the Netherlands, and to determine their independent associations with outcome. Hypotheses Practice of adjunctive and supportive treatments for COVID-19 varies substantially. Adjunctive and supportive treatments have an independent association with outcome in ICU patients with COVID-19. Study design National/international, multicenter, retrospective observational study. Study population Intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19. Methods In this study we will collect data on diverse treatments during the first 28 days in ICU, including (a) the types of oxygen support* and awake prone positioning; (b) the types of ventilatory support, (c) rescue therapies for refractory hypoxemia during invasive ventilation (prone positioning, ventilator adjustments, continuous muscle paralysis, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation); (d) adjunctive treatments, including thromboprophylaxis and anticoagulation, antiviral and immunomodulating therapies, and (e) experimental supportive treatments. Outcomes include duration of each adjunctive treatment, duration of ventilation, incidence of tracheostomy, duration of stay in ICU and mortality until day 90. Study endpoints A combination of adjunctive treatments, including types of oxygen support, ventilatory support and rescue therapies for refractory hypoxemia during invasive ventilation (primary), other adjunctive and supportive treatments, tracheostomy rate; duration of ventilation and ventilator-free days and alive at day 28 (VFD-28), duration of ICU and hospital stay, and ICU, hospital and 90-day mortality. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness Retrospective collection of data regarding adjunctive treatments, and clinical endpoints is without risk for ICU patients. *In a subset of patients we will collect granular data (every two hours) regarding oxygenation (FiO2, inspiratory tidal volume, air flow, respiratory rate, SpO2, PaO2, and PEEP) over the first 2 full calendar days of ICU admission. The primary endpoint of this sub-analysis will be the amount of oxygen used with different respiratory support interventions. The statistical analysis plan for the analysis of these data that were collected in two ICUs that participated in the national study, and one additional ICU in Spain is uploaded in the document section (filename Statistical Analysis Plan PROXY-COVID)
Acute mesenteric artery thromboembolism(AMT) is one of the important causes of acute abdomen and intestinal necrosis. If the intestinal blood supply is not restore in time, the prognosis of the disease is often poor and even endangers the life of the patient. Through laparoscopic surgery combined with modern minimally invasive endovascular technology, the blood supply of patients' intestine is restored. Observe the perioperative vascular patency rate, all-cause mortality, and the probability of short bowel syndrome. Through the hybrid operating room, we want to seek a multidisciplinary collaborative treatment mode to improve the long-term survival rate of such patients with enough intestines and completely free from TPN, and improve the prognosis of these patients.
The Michelle trial is expected to provide high-quality evidence around the role of extended thromboprophylaxis in COVID-19 and will help guide medical decisions in clinical practice.
The WHITE study is a multicenter, multinational, investigators-initiated, observational, prospective study conducted in a consecutive series of ambulatory patients who had completed the recommended or practicable period of anticoagulation after a first-ever episode of venous thromboembolism (VTE) The general aim of the study is to evaluate the distribution of decisions and of the reasons guiding the physician's decision on the modality to manage the secondary prevention of VTE in patients treated for a first-ever episode of VTE, after the initial 3-12 months of anticoagulant therapy.
This is a Phase 2 safety and tolerability trial that will take place in two parts. Part one of the trial will determine the tolerability of the OsciPulse device on healthy subjects who wear the device for up to three hours. Healthy volunteers will answer questionnaires and may undergo an ultrasound test at the end of their participation in the trial. Part two of the trial will determine the safety and tolerability of the OsciPulse device on subjects admitted to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. Eligible subjects will be enrolled for 6 hours. In the first 3 hours, subjects will wear the standard of care intermittent pneumatic compression device or the OsciPulse device. In the second 3 hours, the subject's device will be switched and subjects will wear the alternate device not used in the first 3 hours. Subjects will answer questionnaires and may undergo an ultrasound at the end of the first 3 hours and at the end of the second 3 hours (at hour 6).
