Active clinical trials for "Thromboembolism"

The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of post-operative venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing major esophageal resection for malignancy.

According to current guidelines, duration of anticoagulant treatment after a venous thromboembolic event varies from 3 months to indefinite treatment depending on the estimated risks of venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence and bleeding. Current data for edoxaban are limited to a maximum treatment duration of 12 months. Therefore, this study aims to gather further insight into efficacy (i.e. symptomatic recurrent VTE) and safety (i.e. bleeding events, liver adverse events, all-cause mortality and other drug related adverse events) of extended treatment with edoxaban up to 12 months in an unselected patient population in routine clinical practice.

The ADIOS study is a prospective, observational study will evaluate one hundred and thirty (130) patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are currently receiving treatment with apixaban as indicated to reduce the risk of stroke or systemic embolism, and who require an elective major surgical or invasive procedure will be included in the study. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of the recommended pre-procedure washout period of 48 hours.

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.

The aim of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the modifications of the biological hemostatic profile associated with the use of endocrine therapy in women with breast cancer (tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors).

Prospective, multicenter observational study, of the effectiveness of a standard of care protocol implemented to enhance home treatment of VTE. Study population will be selected as part of usual care as eligible for home treatment. Study personnel will travel to participating institutions to qualify the sites, deliver a Powerpoint® lecture to introduce the protocol, meet and train site principal investigators, emergency physicians and research personnel on the implementation of the protocol as part of usual clinical care, and data collection methods for a quality assurance registry with plans to use the data collected in this registry in future publications. Follow-up will be 30 days using medical records and/or telephone interview to assess for primary outcomes of bleeding or VTE recurrence.

The SAVER pilot is a randomized, open-label pilot study to determine the feasibility of recruitment. In addition to feasibility data, the investigators will carefully collect clinical data to determine if rosuvastatin can reduce post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients. Eligible consenting patients who developed acute, symptomatic, and objectively confirmed proximal leg deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or PE will be randomized and equally allocated to 2 trial arms, either the treatment group (rosuvastatin tablet (20 mg/day) or the control group (usual care). The pilot trial consists of up to 4 study contacts over 6 months: screening, randomization, telephone follow-up (90 days), and final study visit (180 days).

The current data on the incidence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) are very variable, depending on the different studies designs. There are no data on the prognostic of PH in patients with asymptomatic pulmonary thromboembolisms (PT), neither paucisymptomatic PH, in which without a prospective follow-up would be underdiagnosed. We thought that the prognosis of both clinical forms (PT with or without symptoms) would be similar. The objective of this study is know the real incidence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) post symptomatic and asymptomatic pulmonary thromboembolic (PT).

The primary objective of this study is to verify, through a randomized, blinded, parallel clinical trial, the efficacy of bovine heparin from Eurofarma Laboratory product when compared to porcine heparin APP Pharmaceutical in patients undergoing surgery cardiovascular disease and who require cardiopulmonary bypass, through the control of hemostasis during and after surgery, based on measurements of markers of coagulation ACT, aPTT, anti-Xa heparin levels and the excessive blood loss (hemorrhage) after the end of surgery.

This study is to identify the following problems and questions with respect to the safety and effectiveness of Xarelto in comparison with other pharmacologic agents in the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in a large sample of patients who undergo elective total hip replacement (THR) or total knee replacement (TKR) in the real-life conditions in its registered indication(s) as required by Korean Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). Known and unknown adverse reactions, especially serious adverse reactions Incidence of adverse reactions under the routine drug use Factors that may affect the safety of the drug Factors that may affect the effectiveness of the drug Other safety information related to overuse, drug interaction and laboratory abnormalities Other adverse reactions
