Active clinical trials for "Venous Thrombosis"

Hypothesis to be tested: placement of a central venous catheter will induce a systemic hypercoagulable state. To determine this, the investigators will measure thromboelastography (TEG), PT(prothrombin time), PTT (partial thromboplastin time), Prothrombin Fragment 1.2, Factor VIII, and VonWillebrand's Factor. In addition, duplex ultrasound will be performed to correlate the laboratory coagulation values with functional changes (i.e. deep venous thrombosis).

Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the need for thromboprophylaxis in patients with a fracture of the lower extremity being treated conservatively in a below-knee plaster cast and to assess if both of the two tested prophylactic treatments are effective for this indication. Hypothesis: Nadroparine and Fondaparinux are both effective in preventing a thromboembolic event in patients with a nonsurgical fracture of a lower extremity immobilised in a below-knee plaster cast.

The investigators aim to assess the overall accuracy of D-dimer values and FXIII activation peptide (FXIII-AP), using a newly developed ELISA test, to exclude CVT in patients with clinical suspicion of CVT.

Venous thrombosis is the development of a blood clot in a vein. Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a painful condition that can develop following a venous thrombosis in one of the deep veins of the leg. While PTS is mainly thought to occur because of damage to the vein, other factors may be responsible for the development of this condition. This study will analyze genetic and biologic samples from participants of a previous study to examine other possible causes of venous diseases and PTS.

Venous thromboembolism is prevalent, associated with a high degree of morbidity and mortality, and largely preventable. External mechanical compression is a standard of care for prevention, but compliance with traditional external mechanical compression devices is low due to patient reported issues with comfort, mobility, usability, noise, and sleep disturbances. The purpose of this study was to compare user-rated comfort, mobility, usability, noise, perceived sleep disturbance, and objective sleep disturbance for a novel external lower limb mechanical compression device as compared to a standard sequential compression device. Using a 2-day counterbalanced, within-subject repeated-measures design, 16 participants wore two mechanical compression devices, the commonly-used Kendall sequential compression device Express 9525 and the novel Recovery Force Movement and Compressions Device for 1 night each in their home while sleep was recorded with polysomnography. For each device, participants also completed questionnaires to assess usability, mobility, perceived noise disturbance, and perceived sleep disturbance.

The trial used single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose ascending study. The trial planned to enroll fifty-six healthy volunteers. The subjects were allocated to eight dose groups, including 0.5 mg (3+1), 1 mg (3+1), 2.5 mg (6+2), 5 mg (6+2), 10 mg (6+2), 20 mg (6+2), 35 mg(6+2) and 50 mg (6+2). Each dose group was allocated test drugs and placebos according to the proportion of subjects in the brackets mentioned above.

Venous thromboembolic disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The purpose of the RAPID registry is to collect information on the Angiovac procedure and Angiovac device used in the treatment of deep venous thrombosis (DVT), right heart pathology and pulmonary embolism.

To see whether our increased dosing regimen of unfractionated heparin (UF) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in COVID-19 patients was effective at preventing thrombo-embolic complications. We did regular anti-Xa tests to optimise the dose of our thromboprophylaxis. Furthermore, we want to examine the time it takes to reach adequate anti-Xa levels, to determine additional risk factors and do a subgroup analysis. Lastly, we will study if there are possible complications of our thromboprophylactic therapy.

The overall goal of the VVIRTUOSO study is to determine the incidence of VTE including symptomatic DVT and PE after hospital discharge in patients with COVID-19 by implementing a pragmatic patient-centred prospective virtual VTE monitoring program in Canada and the United States.

the investigators hypothesize that some of these polymorphisms contribute to VTE risk in women using COC, and that their screening could to help assess individual risk of VTE before COC prescription. In order to test this hypothesis the investigators propose to build a predictive score for VTE in women using COC based on clinical and biological factors. To this end the investigators have a large case study (including 766 patients) recruited at the "Centre d'Exploration des Pathologies Hémorragiques et Thrombotiques" (CEHT) of the laboratory of Hematology (La Timone Hospital, Marseille) between 2003 and 2013. The cases had a personal history of documented VTE while using COC (PILGRIM study). A great number of clinical and biological relevant phenotypes in the field of VTE have already been collected (including 14 polymorphisms selected on the basis of their biological plausibility and the existence association studies).To our knowledge it is the largest study specifically conducted in order to assess genetic factors associated with VTE in women using COC. These 766 cases will be compared to 766 controls from the general population (cohort Nutrinet-Santé). Then, the predictive values of the score will be assessed in an independent multicentric validation study that the investigators will set up in the field of this project. Our study should allow a better understanding of the genetic and environmental factors involved in VTE related to COC use. Besides, this project aims to respond to a major public health issue giving an effective tool for the decision of prescribing COC.
