Active clinical trials for "Thromboembolism"

Following the findings of the clinical trials in drug development, this global non-interventional cohort field study will investigate rivaroxaban under clinical practice conditions in comparison with current standard of care for patients with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The main goal is to analyze long-term safety in the use of rivaroxaban in the treatment of acute DVT in routine clinical practice.

The primary objective of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of different prophylactic or therapeutic antithrombotic approaches in patients with hematologic neoplasms and platelet count <50 x109/L, including unfractionated or low molecular weight heparin, fondaparinux, anti-vitamin K agents, antiplatelet agents, novel oral anticoagulants, fibrinolytic agents, with or without a policy of platelet transfusion. Cases with arterial or venous thromboembolism managed with observation or use of vena cava filters in patients with venous thromboembolism will be included too.

Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent and burdensome complication of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). In the absence of curative treatment of established PTS, its management is based on the prevention of its occurrence thanks to anticoagulants and compression stockings. So far, predictors of disabling PTS are unknown precluding from optimally selecting patients for invasive (early thrombus removal) or innovative/expensive treatments. In addition, little is known on the incidence of PTS in the very long-term. Objectives: To assess, 12 years after a symptomatic venous thromboembolic (VTE) event, Primary objective: incidence and severity of PTS after a lower limb DVT. Main Secondary objectives: Incidence and severity of PTS according to VTE initial presentation (isolated distal DVT, isolated proximal DVT, PE + DVT). Incidence and risk factors of disabling PTS Methods: Very long-term follow-up (12 years) of patients recruited in the large, multicentre, prospective, observational OPTIMEV study for a suspicion of VTE confirmed or ruled out with objective tests (Clinical Trials NCT00670540). All patients with a DVT, an isolated PE and a random selection of controls (VTE - patients without any history of VTE after the 3 years of follow-up) will first benefit from a phone-PTS assessment. Those patients presenting at least a mild venous insufficiency and a selection of controls will undergo a clinical follow-up visit with clinical and Compleat Ultra Sound (CUS) assessment of PTS/venous insufficiency and an assessment of quality of life. Perspectives: Improving our knowledge of PTS' incidence and predictors and of the impact of usual treatment. Better selecting patients eligible for invasive/innovative/expensive preventative procedures.

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.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of apixaban for the prevention of thromboembolism in adult patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and non-valvular atrial arrhythmias (AA)

The primary objectives of this study is to estimate the real-world safety profile of Eliquis in Japanese Venous Thromboembolism patients and to estimate the risk factors likely to affect the incidence of bleeding. Lastly, the secondary objective of this study is to estimate the real-world effectiveness profile of Eliquis in Japanese Venous Thromboembolism patients.

This study is a retrospective analysis of observational cohorts using data from prospectively collected administrative/claims data to investigate treatment patterns,healthcare resource utilisation (HCRU), direct and indirect costs (where feasible), and safety and effectiveness outcomes in patients with VTE and active cancer or patients with VTE and history of cancer who initiate anticoagulant treatment with a VKA, LMWH or NOACs.

Patients with active cancer are ~5-fold more likely to develop a venous thromboembolism (VTE) than those without. When VTE occurs, cancer patients carry an up to a 3-fold higher rate of thrombosis recurrence and ~twice the risk of bleeding during anticoagulation. Therefore, it is critical to utilize anticoagulants that optimize efficacy while minimizing bleeding risk when treating cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT). Guidelines list direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs) as an alternative to low molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) for treatment of CAT. The strength-of-recommendation for DOACs is based on data from multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing them to LMWHs to treat CAT, with results suggesting DOACs may reduce thrombosis risk but with potentially more frequent bleeding (particularly in those with certain gastrointestinal and genitourinary cancers). Observational studies evaluating DOACs for CAT treatment have been published, but these studies have been either single-arm, evaluated cancer subtypes not recommended for DOAC treatment, were of limited sample size and/or employed heterogeneous definitions of active cancer. We seek to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban versus LMWH for CAT treatment in active cancer patients using a large de-identified electronic health record database. Retrospective cohort analysis using US Optum® De-Identified EHR data. We will use Optum EHR (electronic health records) data from November January 1, 2012 through latest available data (currently September 2020).

The aim of this study is to investigate and compare the mortality, the incidence of DVT and the incidence of kidney and liver failure in patients admitted to the ICU before and after the implementation of an intensified thromboprofylaxis protocol on 31st of March 2020. Patients in the before group are admitted at the ICU from 13/3/2020-30/3/2020 and patients in the after group are admitted to the ICU from 31/3 until 20/4/2020.

Investigators are building an empirical evidence base for real world data through large-scale replication of randomized controlled trials. The investigators' goal is to understand for what types of clinical questions real world data analyses can be conducted with confidence and how to implement such studies.
