Filter by:Smart technologies, such as wearable devices, mobile technologies, and artificial intelligence, are being investigated for use in health management. These technologies have the potential to be applied in disease pre-warning, decision-making support, health education, and healthcare maintenance. They are expected to address the challenges in managing thrombosis, improve access to high-quality medical resources in various regions, and enhance the development of a network for thrombosis rescue and treatment prevention. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of mobile venous thromboembolism application (mVTEA) based patient-centered management of venous thromboembolism (VTE) on patients' perceptions of thromboprophylaxis, in order to enhance clinical practice and establish a foundation of evidence for managing patients with VTE.
This study is researching 2 different experimental drugs called REGN9933 and REGN7508 (called "study drugs"). The study is focused on adults undergoing a placement of a catheter in your vein, also called a 'PICC line'. The aim of the study is to see how effective the study drug is at preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) and other related disease after catheter placement. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking the study drug - How much study drug is in your blood at different times - Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)
Cancer patients are burdened by an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. Existing Risk Prediction Models (RPMs), including the widely accepted Khorana Risk Score (KRS), have some limitations when used in certain tumor site populations, such as gynecological cancers. Notably, gynecological patients exhibit a variable risk of VTE based on their specific tumor sites, with ovarian cancer representing the highest risk. Moreover, currently available RPMs lack validation in a broad gynecological population and may fail to effectively stratify VTE risk. GynCAT is a prospective cohort study that will be conducted on female patients with gynecologic malignancies scheduled for systemic antineoplastic treatment. During the screening phase, symptomatic VTE will be excluded, and KRS will be assessed. Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis will be considered and prescribed at clinical judgement, for patients with a KRS score of 3 or higher. Clinical, hematological, biochemical, coagulation, and genetic variables will be collected. Follow-up will last for the entire duration of the antineoplastic treatment line, and VTE events, bleeding events, and mortality will be recorded. The primary objective is the development and validation of an RPM for VTE in gynecologic cancer patients undergoing systemic antineoplastic treatment. Secondary objectives are evaluation of the predictive value of the identified model, comparing it with existing general oncology RPMs; assessment of its performance in predicting mortality; evaluation of VTE incidence in patients with KRS≥3 receiving thromboprophylaxis; identification of risk factors for bleeding in this patient population. The sample size calculation is based on an estimated VTE incidence of 5% over a mean follow-up of 12 months. Hence, a sample size of at least 1,200 patients in the derivation cohort is considered sufficient for the determination of a risk prediction model incorporating up to six predictor variables. A split-sample method will be used, with two-thirds of the study participants randomly assigned to the model derivation cohort (n=1,200) and one-third (n=600) to an independent validation cohort. The total number of patients recruited in the study will thus be of 1,800. A competing risk survival analysis with Fine & Gray model will be used to study the association between prognostic variables and VTE occurrence, considering death as a competitive risk. The RPM will be identified through a bootstrap approach to reduce the risk of overfitting. Discrimination power of the RPM will be assessed using time-dependent Receiving Operating Characteristic curve, and model calibration will be evaluated graphically and with the calculation of relative calibration slopes. In conclusion, this prospective cohort study aims to overcome the limitations of current RPMs in gynecologic cancer patients, improving the accuracy of VTE risk stratification in this population.
A new algorithm derived from only patient age and components of the complete blood count and basic metabolic panel can identify patients discharged from the hospital who may benefit from a blood thinner (called rivaroxaban) to decrease their risk of blood clots, and for whom the risk of bleeding is minimal. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a pop-up alert, which will be seen by clinicians when a discharging patient has been identified as being someone for whom the risk of blood clots is high, but for whom bleeding risk is estimated to be low. The pop-up alert will be enabled in a sequential fashion for each group of hospitals in 1 month blocks. We will look to see if the pop-up alert changes the number of patients who receive rivaroxaban. We will also measure the outcomes of blood clots and bleeding among all discharging patients.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR-2004 injection in preventing postoperative venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing ovarian cancer surgery.
Lower limb trauma requiring immobilization is a very frequent condition that is associated with an increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). The TRiP(cast) score has been developed to provide individual VTE risk stratification and help in thromboprophylactic anticoagulation decision. The recent CASTING study had confirmed that patients with a TRiP(cast) score <7 have a very low risk of VTE and could be safely manage without prophylactic treatment. Conversely, patients with a score ≥ 7 have a high-risk of VTE and require a prophylactic anticoagulant treatment. Low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) have been shown to be effective in this indication. However, in the CASTING study, the 3-month symptomatic VTE rate was 2.6% in this subgroup despite LMWH prophylactic treatment. This result suggests that LMWH are not sufficiently effective in this particular subgroup of high-risk patients. Direct oral anticoagulants, and in particular rivaroxaban, may be an effective and safe alternative to LMWH. In the PRONOMOS study, comparing LMWH with rivaroxaban in patients who had undergone non-major lower limb surgery, the relative risk of symptomatic VTE was 0.25 (95% CI = 0.09 - 0.75) in favor of rivaroxaban 10mg. No significant increase in bleeding was found. In addition, as LMWH treatment requires subcutaneous daily injections, the use of rivaroxaban may positively impact patients' quality of life as well as being effective in medico-economic terms. The aims of this study are to demonstrate that rivaroxaban is at least as effective, easier to use and more efficient than LMWH in patients with trauma to the lower limb requiring immobilisation and deemed to be at risk of venous thromboembolism (TRiP(cast) score ≥ 7). High-risk patients are randomized to receive either rivaroxaban or LMWH. They are followed up at 45 days and 90 days to assess the occurrence of thrombotic events or bleeding, as well as their satisfaction with the treatment received.
