Active clinical trials for "Thrombosis"

The efficacy and safety of anticoagulant treatment is not established for patients with acute symptomatic isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (IDDVT). The latest Antithrombotic Therapy for VTE Disease Guideline suggested using the same anticoagulation as for patients with acute proximal DVT in patients with acute IDDVT. However, a single-center retrospective cohort study found therapeutic anticoagulation was associated with an increase risk of bleeding. Thus, this study aimed to assess the short-term risk of recurrent venous thrombotic events and bleeding events in patients with a first acute symptomatic IDDVT of the leg treated with prophylactic or therapeutic anticoagulant therapy with rivaroxaban.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether the combination of Pembrolizumab and Axitinib given in the neoadjuvant setting can change the Inferior Vena Cava Tumor Thrombus burden. A decrease in the size of the tumor thrombus can potentially lead to decrease in surgical complications, improve patient related health outcomes, and improve long term outcomes such as progression free survival and overall survival.

Left ventricular thrombus is found in 10 to 25% of patients with impaired left ventricular function following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and up to 20% in dilated cardiomyopathy in observational studies. Likewise, the incidence of atrial thrombus among atrial fibrillation patients treated by vitamin K antagonist (VKA) is between 0.25% and 7%. Despite anticoagulant therapy, intra-cardiac thrombus remains a severe complication associated with a high risk of systemic embolism and subsequent mortality but also bleeding events related to the anticoagulation therapy. The class of non-vitamin K antagonist direct oral anticoagulant (DOA) has emerged in the last decades and has systematically surpassed VKA in the different clinical settings by providing at minimum a similar efficacy and a better safety profile. In the absence of randomized study in the specific clinical setting of intracardiac thrombus, international Guidelines recommend, on the basis of expert opinion, the use of VKA for at least 3 to 6 months in case of left ventricular thrombus and there is no specific recommendation for thrombus management from other cardiac localizations. In comparison to VKA, the easier management and the large evidence of better safety of DOA make it an interesting anticoagulant strategy. Data for left ventricule thrombosis treatment are limited and only supported by observational cohorts. However, these recent cohorts have shown promising data in this indication reporting similar thrombus regression following DOA in comparison to VKA and similar ischemic outcomes although no head-to-head comparison would be powered. As a consequence, the multicentric randomized ARGONAUT trial aims to confirm these results and evaluate the impact of DOA compared to VKA on thrombus regression and clinical outcomes among patients with intracardiac thrombus, regardless of the thrombus localization and any underlying heart disease.

The TILE pilot study will be a multicenter, open-label, assessor-blinded RCT (randomized control trial) comparing extended LMWH (Low Molecular Weight Heparin) vs. DOAC (Direct Oral Anticoagulants) to PTS (prevent post thrombotic syndrome) in patients with DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).

To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of SBRT sequential TACE combined with sorafenib versus sorafenib alone in the treatment of unreactable HCC with PVTT.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients is a common disease in the East Asia. During the disease course, 20%-50% patients suffered portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT), which is characterized with poor outcome and low response for treatments. Although BCLC (Barcelona clinical liver cancer) system recommend to palliative targeted treatment, the East Asian countries recommend to resection or transartery chemoembolization (TACE). Recently, FOLFOX (Oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil) based hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) exhibited high response rate for advanced HCC. Pilot study showed TACE combined HAIC (TACE-HAIC) had better tumor response, with low progression disease rate. Whether TACE-HAIC would improve survival for patients with PVTT is need to further to study. A randomized clinical trial compared neo-TACE-HAIC with surgery versus surgery alone is aimed to answer this question.

This study is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter, single-arm, clinical study to evaluate the performance, safety and efficacy of the GORE® VIAFORT Vascular Stent for treatment of symptomatic iliofemoral venous obstruction.

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, blinded endpoint study to evaluate the effect of abelacimab relative to dalteparin on venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and bleeding in patients with gastrointestinal (GI)/genitourinary (GU) cancer associated VTE (Magnolia)

Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is often caused by narrowings in the arteries providing blood to the intestines. Endovascular stent placement is considered the preferred treatment for this condition. Guidelines increasingly support the use of so called covered stents (CS) in stead of bare stents (BMS) for this use but the level of evidence for this is limited. Using CS incur additional costs for healthcare short-term but may prevent recurrence of narrowing and symptoms postoperatively benefitting patients and healthcare. Study Objective: To evaluate the outcomes after stenting of mesenteric arteries using BMS or CS. Study Outcome: Primary stent patency 1 year after placement The trial will also evaluate complications, how often stents need to be reoperated, Quality of Life (QoL) and reasons for subjects death Method: This is a so called prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing CS vs. BMS. This means that one patients have agrred to treatment they will be randomly selected for treatment with either CS or BMS . The stent metal structure is identical in the two implants and the only difference is the graft covering, making this study unique. The study will also collect blood samples for a biobank that will be used to study markers of disease and how these effect treatment outcomes. All patients referred to the Department of Vascular Surgery due to CMI are considered for inclusion if they havechronic symptoms consistent with CMI, significant stenosis or occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery and are > 18 years Subjects not able to provide informed consent or who have non atherosclerotic cause of CMI, signs of acute loss of blood flow to the intestines cannot participate. Previous stent treatment in the superior mesenteric artery, pregnancy, allergies to contrast or stent materials are also reasons for not being included in this trial. Side effects, risks and disadvantages for participants The risk for procedure-related complications is less than 5% and similar in both study groups. Most short-term complications are related to vascular access sites and consist of local bleeding and thrombosis. Other potential complications include impaired renal function due to contrast use, contrast allergy, arterial dissection and death.

This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled, parallel group study, in which ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients with high thrombus burden(TIMI thrombus grade ≥3) are included. Patients are randomized to be treated with or without manual thrombus aspiration(TA) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PPCI) by a ratio of 1:1.
