Active clinical trials for "Postthrombotic Syndrome"

The standard or usual treatment for patients diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism is treatment with blood thinners (called anticoagulants). While treatment of blood clots with blood thinners is effective, some research has shown that adding a statin (medication used to lower cholesterol) may give extra protection. It is thought that statins can improve how cells along the walls of the vein control inflammation, which can prevent new blood clots from forming. The medication in this study, rosuvastatin, is approved in Canada for use as a cholesterol-lowering medication. The use of rosuvastatin in this study is considered investigational. This means that Health Canada has not approved the use of rosuvastatin as a treatment for blood clots. However, it has been approved for use in this research study. The purpose of this study is to examine if adding a statin (rosuvastatin) to the usual blood thinner treatment will decrease the risk of another blood clot forming. The investigators also hope to discover if taking a statin reduces damage to your veins. To do this, some of the participants in this study will get rosuvastatin and others will receive a placebo (a substance that looks like the study rosuvastatin but does not have any active or medicinal ingredients). The placebo in this study is not intended to have any effect on your blood clot. A placebo is used to make the results of the study more reliable.

The project will highlight the potential benefit of endovascular therapy on post thrombotic syndrome reduction after proximal iliac DVT. There is actually not real standard of care for the treatment of this pathology. A clear evidence of efficacy of endovascular therapy will be of great benefit for both the patients and the healthcare system, and will provide new data for further international guidelines

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of image-guided, endovascular therapy (EVT) is an effective strategy with which to reduce Post Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) disease severity and improve quality of life in patients with established disabling iliac-obstructive post thrombotic syndrome (DIO-PTS).

The objective of the study is to conduct a Bayesian randomized trial comparing non-elastic compression garments applied with high pressure (Circaid group) with no compression (control group) in reducing signs and symptoms in the acute stage of DVT and subsequent postthrombotic syndrome. With a hypothesis that the Circaid group will present a quicker and more marked reduction of pain and leg swelling in the acute stage of DVT, as well as a 20% decrease in the frequency of postthrombotic syndrome within six months from the time of diagnosis of the acute deep vein thrombosis episode.

In this randomized controlled trial (RCT), the investigators will determine whether a 6-month course of oral Micronized Purified Flavonoid Fraction (MPFF 1000 mg daily), compared with placebo, improves the symptoms and signs of the post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and quality of life (QOL) at 6 months follow-up.

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).

The goal of this pilot study and randomised control trial is to compare a smartphone-based exercise programme to deep venous stenting in patients with Post Thrombotic Syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is exercise as effective as stenting in these patients? What type of exercise is useful in these patients? Can exercise be used to improve the results from surgery? Participants will be split into two groups at random. They will complete a smartphone-based exercise programme or have a deep venous stent. They will do the following tests before and after. Exercise testing Calf muscle strength and function tests Ultrasound of the deep veins Quality of life questionnaires Clinical assessment of their disease They will be compared to healthy volunteers in the pilot study. Investigators will compare exercise to stenting to see if it improves symptoms in these patients. The pilot study will help decide how many patients are needed and what exercise tests will be used for the Randomised control trial.

Chronic obstruction of the iliac veins or inferior vena cava can occur as a result of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or due to extrinsic compression in non-thrombotic iliac vein lesions (NIVLs). This obstruction can manifest as post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) after DVT or as chronic venous disease (CVD) in NIVL. Despite sparse evidence, rates of venous stenting for PTS and NIVLs are increasing. A pragmatic, observer-blind, multi-centre, randomised-controlled trial for adults with CVD secondary to either PTS or NIVLs randomised to either best endovenous therapy (including venoplasty and deep venous stenting) or standard therapy (compression +/- anticoagulation). Included participants will have chronic venous disease (CEAP classification 3 - 6) secondary to proximal deep venous disease. The primary outcome is severity of venous disease at 6 months as ascertained by the Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS).

This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of an interventional strategy using the ClotTriever System to achieve and maintain vessel patency (ClotTriever Intervention Arm) versus conservative medical management using anticoagulation therapy alone (Conservative Medical Management Arm) in the treatment of subjects with symptomatic unilateral iliofemoral DVT. The study will collect data on demographics, comorbidities, details from the DVT diagnosis and treatment, and clinical outcomes through the 6-month follow up visit.

The goal of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability or efficacy of adjunctive treatments (including rosuvastatin 20 mg daily) in combination with standard anticoagulation therapy (Factor Xa inhibitors) in patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The efficacy of adjunctive treatments to prevent the development of post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) after DVT will be evaluated.