This is an observational study in which the data from children with congenital heart disease will be collected and studied. These children will include those who are prescribed rivaroxaban by their doctors after a heart surgery called the Fontan procedure. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a heart problem that some children are born with. It sometimes requires a surgery called the Fontan procedure to improve the blood flow in the body. The Fontan procedure can increase the risk of the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels (called thrombosis), which might lead to death. The study drug, rivaroxaban, is an approved treatment for preventing the formation of blood clots. It is a type of anticoagulant that prevents the blood from clotting by blocking a protein responsible for it. Rivaroxaban can increase the risk of bleeding. A previous study suggested that the number of major bleeding episodes did not differ much while taking rivaroxaban compared to aspirin in children with CHD who had undergone the Fontan procedure. However, there is limited information available for Japanese patients. To better understand the safety and potential risks of this drug in children, more knowledge is needed about the use of rivaroxaban in the real world. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about the occurrence of major bleeding or non-major bleeding in children who were treated with rivaroxaban. Major bleeding is defined as a serious or life-threatening bleeding episode that can have an impact on a person's health and requires medical attention. Non-major bleeding is defined as a type of bleeding that may negatively impact a person's health if not treated. The data will be collected from December 2023 to June 2026. Researchers will observe each participant for up to 30 days after stopping the treatment or for a maximum of 2 years. In this study, only available data from regular health visits will be collected. No visits or tests are required as part of this study. Researchers will use the medical records or interview the children and/or their guardians during regular visits.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Cleaner™ Pro Thrombectomy System for aspiration thrombectomy in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
Patients with genitourinary cancers (ex: bladder, testicular, kidney) are at high risk of developing blood clots if they receive systemic therapy (ex: chemotherapy, immunotherapy). Blood clots cause pain, may require hospitalization and invasive testing, and in some cases cause death. In fact, blood clots are one of the leading causes of death in patients with cancer. Furthermore, patients who develop a blood clot require medication to thin the blood for a prolonged (sometimes indefinite) period of time, and this can disrupt other important cancer treatments. Studies have shown that using low dose blood thinners to prevent blood clots during systemic therapy is effective in some patients with cancer. However very few patients in these studies had genitourinary cancers, therefore physicians in Canada are not sure if recommending blood thinners to patients with genitourinary cancers is useful or safe. Safety is a primary concern because blood thinners may cause bleeding, and patients with genitourinary cancers may have higher risk of bleeding than patients with other types of cancer. The investigators hypothesize that blood thinners are effective and safe for reducing blood clots in patients with genitourinary cancers. The objective of this study is to determine if a large clinical trial testing the effectiveness and safety of low dose blood thinners for preventing blood clots in patients with genitourinary cancers receiving systemic therapy is feasible.
This is an observational study in which only data are collected from participants receiving their usual treatment. The study is done in children under 2 years old with venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE is a condition in which blood clots form in the veins, usually in the leg. This can cause pain and swelling. The clot can also break apart and travel in the blood to the lungs where it can block the blood flow. This can be life threatening. Rivaroxaban is approved for doctors to prescribe to children with VTE, but there is limited information about how it is used, how well it works, and how safe it is in children under 2 years old. Children in this study are already receiving or will receive rivaroxaban or other currently used medicines for VTE from their doctor according to the approved product information. The purpose of this study is to collect information on the pattern of use and safety of rivaroxaban and other standard medicines for VTE in children under 2 years old. The main information that researchers will collect in this study: - Age, gender, and other information about the child and their illness - Type of VTE treatment given to the child - Occurrence of medically important bleeding and its severity Further information that researchers will collect: - Changes in the characteristics of the children given VTE treatment (e.g., changes in the age range of children given VTE treatment) and changes in the treatment pattern for VTE - Return of VTE symptoms - Types of doctors who prescribe VTE treatment and their set-up (e.g., special clinics versus hospitals) Besides this data collection, no further tests or examinations are needed in this study. The data for this study will be collected from electronic health records and health insurance claims data until 2026. Researchers will observe each child during treatment until: - end of the anticoagulation treatment period e.g. discontinuation of all study drugs, - their information is no longer available, or - the study ends.
