Filter by:This is a prospective cohort study of 30 patients who are 8-21 years of age with venous thromboembolism (VTE)- either lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE).
Design: U.S.-based, single-center, randomized placebo-controlled trial. Brief Treatment Description: Low-intensity apixaban (2.5mg twice daily) for extended-duration secondary prevention of VTE after initial treatment for provoked VTE. Purpose: To establish the safety and efficacy of low-intensity apixaban versus placebo for extended prevention of recurrence after provoked VTE in patients with at least one persistent provoking factor. Population: Outpatients with provoked VTE with at least one persistent provoking factor. Enrollment: 600 subjects Randomization: 1:1 Clinical Site Locations: 1 center (Brigham and Women's Hospital) Study Duration: 36 months; enrollment period of up to 20 months with 12-month follow-up. Primary Safety and Efficacy Outcomes: Primary Safety Outcome: International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) major bleeding at 12 months. Primary Efficacy Outcome: Symptomatic, recurrent VTE, defined as the composite of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism at 12 months. Secondary Efficacy Outcome: The composite of death due to cardiovascular cause, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stroke or systemic embolism, critical limb ischemia, or coronary or peripheral ischemia requiring revascularization (major adverse cardiovascular events, including major adverse limb events) at 12 months. Follow-Up: Follow-up will consist of Electronic Health Record (EHR) review at 12-months from study enrollment. Interim Analysis: An interim analysis for the primary safety and efficacy outcomes will be performed when 300 subjects have completed 12-month follow-up.
Deep venous thrombosis(DVT) is a blood clot, usually affecting the legs, causing pain, swelling, and redness. The clot damages the veins, which can result in chronic pain, swelling and ulceration. This is called the post-thrombotic syndrome, which impacts heavily on patients' life and work. If the clot dislodges and travels to the lungs, it becomes a pulmonary embolus (PE), which can be life threatening. Together, DVT and PE affect 500,000 people in Europe every year, representing the most common cause of hospital acquired death. They are expensive diseases due to the cost of treatment and the days lost from people being unable to work. DVT is diagnosed by clinical examination, risk scoring and a blood test called D dimer, a product of the clot. If negative, it is unlikely that DVT is present. However, many conditions can raise D-dimer levels, making it less useful when positive. Ultrasound can confirm the presence of clot but often this is not seen. The clot can take time to form and patients may not experience symptoms immediately. This is a problem for treatment, as new, clot-busting medication works best in the first 2 weeks after a DVT and it is difficult to tell when the clot formed. Metabonomics is highly sensitive technology that detects very small chemicals; it is being used successfully in cancer and is a tool that can help better understand DVT and generate new tests to help patients. Previous departmental work has shown that a chemical difference exists in patients with DVT. The aim of this study is to not only confirm the presence of these chemicals in a different group of DVT patients, but also to calculate chemical concentrations. This will improve the investigator's understanding of how DVT develops and provide a way to develop a test that is better than D-dimer.
To compare IJV and SCV as the implantation site of TIVAD and its associated thrombotic or occlusion rate, our study plans to enroll 240 patients with cancer who require central line TIVADs and randomizes them with 1:1 ratio to receive the TIVAD implantation at SCV or IJV. After the implantation, the patients will be regularly followed through phone contact and chart review for 2 years, and any symptomatic thrombosis or occlusion will be found during chemotherapy injection or regular push-pull heparin saline flush every 6 weeks as our hospital care protocol. To detect any asymptomatic thrombosis, the patients will also receive screening vascular ultrasound at 2 weeks, 2 months, and 6 months postoperatively. The study primary endpoints include any infection, asymptomatic thrombosis found by screen ultrasound, and clinically symptomatic thrombosis or occlusion and major mechanical failure/dislocation of TIVAD.
P5.fi study - P4 together with a fifth 'P' and '.fi' for population health Finally Implemented in Finland - studies the value of returning genetic and metabolomic risk information in two diseases (coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes) and one feature (venous thromboembolism). The hypothesis of the study is that 1) combining genetic and metabolic risk with traditional risk factors adds value to the personal risk assessment of these diseases, 2) such risk information can be provided to individuals using a web based user portal in an easily understandable and useful format, and 3) receiving genetic and metabolomic risk information has an effect on the health of the study participants. The study is a continuation of FinHealth 2017 -study, which involved more than 7,000 Finns from around the country. The participants of FinHealth were invited to participate in P5.fi -study. The new research utilises information, samples, and measurements obtained in the FinHealth Study. Prospective clinical significance of selected genetic and metabolomic risk scores will be studied in 30.000 Finnish individuals. The study will analyze the genetic and metabolomic profile of the P5.fi participants and develop and test a protocol for returning them health related risk information. The impact of the intervention will by followed up by questionnaires and national health registers for five years.
Evaluate real world patient outcomes after treatment of acute, subacute, and chronic proximal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with the ClotTriever Thrombectomy System.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the ability of new D-Dimer assay combined with a clinical pretest probability (PTP) to safely exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) or Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT) in a 3 month follow-up.
The objective of the study is to demonstrate the superiority of the mesoglycan (Prisma®), compared to placebo, in reducing the incidence of thromboembolic complications (relapse / extension of superficial venous thrombosis (SVT), deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE)) in patients who have completed the cycle of therapy of the acute phase after superficial vein thrombosis.
Patients with cirrhosis of viral etiology (HCV/HBV); Patients with cirrhosis of any other etiology (alcohol, idiopatic, autoimmune). Planned Number of cirrhotic subjects 200 patients Inclusion Criteria Subjects (18 yr old) with liver cirrhosis of any etiology, Exclusion Criteria All patients should not have hepatocellular carcinoma or other malignant tumors, they should not be treated with anticoagulant / antiplatelet agents, not affected by PVT already diagnosed and not suffering from congenital coagulation disorders (haemophilia A / B, von disease Willebrand, another congenital deficiency of coagulation factors) or severe thrombocytopenia (<30,000 Plt / μL). Subject has participated in another clinical study within 30 days prior to study enrollment or is scheduled to participate in another clinical study on cirrhosis Primary Objective To describe the prospective modification of ADAMTS-13 level and other coagulation variables (e.g. FVIII, VWF:Ag/VWF:act) in cirrhotic patients during 18 months from the enrolment and to verify their predictive role as biomarker of development of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) Secondary Objectives To describe prospectively the modification of ADAMTS-13 level as a function of the etiology of cirrhosis Statistical analysis The total duration of the study will be of 12 months. The sample size of 200 subjects will be selected as a feasible number of patients to be recruited in a period of six months. The patients will be consecutively enrolled and followed for 18 months. As a result, in a follow up period of 18 months about 20-25 cases of PVT are expected. Continuous variables will be expressed as means ± standard deviations. In addition to descriptive statistics (location parameters), univariate analysis will be performed on each parameter and development of PVT during the follow up period. In previous observational studies both 1) a reduced PV flow [prospectively] and 2) a reduction of ADAMTS-13 are significantly associated with PVT. These associations will be investigated prospectively and analyzed simultaneously by a multivariate analysis and ROC curve to establish the sensitivity and specificity of these parameters as predictors of PVT development. Analyses will be performed using available data
