Active clinical trials for "Thromboembolism"

Comparative trials of urokinase (UK) for 12 hours（UK-12h）or 24 hours (UK-24h) have produced similar results in acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) thrombolysis. It is unclear whether the infusion time can be reduced further. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of weight adjusted dosage of UK-2h (20 000 IU/Kg) regime with the Uk-12h regime in selected patients with PTE in Chinese population.

This is a pilot study to evaluate safety of fondaparinux and enoxaparin in terms of bleeding and development of thrombocytopenia in the medical ICU population.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of dalteparin vs unfractionated heparin for the prevention of VTE (Venous Thromboembolism) in hospitalized acutely ill medical patients.

The clinical study will collect data to verify the safety and performance of the Cook Celect Filter in the prevention of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with a temporary or permanent high risk of thromboembolism.

RATIONALE: Fondaparinux may help prevent blood clots from forming in patients who are undergoing surgery for gynecologic cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well fondaparinux works in preventing blood clots in patients undergoing surgery for gynecologic cancer.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether rivaroxaban is safe to use in children and how long it stays in the body. Safety will be assessed by looking at the incidence and types of bleeding events. There will also be a check for worsening of blood clots.

This research study is evaluating a drug called isoquercetin to prevent venous thrombosis (blood clots), in participants who have pancreas, non small cell lung cancer or colorectal cancer.

This study plans to learn more about the role of 2 blood tests in predicting who might develop a blood clot in their arm or leg after major surgery. The investigators know that patients who have cancer and major surgery have a higher than normal risk of getting blood clots in the veins of their arms or legs. This can be very dangerous because the clot can move into your lungs.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the EKOS EkoSonic® Endovascular Device when used in conjunction with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) as a treatment for acute PE will decrease the ratio of right ventricle (RV) to left ventricle (LV) diameter within 48 =/- 6 hours in participants with massive or submassive PE.

Experiments suggest that during treatment with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) the activity of coagulation factors (F) II and X better reflect anticoagulation than does FVII. Based on this a new prothrombin time based monitoring test (Fiix-PT) has been invented which is only sensitive to FII and FX. The Fiix-PT can be converted to INR ("Fiix-INR"). The investigators hypothesize that the Fiix-PT may reflect anticoagulation and the antithrombotic effect of VKA as accurately or better than the current PT based tests do (INR based on PT or P&P). The protocol describes a prospective randomized double-blind trial that will be conducted at the Landspitali Anticoagulation Management Center (AMC). The objective of the protocol is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fiix-INR as a monitoring test compared to the current PT based assays (INR) used to monitor patients treated with VKA to prevent thromboembolism. The investigators will randomize 1200 clients of the AMC into two identically sized monitoring groups, Fiix-INR (test group) and INR (control group). The clinical endpoints to be studied include efficacy (arterial and venous thromboembolic event rate) and safety (bleeding events). Additionally, surrogate convenience endpoints will be studied such as test frequency and time within target range.
