Active clinical trials for "Blood Coagulation Disorders"

This study is conducted in Japan. The aim of this registry study is to observe the use of single dose and multi-dose use of eptacog alpha (NovoSeven®) and to compare short-term outcomes, including effectiveness, safety, quality of life and treatment satisfaction with the approved treatments.

To investigate how inflammation, hemostasis, and stress may contribute to neighborhood and individual-level socioeconomic differences in cardiovascular risk.

Objective: The risk of thrombotic complications in critical COVID-19 patients remains extremely high, and multicenter trials failed to prove the survival benefit of escalated doses of low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) in this group. The aim of this study was to develop a pharmacokinetic model of LMWH (nadroparin calcium) according to different stages of COVID-19 severity. Design: The investigators performed a prospective observational study. Patients: Blood samples were obtained from 43 COVID-19 patients that received nadroparin and were treated with conventional oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Setting: The investigators recorded clinical, biochemical, and hemodynamic variables during 72 hours of treatment. The analyzed data comprised 782 serum nadroparin concentrations and 219 anti-factor Xa levels. The investigators conducted population nonlinear mixed-effects modeling (NONMEM) and performed Monte Carlo simulations of the probability of target attainment (PTA) for reaching 0.2-0.5 IU/ml anti-Xa levels in study groups. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: The investigators successfully developed a one-compartment model to describe the population pharmacokinetics of nadroparin in different stages of COVID-19. Conclusions: Different nadroparin dosing is required for patients undergoing mechanical ventilation and ECMO to achieve the same targets as those for non-critically ill patients.

This study is conducted in Japan. The aim of this non-interventional study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of treatment with eptacog alpha (NovoSeven®) when undergoing surgery under normal clinical practice conditions.

Apixaban is a potent, oral, selective reversible direct inhibitor of factor Xa with a favorable efficacy and safety profile in the prevention of non valvular (NV) atrial fibrillation (AF). It has been shown, including by our group, that D-dimers levels (molecular marker of coagulation activity) are predictive of the events (including mortality) in patient with AF independently of the antithrombotic treatment. The aim of the study is to evaluate the changes in plasma levels of biomarkers of coagulation activation: D-dimers, prothrombin fragments F1+2, von Willebrand factor (vWF) and thrombin-antithrombin complexes (TAT) in response to apixaban treatment in patients with NVAF.

New/direct oral anticoagulants (NOAC/DOAC), like apixaban and rivaroxaban, are an interesting alternative to unfractionated or low molecular weight heparin relayed by oral anti-vitamin K anticoagulants (VKA) for the treatment of venous thromboembolism and atrial fibrillation. This new generation of anticoagulants directly inhibit a factor in the blood coagulation pathway and have a wide therapeutic range overcoming several practical issues associated with VKA therapy including the need of routine coagulation monitoring potentially simplifying patient management. However, despite this wide therapeutic range, a large interindividual dose variability related to factors such as age, body surface, smoking, concomitant diseases as well as differences in drug metabolism, could put susceptible patients at risk for uncontrolled bleeding. Both rivaroxaban and apixaban are cleared primarily via cytochrome P450 (CYP) mediated hepatic metabolism, mainly CYP3A, and renal excretion, involving the P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Both CYP3A and P-gp activity show important interindividual variations due to drug interactions and/or genetic polymorphisms in corresponding genes. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the impact of cytochrome activity and relevant polymorphisms on rivaroxaban/apixaban dosage regimen or treatment efficacy in a hospital setting. The safety issue in this context is particularly relevant, since hospitalisation is linked to a modification of the patient's treatment with often an increase in the number of medications. The resulting changes in metabolism due to modified cytochrome and transporter activities could affect rivaroxaban/apixaban blood concentrations. Our central hypothesis is that genotype and/or phenotype in CYP3A4/5/7 or P-gp may influence the rivaroxaban/apixaban plasma concentration and increase the risk of thrombotic or hemorrhagic events. Thus, investigating how the patient's genotype and/or phenotype for CYP3A4/5/7 and P-gp could potentially alter the bio-disponibility of rivaroxaban and apixaban and therefore the risk to develop adverse events or inefficacy would be of particular interest.

Modern crystalloid and colloid solutions are balanced solutions which are increasingly used in perioperative period. However, studies investigating their negative effect on whole blood coagulation are missing. The aim of our study was to assess the effect of modern balanced crystalloid and colloid solutions on whole blood coagulation in vivo using rotational thromboelastometry.

The proposed research seeks to provide insights on the contemporary epidemiology, treatment, and outcomes of VTE, including examining the uptake of new treatment strategies, the efficacy and safety of different anticoagulant options, and the impact of venous thromboembolism on patient-defined outcomes, such as quality-of-life, symptom burden, and treatment satisfaction. This information is crucial to helping clinicians and patients choose between various treatment options for venous thromboembolism in order to achieve the best possible balance between the risks, benefits, and impact on health.

In patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation treated with dabigatran etexilate, the level of adherence will be measured using a questionnaire, the Danish National Prescription Registry and pillcount and will be related to plasma levels of dabigatran measured by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and coagulation assays. The aim of the study is to measure the level of adherence and evaluate the usefulness of different coagulation assays to measure adherence in these patients. Furthermore, the aim is to determine the correlation between the anticoagulant effect of dabigatran using different coagulation assays and plasma levels of dabigatran. Most studies so far have been performed in vitro with plasma samples spiked with dabigatran. In this study the present knowledge from results of coagulation assays in dabigatran spiked plasma samples will be compared to the results of coagulation assays using blood samples from real-life patients.

Oral antigoagulant are used more than 60 years in thrombotic diseases. Even they are indispensable, the haemorragic risk is high.That's why it's the main reason of hospitalization for iatrogeny.The complication's reasons are mainly linked to errors of drug intake, drugs interaction and the lack of understanding the treatment.Moreover, the antiplatelet agglutening treatment is frequently added to anticoagulant treatment.This increases the haemorragic risk.Different means were used to minimize the risk , like INR follow up. The purpose of the study is to evaluate smartphone use to follow the patients'treatment.
